SAN JOAQUIN RIVER Dissolved Oxygen Total Maximum Daily Load Stakeholder Process

San Joaquin River Dissolved Oxygen TMDL
Steering Committee Meeting DRAFT Agenda  June 14, 2000
Meeting Location: 2500 Navy Drive, Stockton

Meeting Objectives:
***************
1.      Determine how to develop a "straw man' load allocation and 
decide how it will fit into the overall TMDL and implementation 
planning process.  It would help the Technical Committee to have policy 
direction from the Steering Committee on how to proceed with developing 
a 'straw man" load allocation with the limitations on the information 
that will be available to do this.  Dr. Lee can explain the information 
that is available and what it may mean.  Dr. Lee and Kevin Wolf are 
working on a draft three-year work plan for getting the stakeholders 
from here to a final decision on both the TMDL and Implementation Plan.  
Schedule meetings to update steering committee members on what we know 
about the DO situation given the information available at the current 
time.

2.      319h grant.  The "Developing Stakeholder-based Subwatershed 
Adaptive Management Plans" proposal will not be presented for a 319h 
grant because Regional Board staff do not believe USEPA will find that 
it fits their guidelines.  It is though appropriate for the Steering 
Committee to review the proposal and determine if it supports the 
components. If so, it could begin gaining collaborators among the 
stakeholders so that it can apply for other grants.  Other 319h grants 
that are being developed that could benefit dissolved oxygen 
implementation options will be presented for review.

3.      Update on the Peer Review process and clarification of the role 
of observers at the June 20-21 meeting.

4.      Review of draft Question and Answers brochure from Judith 
Buethe.  What else should be done for Pubic Outreach and Education?5.      
Update on preparation for August 4 RWQCB meeting and six month report.

6.      Update on legislative and other funding opportunities. Should 
Stakeholders write in support of any legislation that would help fund 
our TMDL work?

7.      Determine what to do with funds available from cities that have 
included line items for the stakeholder process in their next fiscal 
year.  Update status on all cities.  Should the executive committee 
develop a multi-year budget for non-science related needs?
