Please see the East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Planning website, located at http://www.eaststanirwm.org/, for the most recent information. ---PAGE BREAK--- East Stanislaus Region Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Appendix A Appendix A ---PAGE BREAK--- MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AMONG CITY OF MODESTO, CITY OF TURLOCK, CITY OF HUGHSON, AND CITY OF CERES FOR INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated A"1w>t- ,2011 is entered among the City of Modesto, City of Turlock, City of Hughson, and City of Ceres (collectively known as the East Stanislaus Regional Water Management Partnership or Partnership) for the purposes of coordinating water resources planning activities undertaken by the cities/water agencies and to establish mutual understandings of cities/water agencies with respect to their joint efforts in developing an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan that will increase regional coordination, collaboration and communication and help in obtaining funding for water resources-related projects. WHEREAS, the California Legislature enacted SBX2 1 (Perata, Chapter 1 Statues of 2008), the Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Act, which provides that a regional water management group may prepare and adopt an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan. WHEREAS, In November 2006. the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply. Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Act (Prop 84), authorized Legislature to appropriate funding for competitive grants for projects included in Integrated Regional Water Management Plans. WHEREAS, the Cities of Ceres, Hughson, Turlock and Modesto adopted and entered into a cost share agreement for the preparation of an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan on June 22,2010. WHEREAS, the Partnership has submitted an application for approval of the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan and East Stanislaus Region approval, which includes descriptions of the regional boundary, the Partnership, Committees, and governance structure, among other topics, through the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Region Acceptance Process (RAP). WHEREAS, the signatories of the MOU anticipate the potential need for future agreements on specific projects or programs and with other affected agencies to further coordinate long-term water resources planning. WHEREAS, the MOU does not prevent any signatory from pursuing other projects individually and participation in Plan planning is nonbinding, and in no way suggests that an agency's ability to plan and undertake efforts to plan for projects or secure project funding from any source. An agency may withdraw from participation at any time. Now, therefore, the following is mutually understood and agreed: 1. GOALS The goals of the Partnership are: 1.1. To develop a comprehensive planning document to facilitate regional cooperation in providing water supply reliability, water recycling, water conservation, water quality improvement, storm water capture and management, flood man?gement, wetlands enhancement and creation, and environmental and habitat protection and improvement. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 1.2. To foster coordination, collaboration and communication between Partnership agencies responsible for water-related issues and interested stakeholders, to achieve greater efficiencies, enhance public services, and build public support for vital projects. 1.3. To improve regional competitiveness for State and Federal grant funding. 2. DEFINITIONS As used in this MOU, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings set forth below unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. 2.1. Integrated Regional Water Management Plan. The Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) envisioned by state legislators and state resource agencies that integrates the projects and management plans of all water-related agencies and stakeholders in a region, in this case the East Stanislaus Region, in order to foster coordination, collaboration and communication among those entities and to assist decision-makers in awarding grants and other funding. The plan will address water supply, water quality, wastewater, stormwater/flood control, watershed planning and habitat protection and restoration. 2.2. Agency. A public entity, be it a special district, city or other governmental entity, responsible for providing one or more services in the areas of water supply, water quality, wastewater, recycled water, water conservation, stormwater/flood control, watershed planning and habitat protection and restoration. 2.3. Service function. A water-related individual service function provided by an agency, i.e. water supply, water quality, wastewater, recycled water, water conservation, stormwater/flood control, watershed planning, and habitat protection and restoration. 2.4. Partnership. The Partnership consists of the member agencies signatory to this MOU. 2.5. Partner: Agencies that have signed this MOU shall individually be referred to as Partner. 2.6. Project. A comprehensive list of resource projects or programs that yield multiple benefits including one or more of the following: water supply reliability, water conservation and water use efficiency; stormwater capture, storage, clean-up, treatment and management; removal of invasive non-native species, the creation and enhancement of wetlands, and the acquisition, protection, and restoration of open space and watershed lands; non-point source pollution reduction, management and monitoring; groundwater recharge and management; contaminant and salt removal through reclamation, desalting, and conveyance of reclaimed water to users; water banking, exchange, reclamation and improvement of water quality; planning and implementation of mUltipurpose flood management programs; watershed protection and management; drinking water treatment and distribution; ecosystem and fisheries restoration and protection. 2.7. Management plan. An agency's or organization's plan, based in part on the land-use plans within the entity's jurisdiction, that addresses how that entity will provide service in the future in one or more of the following service functions: water supply, water quality, wastewater, recycled water, water conservation, stormwater/flood control, watershed planning or habitat protection and restoration. 2.8. Integration. Assembling into one document the water-related management strategies, projects and plans in the East Stanislaus Region. The first phase would be to identify water management strategies for the region and the priority projects that work together to demonstrate how these strategies work together to provide reliable water supply, protect or improve water quality, provide watershed protection and 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- planning, and provide environmental restoration and protection. Projects and plans would be categorized and opportunities to identify regional benefits of linkages between multiple water management strategies among projects and plans of separate service functions and to see where projects and plans of separate service functions may further interrelate, e.g. wastewater treatment and water recycling or habitat restoration. 3. IRWMP PROJECT PAR"nCIPANTS 3.1. Public agencies. Public agencies, which have developed projects and management plans, are responsible to their respective electorates, and are devoting staff to the process, will take the lead as the voice in the IRWM planning process as described in "Approach to developing the Plan" below. These public agencies shall be one or more of the Partners of the Partnership. 3.2. Contributing entities. Other entities, such as business and environmental groups, are considered valuable co'ntributors and will continue to be invited and encouraged to participate. 3.3. Regulatory agencies. These agencies, such as the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Fish and Game, will be invited to participate. 3.4. Stakeholders and disadvantaged communities. The Signatories understand that a collaborative effort with stakeholders and disadvantaged communities, regardless of their ability to contribute financially, is vital to a successful Plan planning process and ultimate preparation of a Plan. The public at large, stakeholders, and disadvantaged communities will be asked to participate in the planning process and will be given opportunities to provide input and comments on the preparation of a Plan. 4. MUTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS 4.1. An IRWM Plan is needed for the following reasons: To foster increased coordination, collaboration and communication between East Stanislaus Region cities/water agencies and interested stakeholders that may result in more effectively managed resources, cost efficiencies and better service to the public. Some state grants and other funding opportunities require development and implementation of an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan. 4.2. Future cost sharing agreements will be developed among the Partnership members, as needed. Developing an Implementation Grant Funding Application and minor costs of supporting the governance structure are two areas that may require additional funding through this cost sharing agreement. 4.3. The Plan will include, but may not necessarily be limited to, water supply, water quality, wastewater, recycled water, water conservation, stormwater/flood control, watershed planning and habitat protection and restoration. It is acknowledged that the management plans of each individual public agency are based, in part, on the land-use plans within an agency's jurisdiction. Therefore, the resultant Plan will by design have incorporated the land-use plans and assumptions intrinsic to the respective water-related service function. 4.4. The East Stanislaus Region for this MOU is defined as a portion of eastern Stanislaus County that includes the signatories' service areas and is bounded by the Merced River on the South and Stanislaus River on the north. A full description of the regional boundary will be included in the Regional Acceptance Process application which will be submitted to DWR for approval and also as depicted in Exhibit A. 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- 4.5. Approach to developing the Plan: A reasonable approach towards developing the Plan is to first identify the roles and responsibilities of the representatives and stakeholders involved. The governance structure and public outreach sections of the Regional Acceptance Process application will more thorougt"lly describe these groups and their roles. The proposed forum for this regional planning effort is through the creation of the Partnership, Steering Committee, Stakeholder Committee and Stakeholder Subcommittees. Agencies, entities, and the public at large will be invited to participate in the effort. Throughout the Plan planning process, the Partnership will have final decision-making authority. 4.6. DeCision-making. Consensus will be sought in the event the need for a decision arises. A governance structure will be developed outlining the decision making process. Any decision being made by the Partnership is done so based on a vote with each member representative in the Partnership receiving one vote and all actions requiring a simple majority vote. The Partners understand unless a vote of its representative is either pre-approved or ratified by the Partner's governing body, namely its city councilor board, the effect of the representative's vote does not bind that Partner to the decision. Regional decision-making and management processes may be revised as the Region matures and the IRWM Plan is developed and implemented. 