Objectives for 3 Stewardship Plans
  • Synthesize Existing and Historic Information
  • Clarify and Identify Watershed Management
    Problems/Issues
  • Improve or Develop Stewardship Opportunities

5

6
Discussion topicsStakeholder Engagement Strategy
  • Management Questions/Issues
  • Existing Conditions (e.g. where are the hardened
    channels?)
  • Issues to be Addressed through the Planning
    Process (e.g., clarify sensitive areas along the
    creeks)
  • Collective Vision for Each Watershed
  • District Staff Document - Board Linkage?
  • WRPC Linkage?
  • Natural Food Protection?
  • Other key stakeholders?

7
Review Stakeholder online Comments on TM3
  • Level 2 needs to include all WMI / SPW
    participants including regulatory agencies.
  • Invitations / mailing list needs updating and
    action.
  • How will meeting outcomes and other stewardship
    elements be measured?
  • Process for submitting Action Items for
    consideration to District Management?

Overall Approach for Synthesizing Existing
Information
  • Coarse Scale
  • Main characteristics of each Watershed organized
    by functional indicator
  • Provide foundation for understanding stewardship
    issues, problems, or opportunities
  • Provide basis for selection of more detailed
    analysis objectives or areas (e.g., watersheds or
    creeks - 3)
  • Finer Scale
  • Field Work (new data) for the areas identified
  • Information for conceptual design solutions

Stewardship Plans Coarse And Fine Scale
Indicators
13
Review Stakeholder Online Comments for TM 4A
(4.2 and 4.3)
  • GIS Coordination and data access?
  • Information and reports identified have been
    distributed to the project team.
  • Use of interviews with District Staff to help
    identify projects needed and wanted by the
    District will help ensure follow through.
  • Fine-scale methods will be explained in greater
    detail in TM4b.
  • Rosgen will be used where possible.

Coarse Scale Analysis
  • Data Compilation
  • WMI Characterization Report
  • WMI Assessment Reports
  • FAHCE Summary Report
  • SCVURPPP Sediment Impairment Report
  • GIS Layers land ownership, zoning, existing and
    historical land use, imperviousness, mining
  • Analysis
  • Longitudinal Profiles 3rd Order streams (e.g.,
    main stem, tributaries)
  • Geomorphic Process Domains Potential Erosion
  • Landslide Susceptibility
  • Identify Data Gaps And Strategize How to Deal
    with These data gaps

17
Rough classification of the mainstem Permanente
Creek slopes
Approach will be adapted to local conditions.
based on Montgomery and Buffington (1997)
18
Permanente Creek erosion hazard
  • Preliminary - methodology being refined.
  • Current map does not include geology, land use,
    or mass wasting
  • Results provide foundation for general
    stewardship planning (e.g., ordinances)

19
Guadalupe Overview
  • Example Template - not first draft
  • Additional historical ecology and background on
    water supply and flood protection objectives to
    define feasible restoration trajectories.
  • Additional value added maps and summary tables
    (e.g., erosion hazard)
  • Need to implement coarse-scale analysis

20
Stakeholder Online Comments on Guadalupe Summary
  • No comments on template format suggests
    miscommunication to stakeholders on purpose of
    document.
  • Several factual corrections and additions to be
    considered in developing draft.
  • Geographical boundaries to be addressed in
    watershed plan (e.g., Alviso Slough)?

21
Proposed Finer Scale Analysis
  • Based on a refined version of model used in
    Coyote Creek (combined HGM/IBI)
  • Fill in the Data Gaps for watershed or creeks
    selected or identified
  • Model provides more detailed functional analysis
    than previously available
  • Model uses existing and newly collected field
    data
  • Develop conceptual design solutions

22
Watershed Summary Tables
  • Define impacts from various projects, activities,
    and policies
  • Define functional areas for analysis
  • Identify key issues and management questions
  • Relates issues and indicators to District Ends
    policies
  • Go to Tables (handouts)
