The structure and decision -making process for the Board is 37 described below. 38 1. All members of the Board and their staff may speak during agenda matters being discussed by 39 the Board representatives. Individuals other than Board members attending a meeting of the Board may Page 3 of 19 1 participate in agenda discussions only if the Board determines the matter is open to direct participation 2 by others. 3 2.

Each participant on the Board understands that this collaborative effort is not intended to 12 diminish, expand or define the rights of any participant. 13 2. The relationship between federal, tribal, and state resource managers is complex. So too is the 14 relationship between Indian treaty rights and the state and federal laws designed to protect and 15 recover salmon. The exact parameters of these relationships have not been clearly defined in all 16 instances. Notwithstanding these areas of uncertainty, participating tribes, the state, the federal 17 agencies, and local governments in WRIA 1 are committed to working together to protect and 18 restore ecosystem functions supporting sustainably harvestable salmon runs and clean water 19 sufficient for the salmon shellfish, and community needs. 20 3. All parties reserve the right to seek different or additional measures viewed as necessary to carry 21 out treaty rights and/or ensure compliance with other local, state, or federal laws. 22 4. Support a way of life in Whatcom County that meets the vision of residents and their leaders. 23 Budgetary and Financial Authority.

All actions of the Board are to be implemented through 25 the individual parties to this agreement under the direction of the Board or, as authorized, the 26 Management Team. The Board may designate a party to this agreement to act on its behalf as a fiscal 27 agent for the management and execution of grants, receipt of which by the fiscal agent is approved by 28 the Board. A fiscal agent shall carry out administrative and fiscal duties authorized by the Board or a 29 designated group of key staff. Parties implementing grants on behalf of the Board shall be responsible for 30 reporting the outcomes of such grants to the Board. 31 Meetings and Record Keeping.

Each party to this agreement is responsible for maintaining records for its own Page 4 of 19 1 representatives on the Board in accordance with applicable records retention requirements for that party, 2 and is responsible for responding to any requests to that party for inspection or copying of public records 3 relating to the Board, pursuant to the Public Records Act, 42.56 RCW, if applicable. Any party or Board 4 member that receives a request for public records directed to the Board will immediately forward said 5 request to the party designated by the Board as the fiscal agent, or to such other party as the Board shall 6 designate to coordinate the Board's responses to public records requests directed to the Board. The 7 parties will cooperate in good faith to comply with the Public Records Act, as applicable. 8 Term. This agreement shall commence on the date of the last signature below and shall continue 9 indefinitely until cancelled by agreement of the two caucuses or due to a majority of a caucus 10 membership terminating participation described below. 11 Termination. A party may terminate its participation in and under this agreement thirty days after 12 providing written notice to the other parties of its intent to do so, subject to satisfaction of all obligations 13 incurred by the party prior to termination. 14 The Lead Entity and its authority described herein shall survive termination of participation by any 15 party to this agreement. However, should a majority of the herein -named members of either the Fishery 16 Co -Manager Caucus or the Local Government Caucus terminate participation, then this agreement shall 17 become null and void as to each remaining party upon satisfaction of all obligations of each individual 18 party incurred prior to termination. 19 Relationship of the Parties.

No agent, employee, or representative 21 of any party shall be deemed to be an agent, employee, or representative of any other party for any 22 purpose.

