Adaptive Management Program Sample Clauses

Adaptive Management Program. 5.1 Purpose Scientific uncertainty exists regarding the Delta ecosystem, including the needs ofthe Protected Species, the effects of CVP/SWP operations on those species and their habitats, and the related operational criteria and other actions intended to minimize or mitigate those effects on the Protected Species. The Adaptive Management Program described here and in the Adaptive Management Framework (Exhibit C) is being implemented to enhance application ofscience to support decision making related to the operations ofthe CVP and SWP and to advance the co- equal goals ofthe Delta Reform Act of 2009, providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. Implementation ofthe Adaptive Management Program will support the SWP/CVP operations by helping to address scientific uncertainty where it exists, and as it relates to the benefits and impacts ofthe construction and operations ofthe Conveyance Facilities and existing CVP and SWP Delta facilities. The broad purposes ofthe Adaptive Management Program are to: 1) promote collaborative science, 2) guide (by identifying, prioritizing, and funding) the development and implementation ofscientific investigations and monitoring for both permit compliance and adaptive management, 3) apply new information and insights to management decisions and actions, and recommend changes in the Action to DWR and Reclamation, and 4) establish a long-term, funded science infrastructure,.. The Program relies upon existing and new Collaborative Science Workgroups, working in close coordination with each other, to identify and prioritize needed scientific investigations and monitoring. 5.2 Scope of Adaptive Management Program and Actions

Adaptive Management Program. As more particularly illustrated in Figure 5-4 and described in section 5.12 of the HCP, Reclamation shall implement an iterative Adaptive Management Program (AMP) for the LCR MSCP that utilizes the best available scientific information and knowledge, together with the results of monitoring and research, to evaluate the successes and failures of the Conservation Plan. Because changes over time and adaptive responses are contemplated by the LCR MSCP, changes proposed as the result of the AMP or as a result of changed circumstances will not require an amendment to the LCR MSCP, the Permit, or this Agreement. If unforeseen circumstances occur as provided in section 13 of this Agreement, they will be resolved through internal changes in the Conservation Plan through Adaptive Management. Changes proposed as a result of unforeseen circumstances should not require an amendment to the LCR MSCP, the Permit, or this Agreement.

Adaptive Management Program. The Parties agree to use the Adaptive Management program described in Section 4a-4 of the HCP to assist in determining if and when it is necessary or advisable to adjust the forest practices rules and guidance to achieve the HCP's resource objectives or to respond to monitoring results, evaluation, or research. The Adaptive Management program will also be used to respond to changed circumstances as identified in the HCP Section 1-2.5. Changes that result from the Adaptive Management program are provided for in the HCP, and do not constitute unforeseen circumstances or require amendments of the HCP or the Permits except as provided in this section.

Adaptive Management Program. The rights and duties of the Parties as described in this Agreement are parts of the adaptive management program designed to achieve the desired biological goals described in Section 7.1 of the HCP (the Biological Goals). The adaptive management program consists of two phases: (i) Phase One is the initial seven-year program phase that will begin on the Effective Date and end on December 31, 2020, and (ii) Phase Two is the second eight-year program phase that will begin on January 1, 2021, and end on December 31, 2029 with the expiration of the Permit. The Parties have determined that the respective actions and activities to be performed by each Party individually, as described in the HCP, are mutually interdependent for the successful recovery of the Species; and have further determined that in addition to such individual actions and activities, the HCP requires ongoing adaptive management program decisions and actions that will require continuing cooperation and adaptive actions by the Parties.

Adaptive Management Program. Within one year of the Effective Date, and in consultation with the AMT, SCVWD will develop and thereafter implement an Adaptive Management Program. The purpose of the Adaptive Management Program is to maximize biological and physical benefits material to the Overall Management Objectives through the choice and implementation of the most cost-effective flow and non-flow measures. In making such decisions, the AMT will take into consideration: inter-annual and seasonal variation in hydrologic conditions, other constraints and limiting factors that affect achievement of the Overall Management Objectives, and monitoring results of the actual performance of measures already implemented, and opportunities for such measures to provide multiple benefits in the form of improvements to habitat for other fish, wildlife, and plant species and, more generally, the ecological conditions of the Three Creeks. The program will include: (A) Measurable objectives consistent with the Phase One, Two, and Three management objectives for the steelhead trout and salmon fisheries and their habitats in the watersheds subject to the Agreement. The measurable objectives will relate to those habitat qualities impacted by SCVWD=s facilities and operations, given the Parties’ recognition that SCVWD is not responsible under this Agreement for other environmental conditions that may limit the population or distribution of these fisheries. Measurable objectives will be developed for flow measures, including maintenance of suitable water temperatures for summer steelhead rearing, performance of fish passage facilities, and other non-flow measures (B) Operation and maintenance procedures and performance standards for individual facilities to contribute to the achievement of such objectives. (C) Systematic monitoring of fish populations and actual habitat conditions affected by the measures implemented under this Agreement, to determine whether the measures are contributing to achievement of the measurable objectives. During each phase, and on the basis of these monitoring results, the AMT will also evaluate the performance of the entire program in maximizing habitat quality and availability for steelhead and salmon within the framework of this Agreement. The assessment will also evaluate the performance of the program at each phase in reducing or eliminating limiting factors affecting various life stages of steelhead and salmon directly attributable to SCVWD facilities and operations.

Adaptive Management Program. The impacts associated with this work would be analyzed on a project-by-project basis in future CEQA reviews as design documents are prepared. Typical activities that may result in temporary impacts during construction associated with implementation of these types of projects may include, but not be limited to, traffic from hauling of heavy equipment and materials to and from the project site, pruning or removal of riparian vegetation to access the work area, channel dewatering within the limits of the active work area, dredging and removal of barrier materials, disturbance of the channel bed and bank, and closure or limited use of public trails during construction. Additionally, any work at human-made fish passage barriers would likely include concrete or asphalt demolition and removal as well as installation of new energy dissipation improvements or erosion control materials, including riprap or potentially concrete where necessary. All areas with soil not permanently affected would be revegetated with native plantings to restore their pre-project functions and values. Instream work would be limited to the summer work season beginning June 15 and ending October 15. Flows in the two watersheds are lowest during this time, but dewatering would be necessary for most projects. Dewatering of the instream work area would consist of placing a cofferdam upstream of the work area to temporarily impound water. The impounded water would be piped around the active work area using either pumps placed in the impoundment pool or using a gravity fed inlet. The water would be released into the active channel below the Project area. Rock may be placed below the pipe outlet as an energy dissipation measure to reduce erosion of the channel bed. 6 Some barrier remediation projects identified in the Settlement Agreement have been completed (see Appendix B of Appendix A, Draft Fish Habitat Restoration Plan, for a description of these completed projects).