4.7. The Partnership shall consist of one representative and one alternate from each participating Partner in the Partnership. Such representatives shall be a board member, council member, general manager, city manager, or as designated by the member agency's electoral body. In the event that the primary representative is unavailable for a meeting, the alternate shall serve as representative. 4.8. Quorum. Representatives or alternates from a majority of the Partnership members shall constitute a quorum for transacting business, except that less than a quorum may vote to adjourn the meeting or to set a date for the next meeting. 4.9. Approval of the Plan. Plan approval and adoption is anticipated by each Partnership member. Should a Partnership member refuse to adopt the IRWMP, the reasons for refusal should be cited and attempts will be made to reconcile any differences. Should the differences remain irreconcilable, the dissenting member will be asked to withdraw from participation in the Partnership. 4.10. Non-binding nature. This document and participation in this MOU and Plan effort are nonbinding, and in no way suggest that a Partner may not continue its own planning and undertake efforts to secure project funding from any source. A Partner may withdraw from participation at any time. 4.11. Personnel and financial resources. It is expected that the signatories of the MOU will contribute the personnel and financial resources necessary to develop and implement the Plan as determined by subsequent agreements. 4.12. Terms of Office. Each representative and alternate in the Partnership shall serve as long as the Partner's governing body, namely the city councilor board of directors, designates that person to serve in that capacity If at any time a representative vacancy occurs in the Partnership, a replacement shall be appointed or designated by the Partner within ninety (90) days of the date that such position becomes vacant. The Partner's alternate representative shall fulfill the role of primary representative until a primary representative is designated by the member agency. Alternate representatives to the Partnership shall be empowered to cast votes in the absence of the primary representative or in the event of a conflict of interest that prevents the primary representative from voting subject to this MOU. 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- 4.13. Officers of the Partnership. The Partnership shall elect a Chair and Vice-Chair, and such other officers it deems appropriate. The duties of the Chair and Vice-Chair are as follows: Chair. The Chair shall direct the preparation -of agendas, call meetings of the Partnership to order, and conduct other activities as deemed appropriate by the Partnership. Vice-Chair. The Vice-Chair shall serve as the Chair in the absence of the Chair. In the event both Chair and Vice-Chair are absent from a meeting, which would otherwise constitute a quorum, and a temporary Chair was not designated by the Chair at the last regular meeting, any Partnership member may call the meeting to order and a temporary chair may be appointed by majority vote to serve until the Chair or Vice-Chair is present. 4.14. Other on-going regional efforts. Development of the Plan is separate from efforts of other organizations to develop water-related plans on a regional basis. As the Plan is developed, work products can be shared with these other organizations. 4.15. Reports and communications. The Steering Committee will regularly report on the progress of the Partnership to the agencies and stakeholders they represent and the associations or organizations to which they belong that are involved in the Plan process. 4.16. Termination. Because the Plan will require periodic review and updating for use into the future, it is envisioned that the joint efforts of those involved will be on-going in maintaining a living document. Thus this document will remain as a reflection of the understandings of the participants when they Signed the MOU. As indicated, Partners of the Partnership MOU may terminate their involvement at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice. However, the Partner terminating its involvement in the Partnership shall still be subject to any agreements entered into by the Partner before the effective date of the termination. 4.17. Additional agencies may join the Partnership provided the Partnership receives a written request from the interested agency to join, the Partnership receives a majority vote to approve the new agency's membership and the new agency becomes a signatory to this MOU and any related cost sharing agreements, 4.18. Procedures. The Partnership may adopt bylaws, rules of conduct for meetings, and operating procedures for the Partnership which would be updated from time to time as needed. To facilitate such efforts, the Partnership may adopt the administrative procedures and policies of a Partner. 4.19. Minutes. A secretary or clerk may be appointed by the Partnership to keep and distribute meeting minutes. 5.

The Roles and Responsibilities address the following: • Overall responsibilities of the SC • Guidance for communication • Attendance expectations • Participation during meetings • Confidentiality of discussion items • Information sharing • Decision‐making • Work product review and development • Media contact • Amendments to Roles and Responsibilities A. Responsibilities The SC leads preparation and implementation of the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan, including, but not limited to, future updates of the Plan. Representatives of the SC are generally those that are actively managing projects. Responsibilities of the SC include:  Manage contracts, information/databases, reporting  Manage the IRWM Plan development and implementation  Provide guidance to consultants and manage contracts  Manage budgets and schedule  Coordinate with the Public Advisory Committee (PAC)  Present unresolved issues/work tasks to the PAC  Generally manage the work  Coordinate and implement the public outreach process  Manage the East Stanislaus IRWMP website  Ensure meetings are announced and posted in advance  Coordinate distribution and posting of materials ---PAGE BREAK--- Steering Committee Roles & Responsibilities October 2011 2  Manage the Public Advisory Committee meetings  Convey Public Advisory Committee’s recommendations to the B. Representation and Participation The SC members will be asked and encouraged to participate as follows.  Designate one representative, and if appropriate one alternate, to serve on the SC  Attend and participate in SC meetings  Come prepared to the SC meetings by reviewing work products and discussion items prior to the meeting  When appropriate, specifically represent the interests and needs of any Disadvantaged Community (DAC) lying within the SC member’s jurisdiction  Review and provide timely comments on draft work products  Adopt, or provide written support for, the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan Some of these actions are discussed further in the following sections. 1. The goal of the SC is to have representatives of the entities implementing water resources‐ related projects engaged in discussion related to the IRWM planning and implementation process. The SC will reach consensus on East Stanislaus IRWM Plan content and recommendations and on the means and methods by which the Plan will be implemented. Straw votes may be taken from time to time to gauge the level of agreement on specific issues. Efforts should be made to accommodate the concerns of all parties. 2. The SC is expected to provide guidance to the PAC and to take the PAC’s comments and constructive criticism on the IRWM planning process and work items into consideration while making decisions. Additionally, the SC will convey PAC and public comments and concerns to the and will facilitate decision‐making at both the PAC and levels. 3. SC members will manage the budget and schedule developed for the IRWM Plan preparation and implementation appropriately to ensure the IRWM Plan is developed on time and within budget and that all subsequent operations are implemented in a likewise manner. The SC will also ensure the PAC is kept apprised of schedule and budget constraints. 4. With the SC’s consent, new committee members may be added to the SC after the first meeting is held. 5. Any current member may terminate membership upon submittal of thirty (30) days written notice to the SC. Upon termination, the former member shall have no obligation to participate in the SC. With the SC’s consent, a terminating member who wishes to maintain his or her organization’s presence on the SC may be replaced. 6. SC membership is completely voluntary and is not a paid (money or in‐kind) position. ---PAGE BREAK--- Steering Committee Roles & Responsibilities October 2011 3 7. Members will be asked to abide by the following procedures to cultivate a venue for constructive discourse.  Allow one person speak at a time.  Treat one another with respect and common courtesy.  Be honest, fair, and as candid as possible.  Respect time constraints and be succinct.  Civility is required.  The personal integrity and values of each member will be respected by other members, including the avoidance of personal attacks and stereotyping.  The motivations and intentions of members will not be assumed nor criticized.  Come with an open mind and respect for other’s interests and differing opinions.  Think outside the box and welcome new ideas.  Commitments will be kept.  Delay will not be employed as a tactic to avoid an undesired result.  Disagreements will be regarded as problems to be solved rather than as battles to be won. 8. Every member will check back with their respective entity and will keep them aware of the ongoing IRWM planning and implementation process and specific SC actions. Input from senior staff and/or governing boards of the SC members will be communicated back to the SC at its next meeting. Any dissension from the respective organizations’ decision‐making bodies that could affect acceptance of SC recommendations will be clearly communicated at each meeting so a solution can be sought. 9. Outstanding issues or concerns of SC members will be brought to the SC first. Members will not communicate their concerns and issues outside of the committee without first bringing them to the SC. 10. Every member is responsible for communicating their position on issues under consideration. It is incumbent upon each member to state the interests of the organization or group they represent. Voicing these interests is essential to enable meaningful dialogue and full consideration of issues by the SC. If a SC member does not attend a SC meeting or communicate their viewpoint on an issue, it is assumed that they agree with decisions and recommendations made by the SC. If a member’s interest is conveyed to another member or staff outside of a meeting, the source of that comment will be clearly conveyed to the SC. C. Operational Functions 1. The SC will develop and maintain a calendar of all scheduled meetings for the both the SC and the PAC, to the extent possible. If a meeting needs to be rescheduled, the SC will coordinate and make every attempt to select a date when a majority of the SC members can attend. 