Under its 2016 Interlocal Agreementz, the three 5 primary program functions of the WRIA 1 Board include: 6 1. facilitate implementation and adaptive management of the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Plan- 7 Phase 1 as currently constituted or subsequently amended; 8 2. Coordinate implementation and adaptive management of the WRIA 1 Salmonid Recovery Plan and 9 associated implementation document, serve as the Lead Entity for salmon recovery in WRIA 1, 10 coordinate participation in Puget Sound salmon recovery efforts, and coordinate development, 11 implementation, and adaptive management of WRIA 1 watershed chapters of recovery plans for 12 ESA listed salmonids and other salmonid species as warranted; and 13 3. Coordinate planning, implementation, monitoring and adaptive management of ecosystem 14 recovery actions in WRIA 1 and serve as the Whatcom Local Integrating Organization. 15 The proposed multi -year plan spans a five-year timeframe and integrates actions from the existing WRIA 1 16 programs described below and, consistent with the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board December 17 2016 Interlocal Agreement, begins to integrate other natural resource management efforts that are 18 inextricably linked. 19 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Project 20 The WRIA 1 Watershed Management Project foundation is the 2005 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Plan 21 (WRIA 1 WMP). The WRIA 1 WMP includes the WRIA 1 Instream Flow Selection and Adoption Action Plan 22 (ISF Action Plan) and the over -arching WRIA 1 Long Term Monitoring Plan. Also associated with the WRIA 1 23 WMP are the WRIA 1 Detailed Implementation Plan and the Lower Nooksack Strategy, which is a subset of 24 implementation actions in the WRIA 1 WMP and Detailed Implementation Plan. The WRIA 1 Watershed 25 Management Project studies and documents are found at the project website, which is 26 wrialproiect.whatcomcounty.org/. 27 WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Program 28 The WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Program includes the 2005 WRIA 1 Salmonid Recovery Plan and associated 29 implementation documents (restoration strategy, SRFB/PSAR restoration priorities, 4-year work plan, 30 Nooksack Chinook monitoring and adaptive management framework). The WRIA 1 Salmonid Recovery Plan 31 identifies recovery goals for North/Middle Fork Nooksack early Chinook and South Fork Nooksack early 32 Chinook, both independent populations essential for recovery of the Endangered Species Act -listed Puget 33 Sound Chinook, limiting factors, and management actions; the WRIA 1 Salmonid Recovery Plan serves as 34 the Nooksack chapter of the Puget Sound Chinook Recovery Plan. Additional functions of the WRIA 1 35 Salmon Recovery Program include coordinating the local element of the annual salmon recovery funding 36 grant process and submitting an approved project list for state Salmon Recovery Funding Board 1 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board name was established with the execution of the December 2016 Interlocal Agreement that consolidated the WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Board and WRIA 1 Watershed Joint Board and their associated programs, roles and responsibilities under a single Interlocal Agreement. zwrial project. whatcomcounty. org/uploads/PDF/Guiding%20Documents%20ond%20PIons/WRIA%201 %20Watershed%20Management %20Board%201LA%20-%20FINAL%20with%20signatures.pdf Page 2 of 16 August 1, 2018 37 consideration, updating annual habitat restoration strategy documents, and coordinating implementation 38 of key actions in the WRIA 1 Salmonid Recovery Plan. The WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Program plans and 39 background information are found at the project website, which is salmonwrial.or 40 Whatcom Local Integrating Organization 41 The WRIA 1 Board serves as the Whatcom Local Integrating Organization (LIO), which is one of nine LIOs 42 recognized by the Puget Sound Partnership. The purpose of the Whatcom LIO is to coordinate local 43 recovery actions that will support Puget Sound recovery, maintain a point of contact for Puget Sound 44 Action Agenda implementation, and provide local feedback to Puget Sound recovery strategies. A 45 Whatcom LIO Ecosystem Recovery Plan was drafted under the framework provided by the Puget Sound 46 Partnership. The LIO plan builds from and integrates existing local plans and programs. The June 30, 2017, 47 Draft Whatcom LIO Ecosystem Recovery Plana will be adaptively managed and updated to reflect the WRIA 48 1 Watershed Management Board Five -Year Work Plan. Information related to the Whatcom Local 49 Integrating Organization is found at WRIAlprooect.whatcomcountV.org/Get i.,.,,,i.,,,,riWhate,,ng I,,,.-,l 50 IRteRFatoRg QFRa„0Zatffie„T, ,�1o9-esP_. 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 Relationship of WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board 2018-2023 Work Plan to Other Programs The WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board multi -year plan includes eight strategies that represent a subset of actions from existing WRIA 1 programs and plans ;;Ad a eis also consistent with the WRIA 1 Board's purpose, outlined in the 2016 Interlocal Agreement, to coordinate with and integrate other natural resource management actions implemented through ether -complementary programs (Figure 1). Complementary programs include but are not limited to efforts such as the Whatcom Clean Water Program, the Whatcom County River and Flood Division floodplain integrated planning, and the Watershed Improvement District's planning. The complementary efforts are related to the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board's Work Plan because they play an important role in Whatcom LIO ecosystem recovery planning and Puget Sound recovery to address identified vital signs4 and they are associated with addressing elements of the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Plan and WRIA 1 Salmonid Recovery Plan including: • Water aualitv including both fresh water and marine water: • Water quantity including for instream resources and out of stream resources; • Floodplains; • Shellfish; • Chinook (and other salmon): and • Habitat. 69 As shown in Figure 1, the Coordination and Implementation Strategy is the overall coordination under the 70 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board. The coordination task outlined in Strategy 1 supports the 71 coordination tasks identified in Strategies 2-8 and provides the linkage to complementary programs and 72 actions. 73 3 The Draft Whatcom LIO Plan was prepared in accordance with planning grants to local integrating organizations around Puget Sound to develop local ecosystem recovery plans that will support Puget Sound recovery. It conforms to the framework developed to meet the interests of the Puget Sound Partnership 4 Human components identified include viable agriculture, fisheries and forestry economies, public safety, recreation, cultural well- being, recreation, and employment.

