DISCUSS report on the formation of a Contra Costa County Groundwater Sustainability Agency to undertake sustainable groundwater management in the portion of the Tracy Subbasin within Contra Costa County and CONSIDER recommending the Board conduct a public hearing on April 25, 2017 to consider Contra Costa County's decision to become a Groundwater Sustainability Agency for a portion of the Tracy Subbasin within Contra Costa County excluding the areas of the Cities of Antioch and Brentwood, Byron Bethany Irrigation District, Diablo Water District, Discovery Bay Community Services District and East Contra Costa Irrigation District and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute the Memorandum of Understanding and enter into an agreement with East Contra Costa County member agencies that will develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the portion of the Tracy Subbasin within Contra Costa County.
|
| |
The Committee unanimously approved the staff recommendation.
Discussion included Ryan Hernandez (DCD) providing an overview of the proposed Contra Costa County Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) including the draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between east county entities. Also discussed was the fact that Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) is not becoming a GSA, but is party to the MOU, as shown on Exhibit B in the staff report. Mr. Hernandez responded that there might be groundwater recharge opportunities with CCWD. John Burgh, CCWD also made positive comments about the participation of CCWD. |

ACCEPT report on implementing the new Municipal Regional Permit 2.0, CONSIDER staff's recommendations, PROVIDE direction on which budget to pursue, and FORWARD this report to the full Board for consideration and approval.
|
| |
The Committee received the report and considered the recommendations. The committee indicated that there would not be general fund revenue for the program and that staff would need to determine how to comply with the permit requirements with currently available revenue.
Discussion included Mike Carlson (PWD) and Cece Selgren (PWD) providing an overview of the requirements of the Regional Permit. There were three budget proposals presented, the baseline budget includes current revenue only, the second budget includes a proposed increase from the County General Fund which would fund the program to the level of compliance requiring the removal of all trash from the waterways, and the third budget showed the cost to remove all trash, plus all Mercury and PCB’s, which is a requirement of the permit. The third budget was presented to show the shortfall the program faces. (please see ATTACHMENT) |

No action is necessary; submitted to the TWI Committee for its information. There was not sufficient time between the formulation of the project in early January 2017 to submit the draft proposal to the TWI Committee for its review. Please note that the Coastal Conservancy released the San Francisco Bay Urban Greening Grant Request for Proposals in late December 2016.
|
| |
The Committee directed staff to forward the application for the “North Richmond Watershed Connections Project” (Watershed Connections) grant to the BOS requesting authorization (on consent).
Discussion included Cece Sellgren reporting on the Prop 1 Grant for the North Richmond Watershed Connections Project to State Coastal Conservancy.
Related Discussion: The Committee had concerns and questions regarding the protocol for the submission of grants. TWIC staff will research the original grant review referral and any related policies and bring them to a future TWIC meeting for review.