2. SC meetings will be scheduled approximately every one to two months on the fourth Thursday of the meeting month. Each meeting is anticipated to require two hours, to begin ---PAGE BREAK--- Steering Committee Roles & Responsibilities October 2011 4 at the consistent time of 3:00 P.M. The meetings will be held at the City of Modesto City Offices unless an alternate location(s) preferred by SC members is selected. 3. The Steering Committee provides notice of all meeting types by posting the agenda, notices, and minutes on the East Stanislaus IRWM planning website (to be developed), as well as a posting on a public announcement board and direct mailings to a mailing list of interested stakeholders. The Steering Committee ensures the meetings notices are posted with ample time for the public to participate in the meetings. 4. If a member cannot make a scheduled SC meeting, that person shall designate an alternate to attend and represent him or her at that meeting (see Alternates and Observers section.) For continuity, members will minimize their use of alternates to attend and each time an alternate is required, it should be the same individual. The SC member is responsible for briefing the alternate on substantive issues and procedures of the committee. If an alternate is not designated, the SC member should, whenever possible, communicate his or her comments orally or in writing directly to the designated individual(s). SC members also can contact the designated individual(s) at any time to discuss their concerns and needs related to this dialogue. 5. If more than two consecutive SC meetings are missed by a member, the SC members may determine that, in the best interest of the East Stanislaus IRWM planning process, the member should be replaced. 6. All written materials to be discussed at the SC meetings will be mailed 10 days before the meeting date. Materials must be reviewed by members prior to the meeting in an effort to maximize time for constructive discussion. SC members will be selected/volunteer to coordinate these aspects of the group. 7. SC members (as a whole or as designated individual(s)) will prepare a list of the key issues, recommendations, and action items based on discussions and results of SC meetings. These summaries will be submitted to the SC members prior to the next meeting. D. Decision Process 1. This SC has been established to guide the IRWM planning and implementation process and to ensure a collaborative, consensus‐based IRWM Plan is developed and implemented for the East Stanislaus Region. Although consensus (when all members are in full or substantial agreement) is the goal, a majority opinion on key recommendations may be necessary. The decision‐making goal is to have all SC members agree on the item at hand, with no member objecting to a decision or an agreement. 2. If, after a thorough discussion, full or substantial agreement is not reached, then a vote will be taken. SC members can vote “yes”, “neutral” (not optimal, but comfortable with the decision), or “no” (active opposition to a particular decision). If a majority of attending members register a “no” vote, then the proposal is not advanced as an agreed upon SC recommendation. 3. The SC’s final agreement on the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan is expected to take the form of a written statement, signed by the SC members and included in the final plan. ---PAGE BREAK--- Steering Committee Roles & Responsibilities October 2011 5 4. As part of the process of making decisions and developing recommendations, members are encouraged to brainstorm and think creatively. Members are encouraged to put forward tentative proposals for consideration which may later be withdrawn. 5. Preconceived conclusions on issues under discussion by the SC should be avoided to facilitate an objective result. D. Development of Work Products 1. The SC will help develop and support the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan. To ensure an efficient and productive use of SC member time and to be able to achieve the highest quality products, designated SC members, consultants, and/or PAC working groups will develop draft work products for review and comment by all SC and PAC members. Members will offer specific advice about various components of the overall approach and specific tasks in progress. All comments from the PAC will be directed to the SC for further discussion and consideration. 2. SC member comments on written documents under consideration should be made on the actual documents so they can be easily understood and integrated into the revised text of a document. It is understood that the SC’s primary goal for written products is to agree on substantive policies, principles, and recommendations and not to debate the detailed wording of documents. 3. As SC members discuss and make decisions on issues, methodologies and work products, the document preparers will assist SC members by drafting language that reflects the viewpoints of the group. Draft statements or edits to work products that are prepared in this manner will then be circulated for review by all SC members. The final version of the work product or statement of decisions will be presented at the next SC meeting for agreement. 4. Members are asked to provide pertinent information for items under discussion at all meetings. This means that members have an obligation to share any specific information, including possible or pending decisions within or by the organizations they represent, as well as information in the form of reports, memos, and studies which may affect the discussions and recommendations by the members. Tentative or sensitive information will be treated as such. E. Alternates and Observers 1. SC alternates shall be designated for the life of the East Stanislaus IRWM process to provide continuity; they will be provided meeting materials prior to each meeting at the same time as the designated SC members. 2. When not representing the SC members, alternates may sit with SC members during the meeting when seating is available. SC members have priority seating. 3. SC meetings are open to the general public and directly engage the public, as needed, such as times when public input is solicited for on deliverables. During the public meetings, ---PAGE BREAK--- Steering Committee Roles & Responsibilities October 2011 6 observers and the general public can provide comments if 1) time allows, 2) it is constructive, and 3) it is kept to a minimal amount of time. 4. Observers, including representatives of the media, are welcome to attend SC meetings that are open to the public during times when public input is solicited. Media are requested to identify themselves to the facilitators prior to the start of each meeting. Facilitators will provide a copy of this guidance document to observers, if necessary. F. Media Contact 1. If approached by the media, members of the SC will be careful to present only their own views and not those of other members on the SC. Members are encouraged to suggest that media representatives contact other SC members who may have different points of view. 2. While the SC is studying, discussing, or evaluating issues, members will not initiate media contact or make public statements except as mutually agreed by the members. No statements prejudging outcomes will be made to the media. Violation of this will result in the member being removed from the SC. 3. If it so desires, the SC may form a media working group, representing all interests serving on the SC, to jointly draft periodic press releases to accurately convey the proceedings of the SC to the media. These press releases will then be coordinated and released by the designated individual(s), with their professional input. If consensus is reached on items to release to the media, a SC spokesperson will be appointed to highlight only those issues agreed upon by the entire SC. G. Amendments The initial version of these SC Roles and Responsibilities will be implemented after discussion and acceptance at the first SC meeting. Amendments to these guidelines will be made upon the consensus approval, or if necessary, majority approval of the SC present at any given regularly scheduled meeting. ---PAGE BREAK--- East Stanislaus Region Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Appendix D Appendix D ---PAGE BREAK--- East Stanislaus IRWM Public Advisory Committee Members (2012‐2013) Name Affiliation Contact Info Garner Reynolds City of Newman [EMAIL REDACTED] Felipe Casas DAC representative [EMAIL REDACTED] Laura Jensen The Nature Conservancy [EMAIL REDACTED] Mike Willett Turlock citizen [EMAIL REDACTED] Patrick Koepele Tuolumne River Trust [EMAIL REDACTED] [EMAIL REDACTED] [EMAIL REDACTED] Julie Rentner River Partners [EMAIL REDACTED] Jason Preece California Department of Water Resources [EMAIL REDACTED] Daniel Padilla Ceres area citizen ---PAGE BREAK--- September 2011 1 East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Region Public Advisory Committee Roles & Responsibilities Introduction The March 16, 2011 East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) planning kickoff meeting provided an opportunity for persons and entities interested in participating in the Public Advisory Committee (PAC) to sign‐up and commit to serving as a member of the PAC. The purpose of the PAC is to represent a diverse set of East Stanislaus IRWM Planning Region stakeholder interests in a central and guiding role in developing the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan. In that role, the PAC will provide input on various aspects of the IRWM planning process and related work products, and provide input and recommendations to the East Stanislaus Regional Water Management Partnership and the Steering Committee (SC). Consensus will be sought on all PAC‐reviewed work products and decisions. The PAC is the first tier of decision‐making in the ESIRWM region’s governance structure, and provides recommendations for developing project prioritization methodologies to the SC, helps screen and rank projects, contributes to methodology for inclusion of projects in grant applications, provides direct public communication and seeks public feedback and input, and conducts other actions as directed. Members of the PAC are expected to represent the views of their organization or interest group within the community, commit time to take part in the process, and work collaboratively with other members, project staff project manager, project consultants), the general public as they participate, and the and SC. The PAC receives direction and tasks to complete from the SC. Participants in the PAC can include local residents, industry, community leaders/representatives, public agencies, community organizations, key watershed stakeholders, local college students, and representatives of disadvantaged communities and tribal communities. PAC members will provide input about various aspects of East Stanislaus Regional water and environmental resources. Member opinions, recommendations, and other contributions will be important factors in the success of IRWM planning within the Region. To help the PAC run smoothly and be successful, Roles and Responsibilities are outlined herein and will be agreed upon by the members. The Roles and Responsibilities will govern the way in which the PAC makes decisions and provides input to the IRWM planning process.