Strategies 2-6 are implementation 77 actions associated with the planning documents identified in the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board's 78 functions outlined in the 2016 Interlocal Agreement and lead to adaptive management of those plans. 79 Many of the tasks in Strategies 2-6 are interdependent and linked. This is the area of the multi -year work 80 plan that is likely to see the most adjustments on an annual basis. Strategy 7, Integrated Monitoring and 81 Central Data Management, supports and informs the implementation actions (Strategies 2-6). Outcomes 82 from Strategies 1-7 including continued interaction with complementary programs inform adaptive 83 management of the Whatcom LIO Ecosystem Recovery Plan and future local actions that achieve Puget 84 Sound recovery for consideration in the next Puget Sound Action Agenda update (Strategy 8). 85 Page 4 of 16 August 1, 2018 Figure 1. 2018-2023 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board Work Plan Strategies and Relationship to Complementary Programs, Actions, and Plans RIA 1 Watershed Management Board Primary Functions' - Salmon Recovery Plan 'A-a-ershed Management Plan Ecosystem Recovery WorkPbn Im&rrrentertionunder WRIA1;nterfoccrfAgreemerrtFrerrrrework Strategy#1 Coordination and Administration Strategy#2 Strategy#3 Strategy#4 Strategy#5 Strategy#5 Groundwater Regional Water Drainage Based Salmon Recovery Watershed PlaD Model Supply Plan Management Plan Plan Actions Actions Strategy#7 Monitoring/Data Management ' Strategy#8 Ecosystem Recovery Plan Updates 'The primaryfunc[ians-of the WRiA1WatershedManagerri�m6cardarsedescribedinMeDecember2016in€ertccaiAgreement c CL c 0 4 E UD 0 CL C ai E CL E 0 V Page 5 of 16 August 1, 2018 87 WRIA 1 2018-2023 Work Plan and Funding Strategy Format 88 The 2018-2023 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board's multi -year plan is intended as a five-year 89 integrated strategy for implementing and sequencing actions that address water quality, water quantity, 90 floodplains, salmon recovery, and stormwater. It is anticipated that the actions implemented in the 2018- 91 2023 plan will also support negotiation of water rights among the affected parties. 92 While the 2018-2023 Plan identifies "administrative leads" for individual strategies, the intent is to 93 implement the strategies within the overall structure and decision -making process of the WRIA 1 94 Watershed Management Board and 2016 Interlocal Agreement (Figure 2). 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 The level of detail is greatest for the first two years of the work plan and will continue to be developed for each strategy as part of implementing the strategy. Plan status will be reviewed annually, and updated as needed. The annual review will include considering whether the intent of addressing water quality, stormwater and stream flows as part of broader strategies is occurring or whether the work plan should include stand-alone strategies for one or all of those elements. Following is a description of the plan sections: Section l: Narrative 102 The first section of the work plan is a narrative that provides a description of each strategy. Under each 103 1 strategy is a list of the general tasks, anticipated milestones, and e4-planning-level budgets. Many 104 of the tasks listed under a strategy are interdependent with or support tasks in other strategies. These 105 dependencies are referenced in the narrative and are shown on the timeline that is in Section II of the work 106 plan. 107 Section ll: Timeline 108 Section II is an overall timeline for the full five-year work plan and funding strategy. The timeline shows the 109 administrative lead for the listed strategy, scheduled tasks and where there are tasks that are dependent 110 on or supporting other tasks. As with the overall 2018-2023 Plan, the level of detail in the timeline is 111 greatest for the first two years and will continue to be developed as the administrative lead for each 112 strategy initiates implementation. The timeline will be reviewed annually and adjusted as needed. 