Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for Adaptive Management: Starting Program Year 15, the five-year average of total enrolled and protected active riparian acres receiving water supply and active management is below the 500 acres.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for Adaptive Management: Starting Program Year 20, the five-year average modified CRAM score is below 10% improvement as a percentage of the associated pre-project baseline modified CRAM scores for any representative site of passive wetland and riparian acres.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Program evaluation will be based on the annual average of acres permanently protected by the Program and managed for the enhancement or maintenance of vernal pool complex habitat.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Through model simulation, the number of days with measured connectivity flow ≥ 20 cfs will be compared to future baseline conditions and the Performance Threshold.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for Implementation milestones: For monitoring Metric 1, adaptive management is triggered when the percentage of executed contracts for water delivery is below the milestone at the associated year.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for
Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for Adaptive Management: During the ramp-up period (Program Years 1 through 5), a trigger will occur if Sandhill crane habitat acres enrolled by the Program are below the milestone at the associated Program Year as described in Section
3.1.2.1. Starting Program Year 10, a trigger will occur if the five-year average of enrolled habitat acres is below 3,500 acres of Sandhill crane habitat meeting the habitat criteria specified in CAPB Section 4.1.1 or if acres enrolled do not include both roosting and foraging habitat types or if enrolled acres were not managed appropriately as defined in Section 4.1.1 of the associated CAPB.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for Adaptive Management: For Metric 1 Cumulative Volume of Additional Flow, the trigger for adaptive management will be assessed every five years through a modeling process. The modeling process will include updating the historical model to incorporate the most recent five years of hydraulic data or by accessing an updated model from others. The model will be validated through comparison of simulated and publicly available observed Cosumnes River streamflow (or stage where streamflow data are not available) and groundwater level data. If the match between simulated and observed values is not within accepted professional standards, then the model will be recalibrated to improve the match. A trigger will occur if the modeled cumulative flow improvement at Twin Cities Road is below the milestone at the associated Program Year as described in Section 3.2.2.1, evaluated every five years. The modeling assessment will be completed within six months of the end of the year being analyzed. For Metric 2 Groundwater Elevations, a trigger will occur starting Program Year 15 if the five-year average spring and fall groundwater elevation measured at MW-7 is below the comparison level established.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Performance evaluation will be based on the number of acres of wetland and riparian habitat supported by passive groundwater benefits (i.e., groundwater elevations improved to within 10 feet bgs) resulting from Program implementation.
Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for Adaptive Management: Starting Program Year 15, the five-year average number of Sandhill crane utilizing the Program habitat is below 700.
