Project 5 - Inter-Regional Coordination between the Greater Monterey County IRWM Plan and the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel Bay, and South Monterey Bay IRWM Plan

Task D: Inter-Regional Prioritization Processes

The Greater Monterey County IRWM planning region and the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel Bay,

and South Monterey Bay IRWM planning region have a stakeholder process to identify goals, objectives, and priorities within the region and have a process to select and prioritize projects to meet the respective IRWM goals. In order to reduce the potential for projects to be stranded between the two regional plans, a process should be developed to identify and agree on a common set of priorities for the Ord Community and on a process to select projects to meet those priorities.

The following tasks should be carried out in connection with the development of this joint chapter and in parallel with the development and update of each IRWM Plan:

· Describe the formation of a sub-committee comprised of members of the Regional Water Management Group (RWMG) from each region that are familiar with the Ord Community area. The purpose of the sub-committee would be to identify objectives and priorities and solicit projects within the Ord Community.

[Note: this was done in 2013.]

· Identify any stakeholders and issues of concern that have not been represented in one

or the other IRWM Plan. Include an investigation of any environmental justice concerns

associated with the reuse of Fort Ord (note that several areas of Fort Ord have unexploded ordinance, pre-WW II lead paint contamination, and groundwater plumes

of toxic substances).

· If appropriate, hold one or more public workshops to take input on issues and to

comment on priorities and objectives for the Ord Community.

[Note: one meeting was held in 2013. A public hearing will be held in 2014 for the Draft IRWM Plan.]

· Identify the issues, objectives, priorities, and projects for the Ord Community, which lies

astride the common regional boundary. Identify project components that can most appropriately fit one region or the other. Using the respective ranking system and prioritization process from the appropriate region, these components may be prioritized within the respective region.

· Present these results to each RWMG for their consideration.

· Update each IRWM Plan to include the results of this process.

Task D Deliverables: Meeting notes; list of attendees; summary of issues and recommendations;

memo on inter-regional coordination for inclusion in IRWM Plan.