113 Section 111: Technical Appendices 114 The technical appendices will include the highest level work plans available for actions that are 115 implemented under the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board's 2018-2023 Work Plan and Funding 116 1 Strategy. Not all strategies have higher level work plans associated with them, and therefore are not 117 represented in the technical appendices. 118 Management 119 The WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board intends to coordinate the work plan as it is adopted by the 120 Members, and will support efforts to obtain funding. The WRIA 1 Management Team will administer the 121 work on behalf of the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board as described in Strategy 1 WRIA 1 Watershed 122 Management Board Work Plan Implementation and Administration. Administrative leads are identified for 123 each of the strategies to oversee implementation and individual entities or consultants may be contracted 124 with to implement tasks within strategies. Individual tasks/strategies may be implemented by individual 125 1 member entities. Page 6 of 16 August 1, 2018 126 Figure 2.

Page 8 of 16 August 1, 2018 170 SECTION I - NARRATIVE 171 Strategies. Tasks. and 2018-202014 Budget Estimates (Years 1-2 172 The eight Strategies listed below are intended to be implemented simultaneously under the framework of the 173 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board. The Strategies are inextricably linked, and, in many cases, tasks 174 between Strategies are interdependent. While there is not a stand-alone strategy for instream flow 175 negotiations, implementing the Strategies and tasks as outlined in this document will support resolution of 176 instream flows, habitat, and water quality issues in an integrated manner that will lead to and could support 177 negotiated water right agreements among the affected parties and Lummi Nation and Nooksack Indian Tribes. 178 The approach for implementing each of the Strategies includes administrative leads that are responsible for 179 overseeing the implementation of tasks including developing scopes of work as needed, coordinating with 180 task leads, incorporating input from Planning Unit, advisory committees and/or public where and when 181 1 applicable, and reporting back to the WRIA 1 Management Team and WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board. 182 Strategy 1: WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board Work Plan Implementation and Administration 183 Description: Administer and implement Strategies 2-7 under the framework of the WRIA 1 Watershed 184 Management Board. 185 Total Strategy 1 Estimated Budget through 2020: $136,000 186 Task 1: Manage and oversee the 2018-2023 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board Work Plan. Each of 187 the Strategies includes an administrative lead that is responsible for overseeing and managing the 188 implementation of the strategy, which includes identifying and/or contracting with task leads as 189 appropriate. Task 1 of this Strategy is to provide overall administration of the WRIA 1 Watershed 190 Management Board and its work plan under a single administrator as approved by the WRIA 1 191 Watershed Management Board. Initially the administrator is anticipated to be existing staff of a 192 Board entity but will be discussed and considered as part of the annual work plan and budget 193 review. The administration includes but is not limited to: 194 • Identifying and addressing barriers to implementation as they arise and, as needed, frame and 195 schedule for discussion, resolution, and/or direction to the WRIA 1 Management Team and 196 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board. 197 • Providing annual review of the Work Plan and presenting its status to the WRIA 1 Management 198 Team and WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board with recommendations for modifications, 199 where applicable or desired. 200 • Supporting WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board function and operation including providing 201 organizational support to the Local Government Caucus, and upon request, the Co -Manager 202 Caucus. 203 I Task 2: Program coordination associated with the WRIA 1 framework including but not limited to 204 providing meeting support to implement Strategies under the 2018-2023 WRIA 1 Watershed 205 Management Board Work Plan.