PAC membership is completely voluntary and is not a paid (money or in‐kind) position. 7. Members will be asked to abide by the following procedures to cultivate a venue for constructive discourse.  Allow one person speak at a time.  Treat one another with respect and common courtesy. ---PAGE BREAK--- September 2011 3  Be honest, fair, and as candid as possible.  Respect time constraints and be succinct.  Civility is required.  The personal integrity and values of each member will be respected by other members, including the avoidance of personal attacks and stereotyping.  The motivations and intentions of members will not be assumed nor criticized.  Come with an open mind and respect for other’s interests and differing opinions.  Think outside the box and welcome new ideas.  Commitments will be kept.  Delay will not be employed as a tactic to avoid an undesired result.  Disagreements will be regarded as problems to be solved rather than as battles to be won. 8. Every member will check back with their respective entity and will keep them informed of the ongoing PAC process and actions. Input from senior staff and/or governing boards of the PAC members will be communicated back to the PAC at its next meeting. Any dissension from the respective organizations’ decision‐making bodies that could affect acceptance of PAC recommendations will be clearly communicated at each meeting so a solution can be sought. 9. Outstanding issues or concerns of PAC members will be brought to the PAC first. Members will not communicate their concerns and issues outside of the committee without first bringing them to the PAC. 10. Every member is responsible for communicating their position on issues under consideration. It is incumbent upon each member to state the interests of the organization or group they represent. Voicing these interests is essential to enable meaningful dialogue and full consideration of issues by the PAC. If a PAC member does not attend a PAC meeting or communicate their viewpoint on an issue, it is assumed that they agree with decisions and recommendations made by the PAC. If a member’s interest is conveyed to another member or project staff outside of a meeting, the source of that comment will be clearly conveyed to the PAC. B. Operational Functions 1. The SC will develop a calendar of all scheduled meetings for the PAC, to the extent possible. If a meeting needs to be rescheduled, the SC will coordinate and make every attempt to select a date when a majority of the PAC members can attend. 2. PAC meetings will be scheduled approximately every two to three months on the 4th Thursday of the meeting month. Each meeting is anticipated to require two hours, to begin at the consistent time of 6 PM. The meetings will be held at various locations, to be determined prior to the meeting date, at a location(s) preferred by PAC members is selected. 3. If a member cannot make a scheduled PAC meeting, that person can designate an alternate to attend and represent him or her at that meeting (see Alternates and Observers section.) ---PAGE BREAK--- September 2011 4 For continuity, members will minimize their use of alternates to attend and each time an alternate is required, it should be the same individual. The PAC member will notify the East Stanislaus project staff in advance. The PAC member is responsible for briefing the alternate on substantive issues and procedures of the committee. If an alternate is not designated, the PAC member should, whenever possible, communicate his or her comments orally or in writing directly to the project staff. PAC members also can contact the project staff at any time to discuss their concerns and needs related to this dialogue. 4. If more than two consecutive PAC meetings are missed by a member, project staff may determine that, in the best interest of the East Stanislaus IRWM planning process, the member should be replaced. 5. The PAC, with the assistance of project staff, may select members or non‐PAC public to serve in smaller technical working groups to address specific topics or issues being considered by the PAC. Working groups will present their work to the PAC for its consideration. The working groups under the direction of the PAC will have the same procedures and guidelines as the PAC. 6. All written materials to be discussed at the PAC meetings will be mailed 10 days before the meeting date. Materials must be reviewed by members prior to the meeting in an effort to maximize time for constructive discussion. 7. The project staff will prepare a list of the key issues, recommendations, and action items based on discussions and results of PAC meetings. These summaries will be submitted to the PAC members prior to the next meeting. C. Decision Process 1. This PAC has been established to allow stakeholders to contribute their knowledge and opinions to the overall East Stanislaus IRWM planning process. Although consensus (when all members are in full or substantial agreement) is the goal, a majority opinion on key recommendations may be necessary. The decision‐making goal is to have all PAC members agree on the item at hand, with no member objecting to a decision or an agreement. 2. If, after a thorough discussion, full or substantial agreement is not reached, then a vote will be taken. PAC members can vote “yes”, “neutral” (not optimal, but comfortable with the decision), or “no” (active opposition to a particular decision). If a majority of attending members register a “no” vote, then the proposal is not advanced as an agreed upon PAC recommendation. Since this is an advisory committee, the need for a vote would be an unusual occasion and would simply reflect how the majority of the PAC feels about an issue. If the feels strongly about support for a recommendation, it will move forward with a clear delineation of majority and minority viewpoints, and the reasons why such differences continue and how the PAC will continue to move forward despite these differences will be documented. Inclusion of such a description of remaining areas of disagreement in the meeting summary notes is consistent with support for the plan as a whole. 3. Technical working groups established by the PAC will develop recommendations or proposals for PAC consideration. Working groups will not have decision‐making authority. ---PAGE BREAK--- September 2011 5 Decisions on whether to incorporate the working group recommendations into the PAC recommendations will be made by majority approval among the PAC members. 4. The PAC’s final agreement on the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan is expected to take the form of a written statement, signed by the PAC members and included in the final plan. 5. As part of the process of making decisions and developing recommendations, members are encouraged to brainstorm and think creatively. Members are encouraged to put forward tentative proposals for consideration which may later be withdrawn. 6. Preconceived conclusions on issues under discussion by the PAC should be avoided to facilitate an objective result. D. Development of Work Products 1. The PAC will help support the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan development and provide input to the SC throughout the planning process. To ensure an efficient and productive use of PAC member time, and to be able to achieve the highest quality products, project staff will develop draft work products for review and comment by PAC members. Members will offer specific advice about various components of the overall approach and specific tasks in progress. All comments will be directed to the SC for further discussion and consideration. 2. PAC member comments on written documents under consideration should be made on the actual documents and submitted to project staff so they can be easily understood and integrated into the revised text of a document. It is understood that the PAC’s primary goal for written products is to agree on substantive policies, principles, and recommendations and not to debate the detailed wording of documents. 3. As PAC members discuss and make decisions on issues, methodologies and work products, the project staff will assist PAC members by drafting language that reflects the viewpoints of the group. Draft statements or edits to work products that are prepared in this manner will then be circulated for review by all PAC members. The final version of the work product or statement of decisions will be presented at the next PAC meeting for agreement. 4. Members are asked to provide pertinent information for items under discussion at all meetings. This means that members have an obligation to share any specific information, including possible or pending decisions within or by the organizations they represent, as well as information in the form of reports, memos, and studies which may affect the discussions and recommendations by the members. Tentative or sensitive information will be treated as such. E. Alternates and Observers 1. PAC alternates designated as such for the life of the East Stanislaus IRWM planning and implementation process will be provided meeting materials prior to each meeting at the same time as the designated PAC members. 2. When not representing the PAC members, alternates may sit with PAC members during the meeting when seating is available. PAC members have priority seating. 3. and SC members may attend PAC meetings as they wish. ---PAGE BREAK--- September 2011 6 4. Observers, including representatives of the media, are welcome to attend PAC meetings, and are requested to identify themselves to the facilitators prior to the start of each meeting. Facilitators will provide a copy of this guidance document to observers, if necessary. 5. Observers and the general public can attend any and all PAC meetings and provide comment on any item, whether it is included on the meeting agenda or not, if 1) time allows, 2) is constructive, 3) kept to a minimal amount of time. F. Media Contact 1. If approached by the media, members of the PAC will be careful to present only their own views and not those of other members on the PAC. Members are encouraged to suggest that media representatives contact other PAC members who may have different points of view. 2. While the PAC is studying, discussing, or evaluating issues, members will not initiate media contact or make public statements except as mutually agreed by the members. No statements prejudging outcomes will be made to the media. Violation of this will result in the member being removed from the PAC. 3. If it so desires, the PAC may form a media working group, representing all interests serving on the PAC, to jointly draft periodic press releases to accurately convey the proceedings of the PAC to the media. These press releases will then be coordinated and released by the project staff, with their professional input. If consensus is reached on items to release to the media, a PAC spokesperson will be appointed to highlight only those issues agreed upon by the entire PAC. G. Amendments The initial version of these PAC Roles and Responsibilities will be implemented after discussion and acceptance at the first PAC meeting. Amendments to these guidelines will be made upon the consensus approval, or if necessary, majority approval of the PAC present at any given regularly scheduled meeting. ---PAGE BREAK--- East Stanislaus Region Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Appendix E Appendix E ---PAGE BREAK--- October 2011 1 East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Region Outreach and Communications Plan 1 Background The purpose of this Stakeholder Outreach and Communications Plan is to specify the identified methodology and approach to ensuring the timely dissemination of information associated with preparation and implementation of an Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan for the East Stanislaus IRWM Region. Specific focus is placed on outreach to disadvantaged communities (DACs), environmental justice (EJ) representatives, Native American tribes, and conservation organizations. Beginning in July 2010, the four cities that will comprise the East Stanislaus Regional Water Management Partnership the cities of Modesto, Ceres, Turlock and Hughson, began coordinating to develop an IRWM Region and to begin the IRWM planning process that will ultimately result in an IRWM Plan for the East Stanislaus Region. The cities that will comprise the are currently in the process of executing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Integrated Regional Water Management Planning. The understands the importance of engaging stakeholders and the general public throughout the water management planning and IRWM process and therefore provides various avenues for participation. This Stakeholder Outreach and Communications Plan will guide stakeholder outreach throughout the East Stanislaus IRWM planning and implementation process and will work to facilitate relationship building by promoting the active participation of local stakeholders through the entire process. 2 Outreach Goals and Objectives The goal of the Stakeholder Outreach and Communications Plan is to ensure that the public is both aware of and a part of the integrated regional water management planning and implementation process in the East Stanislaus Region in order to develop a collaborative water management portfolio prioritized on the regional goals and objectives. The objectives of the Outreach Plan include, but are not limited to: • Fostering coordination, collaboration, and communication among regional and local agencies responsible for water-related issues to achieve greater efficiencies, and to build public support for vital projects. • Sharing findings and solicit community comments on draft project work products. ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 2 • Responding quickly and effectively to any questions or concerns that may arise during the IRWM planning process. • Involving key stakeholders which represent most, if not all, East Stanislaus IRWM Region key interests and secure their support of the process with well-balanced representation and commitment. • Sustaining Public Advisory Committee and Steering Committee member participation and level of effort through project completion. • Establishing contacts within local organizations that can assist in broadening outreach efforts by communicating IRWM planning efforts and encouraging participation within their group. 3 Key Messages To help the public and stakeholders understand the need for IRWM planning within the East Stanislaus Region, the has identified the key messages defining why an IRWM Plan is necessary and reasons for the associated collaboration among stakeholders. 1. The purpose of the East Stanislaus IRWM planning process is to develop an IRWM Plan outlining shared conflicts and issues, and to identify projects that will address these issues; by developing an IRWM Plan, the solutions will have multi-benefits and beneficiaries. 2. The East Stanislaus IRWM Plan will enable the Region to compete for future rounds of available funding through Propositions 84 and/or 1E and from future funding initiatives. Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006, authorized Legislature to appropriate $1 billion for IRWM projects that assist local public agencies in meeting long-term water needs. Proposition 1E, the Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006, authorized Legislature to appropriate $300 million for grants for stormwater flood management projects. 3. Cooperation and coordination among regional stakeholders, as well as input and comments from stakeholders, will help maximize the benefits realized within the East Stanislaus Region and ensure an IRWM Plan developed on a consensus-based approach is prepared. These key messages will continue to be emphasized at all meetings, but especially highlighted at the initial public meeting on March 16, 2011. In addition, the key messages will be emphasized in press releases, media interviews, and project collateral pieces. The understands that individual stakeholders’ concerns, interests, comments and suggestions will differ. 4 Stakeholder Involvement and Outreach 4.1 Overview In order to engage stakeholders, including disadvantaged and tribal communities, the East Stanislaus Region conducts various meetings that are open to the public. The will conduct an initial ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 3 workshop on March 16, 2011 to announce the creation of the East Stanislaus Region and the IRWM planning process within the Region. At this meeting, contact information of all meeting attendees will be compiled and a stakeholder list will be created. The stakeholder contact list will continually be updated as new persons, entities, and organizations express interest in the IRWM planning process. The most recent version of this stakeholder list is included in Appendix A. In addition to providing general information about the IRWM planning process, a call for applications for participation on the Public Advisory Committee (PAC) will be conducted in which stakeholders who want to become a member of the PAC can voice their interest in doing so, understanding that they will attend regularly scheduled meetings and are committing to a designated person or alternate in attendance. The PAC serves as one venue for conveying stakeholders input, comments, interests and ideas to the planning process. The public outreach process for the East Stanislaus Region provides stakeholders with two options for involvement: general public participation at the Steering Committee, and PAC meetings, and involvement through participation as a member of the PAC. This format ensures both a balanced and diverse collection of stakeholders due to the flexibility in the level of commitment and involvement for those interested. The following methods are used to not only disseminate information to stakeholders, disadvantaged and tribal communities and the general public, but to allow stakeholders and the public to provide input, ask questions, and participate in the planning process and IRWM Plan development process: • Steering Committee, and PAC meetings • East Stanislaus IRWM planning website (to be launched in October 2011) • Handouts, newsletters, advertisements, press releases or special events The methods for public involvement are discussed in more detail in the following sections. 4.2 Public Outreach In order to make the public both aware of and a part of the regional water management planning and IRWM planning efforts within the Region, various methods will be applied to reach a varied audience. Public workshops will be conducted to introduce the IRWM process and, as needed, to update the public at key junctures in the regional water management process and to allow for public input. The will conduct meetings for themselves, the Steering Committee, and the Public Advisory Committee. The public will be allowed to attend Steering Committee and Public Advisory Committee meetings and provide comments on both agendized and non-agendized items. The public may also attend open sessions of meetings to provide comments on agendized items only (similar to the way City Council meetings are conducted). The Steering Committee provides notice of all meeting types by posting the agenda, notices, and minutes on the East Stanislaus IRWM planning website (to be launched in October 2011), as well as a posting on a public announcement board and direct mailings to a mailing list of interested stakeholders. The Steering Committee ensures the meetings notices are posted with ample time for the public to participate in the meetings. Additionally, as documents are developed and ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 4 public review is solicited, copies are placed in public libraries for public access and on the Region’s website. Other mechanisms used to ensure public awareness of the East Stanislaus IRWM process include the development and distribution of brochures, fact sheets, IRWM process status newsletters, and brief updates. Hard copies are available at meetings and electronic copies are sent to the email distribution list and posted on the Region’s website. The East Stanislaus Region has developed a Region-specific website and plans to launch the website in October 2011. The members will include a link to the regional website on their respective websites. The brochures, handouts and other documents developed as part of the IRWM process will also be made available on the website for others to view. 4.3 Public Input There are multiple ways for public to gain access to the and the overall IRWM process. The makes information available to the general public, including the status of the IRWM process and upcoming decisions to be made, through the handouts and website. If a member of the general public or a stakeholder has questions and comments, they are directed to a designated contact. At present, the designated contact is Jim Alves at the City of Modesto at the [PHONE REDACTED]. The public can provide input to the by attending the meetings, calling the provided contact, or emailing the contact with comments and questions. The designated contact discusses the questions and comments received with the Steering Committee, who takes the public input into consideration and responds to each call or email, as appropriate. If the receives public comment directly, they provide the comments/input to the Steering Committee to consider and respond to as appropriate. In order to address the diversity of water management issues, geographical representation and stakeholder interests within the East Stanislaus Region, the has identified and directly invited the following key parties to participate in meetings, committees and subcommittees: • Modesto, Oakdale and Turlock Irrigation Districts • the Cities of Riverbank, Waterford and Oakdale • the Communities of Keyes, Denair, Del Rio, Westley, Riverbank Monterey Park, Knight’s Ferry, Crows Landing, Grayson, Hickman, Empire and Riverdale • Stanislaus County • The Stanislaus County Farm Bureau, • Friends of the Tuolumne River • Gomes Lake • Salida Sanitary Sewer District Additionally, the plans to partner with local colleges, such as Modesto Junior College, California State University-Stanislaus, Humphreys College, and San Joaquin Valley College, to encourage participation from younger participants between the ages of 18 and 25. There is also the potential to ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 5 combine participation in meetings with classes and/or class projects and studies. By performing specific outreach to local colleges, a wide range of ideas can be accessed. 4.4 Committees Steering Committee The purpose of the Steering Committee (SC) is to lead the East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) planning and implementation process with direction from and in coordination with the The Steering Committee leads preparation and implementation of the IRWM Plan and future updates of the Plan. Representatives of the SC are generally those that are actively managing projects. Responsibilities of the SC include: • Manage contracts, information/databases, reporting • Manage the IRWM Plan development and implementation • Provide guidance to consultants and manage contracts • Manage budgets and schedule • Coordinate with the Public Advisory Committee • Present unresolved issues/work tasks to the Public Advisory Committee • Generally manage the work • Coordinate and implement the public outreach process • Manage the East Stanislaus IRWMP website • Ensure meetings are announced and posted in advance • Coordinate distribution and posting of materials • Manage the Public Advisory Committee meetings • Convey Public Advisory Committee’s recommendations to the SC meetings are open to the general public and directly engage the public, as needed, such as times when public input is solicited on deliverables. During the public meetings, stakeholders can provide comments on agendized and non-agendized items. An anticipated schedule of SC and PAC meetings are included in Appendix B. Public Advisory Committee As previously mentioned, at the March 16, 2011 East Stanislaus IRWM kickoff meeting, persons and entities interested in participating in the Public Advisory Committee (PAC) were invited to sign-up for participation on the committee. The purpose of the PAC is to represent a diverse set of East Stanislaus Region stakeholder interests and have a central and guiding role in developing and implementing the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan. The PAC will provide input on various aspects of the IRWM planning process and related work products; consensus will be sought on all PAC-reviewed work products. Whenever consensus cannot be reached, the IRWM Plan will reflect the opinion of the majority of PAC members ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 6 with minority opinions documented in the meeting minutes. The PAC members will be asked and encouraged to participate as follows. • Designate one representative, and if appropriate one alternate, to serve on the PAC • Attend and participate in PAC meetings • When appropriate, specifically represent the interests and needs of any Disadvantaged Community located within the PAC member’s jurisdiction • Review and provide timely comments on draft work products • Adopt, or provide written support for, the East Stanislaus IRWM Plan To help the PAC run smoothly and be successful, Roles and Responsibilities will be outlined and agreed upon by the members. The Roles and Responsibilities will govern the way in which the PAC makes decisions and provides input to the IRWM planning process. The Roles and Responsibilities will address the following: • Guidelines for communication • Attendance expectations • Participation during meetings • Confidentiality of discussion items • Information sharing • Decision-making • Work product review and development • Media contact • Amendments to Roles and Responsibilities 5 Disadvantaged Communities Outreach A Disadvantaged Community (DAC), according to the State of California (CA Water Code, Section 79505.5(a)), is a community with a Median Household Income (MHI) less than 80 percent of the California statewide household income. According to 2000 U.S. Census data, the most recent, accurate Census data available, a number of DACs exist within the East Stanislaus Region. The California statewide MHI was $47,493, thus communities with an average MHI of $37,994 or less are considered DACs. Within the East Stanislaus Region, the communities of Hickman, Keyes, Bret Harte, Empire, Shackelford, West Modesto, Riverdale Park, and portions of Modesto, Turlock, Denair and Ceres are DACs. Involvement and participation by representatives of these communities during the East Stanislaus IRWM planning process will be solicited and encouraged will help understand the issues confronted by disadvantaged communities and better address the needs of minority and/or low-income communities. Objectives of specific outreach to DACs include: • Solicit involvement by individual representatives from DACs within the East Stanislaus Region and encourage participation by those representatives as members of the PAC. ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 7 • For DACs which do not have designated community representatives on the PAC, encourage other PAC members to specifically advocate and represent the interests of those DACs which may lie within a PAC member’s jurisdiction or area of special interest. • Inform representatives and residents of DACs via flyers and newspaper notices about opportunities to get involved with the East Stanislaus IRWM planning process and participate in development, integration, and prioritization of projects. The following shows the locations of the DACs within the East Stanislaus Region. 6 Inter-Regional Coordination The East Stanislaus region borders the Eastern San Joaquin, Westside-San Joaquin, Yosemite-Mariposa, and Tuolumne-Stanislaus regions and has a slight overlap with the Merced region as depicted in the following figure. ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 8 The East Stanislaus Region was developed to fill in the obvious void in IRWM coverage in the Central Valley. When determining the boundaries for the Region, however, natural water boundaries were also important so that the Region would make sense from a watershed perspective, given the region’s use of surface water as part of its supply and distinct features. This criterion resulted in a triangular area in the north-eastern portion of Stanislaus County being uncovered by the East Stanislaus Region. It is not in the Modesto groundwater basin, which was used to determine the northern boundary and its surface water drains into the East San Joaquin Region. This area overlies the Eastern San Joaquin groundwater basin, an area mostly covered by the Eastern San Joaquin IRWM Region. The East Stanislaus Region plans to discuss the triangular gap with the Eastern San Joaquin Region to ensure that stakeholders in that area are not neglected. The has an ongoing relationship with members of the Westside-San Joaquin region in which members of the have attended meetings with the Westside-San Joaquin Region and participated in the planning process. Because development of the East Stanislaus Region is relatively new, relationships with other IRWM regions are in initial stages or have not yet materialized. The plans to discuss water management strategies that have or will be employed by each of the neighboring IRWM Regions to identify opportunities for inter-regional collaboration and to optimize management strategies. The has had contact with the Merced, Tuolumne-Stanislaus and Yosemite-Mariposa regions. The ---PAGE BREAK--- Outreach and Communications Plan October 2011 9 Tuolumne-Stanislaus and East Stanislaus regions have discussed developing protocol for inter-regional coordination and communication; once these protocols are finalized, the Outreach and Communication Plan will be amended to include them as an appendix. Letters of Cooperation may also be developed with surrounding regions which will outline methods for communication and coordination. The surrounding regions have public meetings that representatives from the East Stanislaus region will attend periodically to stay up to date on the regions’ progress. The anticipated meeting dates open to the public conducted by the surrounding regions are summarized in the following table.

