Budget Overview. The QSA JPA Commission adopts an annual budget for the payment of environmental costs for QSA water transfer mitigation projects in the Imperial Valley. The budget is developed by IID in coordination with the QSA Implementation Team (IT), which consists of CDFW, IID, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The annual budget provides revenues generated from agency contributions and interest earnings to meet anticipated fiscal year (FY) mitigation expenditures. Mitigation projects are implemented by IID under direction from the IT. Specific mitigation measures are implemented per environmental permitting requirements and involve various timeframes for completion. Detailed QSA JPA annual spending through FY 2020 by mitigation task is provided in Appendix 1. The JPA Agreement provides a schedule of annual agency contributions that are due on December 31 of each calendar year. As a means of managing cash flow requirements for future mitigation activities, the JPA Agreement permits agencies to adjust their payment schedules by rescheduling future payments from outer years to the near term. Under the Modification of Payment Schedules Pursuant to the QSA JPA Agreement (Advanced Funding Agreement), advanced payments by the agencies are due on July 1 and are discounted at six percent from the date of the scheduled payment to the date of the advance. The QSA JPA has advanced payments from the original JPA Agreement payment schedules to cover expected environmental mitigation expenses. In 2007, the water agencies modified their payment schedules to advance $13.2 million in FYs 2007 and 2008 to cover mitigation requirements through 2013. In 2015, the Board of Directors of the individual water agencies authorized advanced payments to the QSA JPA totaling $40.5 million, consisting of $10 million from the Water Authority, $5 million from CVWD, and $25.5 million from IID, scheduled over six years beginning in FY 2016. The remaining payments per the 2015 Advanced Funding Agreement are shown in Table 1. 2021 $2,697,555 $2,885,115 $1,500,000 $3,801,632 $10,884,302 $7,191,051 2022 $2,706,745 $3,309,240 $1,517,597 $7,533,582 $10,884,302 2023 $2,733,006 $4,746,284 $1,221,837 $8,701,127 $7,533,582 2024 $151,876 $4,888,673 $1,345,439 $6,385,989 $8,701,127 2025 $565,131 $5,035,333 $1,047,693 $6,648,157 $6,385,989 2026 $5,186,393 $5,186,393 $6,648,157 2027 $5,341,985 $5,341,985 $5,186,393 2028 $5,502,244 $5,502,244 $5,341,985 2029 $5,130,911 $5,130,911 $5,502,244 2030 $5,308,589 $5,308,589 $5,130,911 2031 $5,322,392 $5,322,392 $5,308,589 2032 $4,556,924 $4,556,924 $5,322,392 2033 $6,005,020 $6,005,020 $4,556,924 2034 $5,643,731 $5,643,731 $6,005,020 2035 $5,143,974 $5,143,974 $5,643,731 2036 $5,143,974 SECTION 3: REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES IN FY 2021 AND FY 2020 On June 9, 2020, the QSA JPA Commission adopted the FY 2021 budget in the amount of $14,994,760.