In general, IRWM involves looking at water management issues from a multitude of perspectives as diverse stakeholders engage one another. That process can yield multi- benefit projects that meet several entities’ goals and objectives in a more cost effective manner than each entity acting on its own. Previously, water management entities tended to work with a narrow focus on their service area and primary function, sometimes com- peting against similar efforts to resolve similar issues or advancing duplicative efforts. Why is IRWM important to me? Why should I participate? IRWM operates on the principle that each stakeholder holds a piece of the water manage- ment solution for their region and that the best solutions require better communication and understanding of regional issues than has previously occurred. The more partners involved in an IRWM, the higher the potential for better water management solutions. In addition to the IRWM grant, are there other sources to fund a project? Yes, while recent State bond funding mea- sures have provided a large amount of grant funding specifically for IRWM plans and implementation, there are other oppor- tunities for projects. Various state grant and loan programs, administered by DWR and other state agencies, can provide fund- ing, including: FloodSAFE, urban streams, local groundwater assistance, stormwater quality, rivers and parkways, and state re- volving fund loans. Federal funding may also be available for some types of projects. Local financing will make up the largest portion of funding in many regions. The IRWM plan should serve as a strategic investment plan for all sources of funding. What’s the current state of IRWM planning? IRWM planning regions now cover approximately 82% of the area of the State, an increase of 28% in five years. Planning regions include approximately 98% of the popu- lation in California, an increase of 4% in five years. IRWM planning regions vary in size. Some cover an entire hydrologic region of the State. In other hydrologic regions there are multiple IRWM planning regions. The largest IRWM planning region is approxi- mately 12.5 M acres and the smallest about 170,000 acres. The enclosed map presents the current IRWM planning regions in the State. What is the relationship between local planning and IRWM planning? Local planning is important and will continue as not all water resource management issues are regional in nature. In fact, sound local planning helps generate regional issues and objectives that can benefit from integrated solutions. What do people involved in IRWM planning regions say? Opinions about IRWM vary, but there is broad agreement on some of the factors that lead to successful implementation of the IRWM. 6 IRWM efforts are long term. 6 IRWM efforts yield unprecedented coordination and cooperation. 6 One of the most valuable outcomes of IRWM efforts are the relationships formed between diverse stakeholders. How does someone get involved? DWR’s web site contains contact information for current IRWM efforts (see resources section). If an IRWM effort does not currently exist in your area, you can begin to iden- tify other water management entities in your area to begin the conversation or you can contact one of DWR’s regional contacts to begin to connect to others in your area. W Contacts For more information on Integrated Regional Water Management, please contact us at: [EMAIL REDACTED] Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) is a collaborative effort to man- age all aspects of water resources in a re- gion. IRWM differs from traditional ap- proaches to water resource management by integrating all facets of water supply, water quality, waste water treatment, and flood and storm water management. IRWM crosses jurisdictional, water- shed, and political boundaries; involves multiple agencies, stakeholders, indi- viduals, and groups; and attempts to ad- dress the issues and differing perspec- As indicated in the CWP Update 2009, IRWM is a key initiative to ensuring reli- able water supplies in the future. IRWM helps communities and regions incorpo- rate sustainable actions into their water management efforts. A main focus of IRWM planning is di- versification of a region’s water portfolio so that multiple resource management strategies are employed in meeting fu- ture water and water quality needs of all sectors. This diversification should help regions to better prepare to face an un- certain future of water availability and water use; while protecting and improv- ing water quality and the environment. As a key initiative in the CWP, IRWM is a long term approach to water manage- ment in California. As IRWM evolves, DWR seeks to encourage planning ef- forts that are collaborative and use broad stakeholder participation to gain the in- put that leads to diversity of water man- agement strategies. Such planning ef- forts can live well into the future beyond current state funding incentives. W tives of all the entities involved through mutually beneficial solutions. IRWM is an example of integrated resource planning, which began in the late 1980s in the electric power industry as a compre- hensive approach to resource management and planning. When applied to water man- agement, integrated resource planning is a systems approach that explores the cause- and-effect relationships between different aspects of water resource management, with an understanding that changes in the management of one aspect of water re- sources can affect others. Because water re- sources are often not confined to the bound- aries of a single water management agency, a consensus-based, cross-jurisdictional, re- gional approach provides an opportunity to formulate comprehensive solutions to water resource issues within a region. The methods used in the IRWM include a range of water resource management strat- egies, which relate to water supply, water quality, water use efficiency, operational flexibility, and stewardship of land and nat- ural resources. W Although IRWM planning has roots in integrated resource planning, recent developments have caused a surge in IRWM activity in California. The Integrated Regional Water Man- agement Act of 2002 (Senate Bill 1672, Costa) amended the California Water Code (CWC) to add §10530 to encour- age local agencies to work cooperative- ly to manage local and imported water supplies to improve the quality, quan- tity, and reliability of those supplies. While this act provided the authority for IRWM plans, it gave little guidance or incentive for IRWM planning or implementation. In November 2002, California voters passed Proposition 50, the Water Secu- rity, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act of 2002, which provided $500,000,000 (CWC §79560- 79565) to fund competitive grants for projects consistent with an adopted IRWM plan. The grant program was run as a joint effort between the De- partment of Water Resources (DWR) and the State Water Resources Control Board to provide both planning and im- plementation grants to IRWM efforts. What is IRWM? Background The incentive provided by this funding, as well as the direction provided in grant program guidelines, were major drivers for progress in IRWM over the last sev- eral years. In December 2005, DWR released the Cal- ifornia Water Plan (CWP) Update, 2005, which names the IRWM as a key initiative to ensure reliable water supplies. In November 2006, California voters passed Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality, and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006. Proposition 84 pro- vides $1,000,000,000 for IRWM planning and implementation. At the same time, California voters also passed Proposition 1E, the Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006, which pro- vides, among other actions, $300,000,000 for storm water projects that reduce flood damage and are consistent with an IRWM plan. In October 2009, DWR released the CWP Pre-Final Draft, Update 2009, which em- phasizes the need for integrated regional water management. As stated in the High- lights volume, “IRWM provides a critical framework for actions to address the un- certainties presented by climate change as well as other risks to California’s water future.” The first objective in the imple- mentation chapter (Volume 1, Chapter 7) is to promote, improve, and expand inte- grated regional water management.

Purpose of Meeting  Provide update on IRWMP development status  Introduce project solicitation form and website  Kick‐off project solicitation period  Discuss planning grant application 2. Discussion Summary  Jim Alves opened the meeting at 6:09 p.m. He introduced himself and asked the group to introduce themselves. Alves gave a summary of the Integrated Regional Water Management Program, the East Stanislaus Region and planning process and the project solicitation process. Alves then facilitated a slide show that was included in the handouts.  The group of attendees, which included representatives from groups attending for the first time, was invited by Alves to partner with the East Stanislaus IRWM in applying for grant funds. “If you’ve got water issues, this is the place to be,” said Alves.  Groups he was directly seeking participation from included irrigation districts, environmental groups, counties and disadvantaged communities.  The following are some questions Alves answered: – Patrick Koepele asked why the triangle piece of property directly north of the East Stanislaus Region was not included. Alves said it was not believed to be part of the watershed and so it was not a good fit. He also mentioned the area is sparsely populated and did not share the same water source/concerns as the rest of the region. – Debbie Liebersbach asked why the Merced side of the region did not follow the river. Alves replied that the overlap was a result of the ESIRWM region following the Turlock Irrigation District (TID) service area boundary at that location. He noted that the Merced IRWM Region did not have an issue with the two Regions overlapping and that the two regions have agreed to work together on water issues in this overlapping area. Leslie Dumas also pointed out other overlaps that existing between IRWM regions in the State and noted they were not unusual. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Modesto - Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Public Workshop Minutes April 2012 Page 2 of 3 – Patrick Koepele asked who makes decisions for the Region. Alves said the Region is a partnership of the four cities: Modesto, Turlock, Ceres and Hughson, and that members from these four regions form the East Stanislaus Regional Water Management Partnership Under the are several committees, including the Steering Committee (SC) and Public Advisory Committee (PAC). These committees are where the work is being done. As far as the Steering Committee and the Public Advisory Committee, he said it was best to be on both committees if possible.  Alves handed the presentation off to Leslie Dumas at 6:38 p.m. She discussed the IRWM planning process and identified issues and conflicts. Dumas also identified the Regional goals, which included goals for: o Water supply o Flood protection o Water Quality o Environmental Protection and Enhancement o Regional Communication and Cooperation, and o Economic and Social Responsibility. She noted projects to be submitted for inclusion in the IRWMP need to address and support at least one of the goals.  Dumas then also asked for participants to consider and submit projects for inclusion in the IRWM Plan. “We’re here today to identify projects to meet goals. Give me your projects.”  While a project can be submitted in hard‐copy form, Dumas said it was preferred that projects be submitted through the East Stanislaus IRWM website – www.eaststanirwm.org as the project will automatically be entered into the organization’s database.  Dumas also said the ES IRWM region and DWR are looking for projects which touch multiple goals: “double bang for the bucks,” and projects which benefit disadvantaged communities.  Alves offered to help in completing the application. “Give us a call and we can walk you through it,” he said.  Joe Marcotte asked, “Help me understand the role of this group? Must we go through this group.” Dumas described further how the IRWM program operates and their overall directive, and noted that if you want funding through the IRWM program, your project must in an IRWM Plan. But being in the IRWM Plan does not preclude you from seeking funding elsewhere.  Alves stressed the importance of benefiting disadvantage communities. Dumas added, if you have a project that enhances a DAC, that puts you to the top of the list in the grant funding arena.  Patrick Koepele asked who decides what projects are in the plan. Dumas noted that all projects submitted will be in the IRWM Plan, provided they meet the minimum requirements, but that only the strongest projects would be included in grant applications. The scoring system for prioritizing the projects was explained and it was noted that a mix of key factors, including an environmental element and flood protection, were important to a high score. The goal of compiling the grant applications is to put together a package that will score the highest. The right mix was needed to maximize the points. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Modesto - Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Public Workshop Minutes April 2012 Page 3 of 3  It was asked if the Region had a good chance to get Planning Grant funds. Dumas said there was approximately $13 million in requests, with $9 million to be funded, so the Region’s chances were good.  The meeting was concluded at 7:45 p.m. ---PAGE BREAK--- Public Workshop – September 11, 2013 ---PAGE BREAK--- I certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury That the foregoing is true and correct and that This declaration was executed at MODESTO, California on September 9th, 2013 (By Electronic Facsimile Signature) DECLARATION OF PUBLICATION (C.C.P.

Purpose of Meeting  Provide overview on Public Draft East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (ESIRWMP)  Provide overview of next steps in completing and adopting the IRWMP 2. Discussion Summary  Jim Alves opened the meeting at 6:07 p.m. He introduced himself and asked the group to introduce themselves. Jim gave a summary of the history of the East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Program, and then turned the meeting over Dave Richardson. Dave gave an overview of the East Stanislaus Region and planning process. Leslie Dumas then followed Dave in the presentation and summarized key information for each chapter of the draft East Stanislaus IRWMP. Hard copies of the IRWM Highlights document and CDs containing the Draft IRWM Plan were made available to attending stakeholders. Stakeholders were informed that all documents are also available on the IRWM website (eaststanirwm.org) and that Draft Plan comments are due to Jim by the end of September.  The following are some questions asked during the workshop:  Is the County involved? – Jim responded that the County has been invited to participate multiple times, as have other organizations. Jim stated that though some agencies, such as Oakdale and Riverbank, had shown interest and participated early in the process, reduced staffing levels and loss of primary contacts appeared to be the culprits for these agencies not continuing participation, though some communication via email has recently been re‐ established. For the County, Jim stated the lack of a centralized water resources responsibility appeared to be the main reason that the IRWM has been unsuccessful in attracting a County staff person from any one department to attend meetings and participate at any level. They (the County) have primarily been lacking in staff with primary water resources responsibilities and linked funding to support participation. It was suggested that now would be a good time to revisit the County regarding this program as they have just finished meeting on the proposed groundwater export ordinance. Jim stated that the County is involved with the ongoing Regional Flood Management Plan (RFMP) effort and sees this as a positive and potential tie‐in to also becoming active in the IRWM. Jim will also contact Mr. Riddell regarding some contacts with the County. ---PAGE BREAK--- East Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Public Workshop Minutes September 2013 Page 2 of 2  Can anyone submit a project? – Jim responded that anyone can submit a project for consideration in the IRWMP. He anticipates that the next call for projects will be in the late winter or early spring of 2014. Leslie noted that the plan has been designed to allow for regular call for projects and updates without requiring the plan to be re‐adopted.  How does one participate in the IRWMP process? – There are multiple ways to participate in the planning process, including being signatory to the MOU and participating on the East Stanislaus Regional Water management Partnership (the regional water management group), participating on the Public Advisory Committee (PAC) or being a stakeholder and getting information updates and attending the public workshops. It was noted that the PAC includes members of all types, including representatives from a neighboring IRWM region (Mike Willett from Patterson).  Joint projects – Jim noted that he is communicating with the adjacent regions and that inter‐ regional projects, such as the North Valley Regional Recycled Water Project, are definitely welcome. The information regarding the projects just needs to be coordinated between the two regions.  Correlation with Regional Flood Management Plan (RFMP) – Leslie noted that the first few draft sections of the RFMP that have been release and were compared with the draft ESIRWMP, and the results were favorable (that is, the draft plan sections correlated). Julie noted that the 100‐year flood plain was recently remapped, and that we’ll want to update the ESIRWMP to reflect the new work once it was done.  The meeting was concluded at 8:00 p.m. ---PAGE BREAK--- East Stanislaus Region Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Appendix I Appendix I ---PAGE BREAK--- ver. 2 The East the Califo Septembe understan and have (IRWMP) If you hav the follo www.east IRWM Pr hand-deliv Ji C 10 P M For consi BE subm Form Inst Projects s Design C or close t studies, b most plan are projec implemen Projects, b and RTP inclusion For Conc For Prelim required, Important  T S ti  P ap Ea Stanislaus In ornia Depart er 1, 2011.

It will take approximately 54 acres of turf area off of the potable system and instead irrigate the turf areas with water that is currently non‐compliant for drinking water. It will supply about 1,500 gallons per minute to these turf areas and reduce the potable water demand by the same amount. This will alleviate the need to treat water from the two wells to drinking water standards. In addition to the treatment avoidance savings, which benefits all users of the potable water system, the non‐potable water will be priced at substantially reduced rates, benefiting school district and parks department expenditures, which ultimately saves money for residents. Work is mainly underground distribution piping to turf areas with some modification to existing wells. The project will construct a connection between the City of Ceres water system and the Monterey Park Tract water system. The project will provide a source of safe source of drinking water for the residents of Monterey Park Tract. This project consists of a new 29 mgd water treatment plant and transmission mains that would treat surface water supplied from the TID via the Tuolumne River to the proposed treatment plant site near Fox Grove. An Infiltration Gallery in the Tuolumne River has already been constructed by the TID. A pump station would be constructed to convey water from the infiltration gallery to the proposed treatment plant and treated water would be conveyed via transmission mains to the City's of Modesto, Ceres and Turlock, providing a conjunctive use strategy and reducing reliance on groundwater sources. The project is proposing an intertie transmission pipe between the existing MID transmission main, located north of Greer Road, to the proposed SRWA facilities to strengthen reliability for water customers through an ability to convey treated water from one water system to the other in the instance that either the MID or SRWA treatment plants are off line for any reason.

The current water supplied by the Monterey Park Tract CSD exceeds the maximum contaminant levels(MCL) for nitrates and arsenic, and the secondary MCLs for manganese and total dissolved solids. The project will result in a source of water, for the Monterey Park Tract water system, that meets MCL standards. Project would provide a higher quality and more reliable water source in addition to practicing conjunctive water use strategies by utilizing a secondary water source to groundwater supply which, diversifies urban water supplies. Water Supply Benefits The project will provide a dependable supply of potable water for Monterey Park Tract residents. Use of new water supply from TID reduces the amount of groundwater extraction by urban users, thus preserving this resource for other users of the aquifer as well as providing some drought contingency through passive groundwater banking. Page 4 of 54 ---PAGE BREAK--- Project Summary Project Information proj_id 1305 1310 1312 Water Quality Benefits Frees up capital funding for treatment of constituents in other City water wells. Hughson is currently under a Cease and Desist Order from the State to stop supplying water with high arsenic levels. Surface water supplies are generally of better quality than groundwater sources and with treatment of the TID water sources a more reliable quality of water can be obtained for urban users than is available from groundwater sources. Environmental Benefits The project would allow the TID to pursue it's desire to convey up to 100 cfs of surface water down the Tuolumne River thus providing benefits to river fisheries and other uses upstream of the existing Infiltration Gallery near Fox Grove.

The project will reduce stormwater flows to the wastewater treatment plant, the number of Sanitary Sewer Overflows, and improve water quality for Dry Creek, and the Lower Tuolumne River (303d water bodies). Located in the fully developed northwest portion of Modesto which has no positive storm drainage system, the project is a cost effective and LID Alternative to constructing detention basins in undeveloped portions of the city and constructing miles of storm drains. Twenty failed dry wells and three sanitary sewer cross connections will be removed. A centralized water quality device will be used to treat stormwater prior to infiltration in a 6.8 acre foot underground retention system. The project renovates the highly utilized park with a new baseball field, multipurpose field, basketball court, and site furnishings. Construction of a 1,200 gallon per minute municipal water well, including all necessary appurtenances such as pumping, piping, and emergency power. This well is intended to be used in conjunction with a major municipal water blending facility. Construct Low Impact Development storm water facility on existing street with inadequate drainage facilities and no outlet to detention/retention basin. Project will avoid the need for a basin, thereby avoiding conversion of farmland for that purpose. 100 37.665707 37.587745 37.594172 ‐121.023363 ‐120.867763 ‐120.860939 polygon_drawn_1337798884563.kml polygon_drawn_1338917674223.kml polygon_drawn_1337814282896.kml  Page 10 of 54 ---PAGE BREAK--- Project Summary Project Information proj_id Develop outlines of regional projects and plans necessary to protect infrastructure Work with stakeholders to preserve existing flood attenuation by implementing land management strategies throughout the watershed Develop approaches for adaptive management that minimizes maintenance requirements Provide community benefits beyond flood protection Protect/ restore/ and enhance the natural ecological and hydrologic functions Water Quality Objectives Meet or exceed all applicable water quality regulatory standards Deliver agricultural water to meet water quality guidelines established by stakeholders Aid in meeting Total Max Daily Loads established for the Tuolumne River watershed Protect surface waters and groundwater basins from contamination and threat of contamination Manage existing land uses while preserving or enhancing environmental habitats Minimize impacts from storm water Promote projects to reduce the quantity and improve the quality of urban and agricultural runoff Promote and support regional monitoring to further understanding of water quality issues Environmental Protection and Enhanc Incorporate opportunities to assess/ protect/ enhance/ and/or restore natural resources Minimize adverse effects on biological and cultural resources Identify opportunities for open spaces/ trails and parks along recreational projects Contribute to the long‐term sustainability of land uses and activities within the basin 1325 1328 1331      Page 11 of 54 ---PAGE BREAK--- Project Summary Project Information proj_id Identify opportunities to protect/ enhance/ or restore habitat to the support all watersheds Support projects to understand/ protect/ improve and restore the region’s ecological resources Regional Communication and Coopera Identify and incorporate (where possible and reasonable) opportunities to assess, protect, enhance, and/or restore natural resources when developing water management strategies.

Although the City of Hughson has recently dropped out of the regional project for financial reasons, treated surface water will still be available to the city on a purchase basis. The Surface Water Plant will be delivering water to the Cities of Ceres and Modesto at high pressures of about 90 psi, thereby eliminating the need for a booster pump to tie into the city's water delivery system. A 24 inch casing was installed with the Euclid Bridge construction project over the Turlock Irrigation District canal, enabling a 14 inch diameter pipe to be installed through the existing casing to connect to the city distribution system. Project includes site acquisition, flow control and pressure reducing valves, valve vault structures and appurtenances, chlorine residual monitoring station, metering station, power supply, & control/SCADA system. Construction of arsenic treatment facilities, water transmission and distribution lines and modifications to existing water supply wells.

As part of this project, potential recharge locations will be mapped and opportunities for recharging the groundwater subbasins and/or improving water quality with stormwater runoff management will be identified, thereby providing both stormwater management and water supply benefits. This project will contribute to the region description and aid in the identification of opportunities to develop projects and programs to meet several regional goals (water supply, water quality and flood protection). The purpose of this project is to remove Dennett Dam, an abandoned low‐head dam on the Tuolumne River just west of the 9th Street Bridge in downtown Modesto. Removing the dam will provide unimpeded access to 28 miles of spawning habitat for anadromous fish, including steelhead, chinook salmon, green sturgeon, and white sturgeon. Additionally, removing the dam will remove a significant safety hazard in the river and will provide improved recreational boating within the river along the Tuolumne River Regional Park. Tasks include mobilizing equipment and machinery, constructing a temporary cofferdam and re‐routing river flow, demolishing the dam and removing debris, removing the cofferdam, and site restoration. This is a project to undertake floodplain and riparian habitat restoration at the 1600 acre Dos Rios Ranch. The Dos Rios Ranch is located at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Tuolumne Rivers and occupies 3 miles of river frontage on each river, for a total of 6 miles of river frontage. Through this project, we will improve channel‐floodplain connectivity, improve transient floodwater storage, and restore riparian habitat. The project will build on another large flood management project at the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge and will provide up to 10,000 ac‐ft of transient flood water storage. The project will improve habitat for a number of sensitive species, including the riparian brush rabbit, riparian woodrat, least Bell's vireo, steelhead trout, and chinook salmon and will directly contribute to the recovery of these species. We will also provide public recreation opportunities at the site, including hiking, fishing, boating, and other similar activities. 100 50 90 37.629573 37.627373 37.600882 ‐120.873962 ‐120.987915 ‐121.160851 polygon_drawn_1338850306082.kml polygon_drawn_1339191644176.kml   Page 46 of 54 ---PAGE BREAK--- Project Summary Project Information proj_id Develop outlines of regional projects and plans necessary to protect infrastructure Work with stakeholders to preserve existing flood attenuation by implementing land management strategies throughout the watershed Develop approaches for adaptive management that minimizes maintenance requirements Provide community benefits beyond flood protection Protect/ restore/ and enhance the natural ecological and hydrologic functions Water Quality Objectives Meet or exceed all applicable water quality regulatory standards Deliver agricultural water to meet water quality guidelines established by stakeholders Aid in meeting Total Max Daily Loads established for the Tuolumne River watershed Protect surface waters and groundwater basins from contamination and threat of contamination Manage existing land uses while preserving or enhancing environmental habitats Minimize impacts from storm water Promote projects to reduce the quantity and improve the quality of urban and agricultural runoff Promote and support regional monitoring to further understanding of water quality issues Environmental Protection and Enhanc Incorporate opportunities to assess/ protect/ enhance/ and/or restore natural resources Minimize adverse effects on biological and cultural resources Identify opportunities for open spaces/ trails and parks along recreational projects Contribute to the long‐term sustainability of land uses and activities within the basin 1350 1351 1359          Page 47 of 54 ---PAGE BREAK--- Project Summary Project Information proj_id Identify opportunities to protect/ enhance/ or restore habitat to the support all watersheds Support projects to understand/ protect/ improve and restore the region’s ecological resources Regional Communication and Coopera Identify and incorporate (where possible and reasonable) opportunities to assess, protect, enhance, and/or restore natural resources when developing water management strategies.

The project will act as a buffer between sensitive river habitat and adjacent farmland by absorbing any agricultural runoff before it enters the river systems and filtering out pollutants in a serious of ponds, wetlands, and sloughs. This project will identify ways to utilize stormwater runoff as a local water resource, including the use of stormwater runoff to augment environmental water needs. This project will evaluate ways to utilize stormwater runoff as a local water resource. This will be done in the context of preventing or minimizing flooding impacts from stormwater runoff. The project will also serve as a model non‐structural flood management project by providing transitory floodwater storage for up to 10,000 ac‐ft of floodwaters and reducing peak flows to places as far as Lathrop and Stockton. The project will contribute to the goals of the FloodSafe California program, and will build on the non‐structural flood control project being developed at the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge. Improve public safety and recreation opportunities by removing a significant hazard on the Tuolumne River. The dam has caused several drownings over the past several years. The project will provide public access and recreation to both the San Joaquin and Tuolumne Rivers for hiking, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, and other similar activities. Additionally, many of the restoration activities will be accomplished through volunteer community restoration days, where people will have the opportunity to plant trees and undertake other related work. Finally, the site will be heavily used as an "outdoor classroom" for the Tuolumne River Trust's Trekking the Tuolumne education program for 4th and 5th graders. Trekking the Tuolumne is an award‐winning State standards‐ based environmental education program.