This includes: 211 • Maintain and update WRIA 1 website 212 • Develop integrated outreach strategy. 213 • Coordinate and collaborate with Whatcom Watersheds Information Network to advance and 214 disseminate WRIA 1 program information as appropriate including participating in planning for 215 speakers, conferences, forums, mailings, and other events. 216 • Coordinating and collaborating with WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board entities, LIO 217 participants, and others as appropriate to support outreach consistent with topics in the WRIA 218 1 Watershed Management Plan, WRIA 1 Salmonid Recovery Plan, and draft Whatcom LIO 219 Ecosystem Recovery Plan. 220 • Implement outreach specific to the Strategies outlined in the 2018-2023 WRIA 1 Watershed 221 Management Board Work Plan to inform the community of program status, obtain feedback 222 and input, and to engage the community in implementation actions. 223 Strategv 2: Ground Water Model(s) and Technical Sunaort. 224 Description: A coupled groundwater/surface water model that primarily covers the LENS study area was 225 initiated as a multi -phase implementation item in 2014 under the former WRIA 1 Watershed Joint Board. 226 The construction of the groundwater model, which is the final phase, will be completed late 2018. The 227 additional needs associated with the groundwater model include receiving and operating the model, 228 which are reflected in the tasks outlined below, and expanding it to other areas of WRIA 1 such as the 229 South Fork Nooksack Watershed where a groundwater model has been proposed by Nooksack Tribe in 230 partnership with USGS. 231 Total Strategy 2 Budget through 2020: $85,000 232 Work Products: Operation of WRIA 1 groundwater model; Options for expanding groundwater model 233 Task 1: Coordinate technical review of groundwater model within the WRIA 1 framework and identify 234 additional groundwater monitoring needs for long term model resolution, if any. 235 Timeline: December 2018-January 2019 236 Task 2: Identify options and select preferred option for managing the coupled surface/groundwater 237 model including operation of the model and updating data sets as information becomes available 238 that will result in an increase in the resolution of the model output, and after identifying how the 239 model will be used and key management questions for operating the model. 240 Timeline: August 2018-December 2018 241 Task 3: Identify needs and long term funding for managing the coupled surface/groundwater model. 242 Costs should include but is not limited to staffing, updating data as needed, making information 243 available to the public and other entities, and calibrating the model when appropriate. 244 Timeline: August 2018-January 2019 Page 10 of 16 August 1, 2018 245 Task 4: Implement recommendation for managing the coupled model. This task is dependent on Tasks 2 246 and 3 of this Strategy. 247 Timeline: Initiate implementation February 2019 248 Task 5: Expand groundwater modeling to other areas of WRIA 1 starting with the South Fork Nooksack 249 Watershed model proposed by Nooksack Tribe in partnership with USGS. 250 Timeline: 2019-2022 251 Strategy 3: Regional (WRIA-Wide) Water Supply Plan 252 Description: This Strategy was originally identified in the 2010 Lower Nooksack Strategy but not 253 implemented due to lack of funding support. Nonetheless, there remains a need for a WRIA 1-wide water 254 supply plan that establishes a framework to address water supply needs beyond the WADOH regulatory 255 framework of the Whatcom County Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP) and that is consistent with 256 the geographic extent of proposed approaches to settle water rights. Under this Strategy, the regional 257 water supply plan will integrate the 2017 updated CWSP with other out -of -stream and instream water 258 needs, in context with land use, economic viability, and ecosystem recovery. 259 Total Strategy 3 Budget through 2020: $225,000 260 Work Product: Regional Water Supply Plan 261 Task 1: Coordinate with technical work groups—a+dt staff teams, and Planning Unit for drafting and 262 providing feedback and review of water supply plan components. Review of plan components will 263 be coordinated through the WRIA 1 framework. 264 Timeline: 2018-2020 265 Task 2: Consolidate and quantify water availability, water use, and water supply needs for out of 266 stream needs (current and projected) including evaluating water right data base for opportunities. 267 This task is anticipated to focus initially in pilot areas for Strategy 4 (Drainage Based Management 268 Planning). 269 Timeline: 270 Task 3: Compile existing information on instream water needs and identify monitoring priorities to 271 incorporate in Strategy 7. This task is anticipated to initially focus in pilot areas for Strategy 4 272 (Drainage Based Management Planning). 273 Timeline: 274 Task 4: Identify and support water supply and management research, facilitate data collection, and 275 close data gaps. This includes identifying priority needs for monitoring effectiveness of water 276 supply management approaches and solutions. This task will be done in conjunction with 277 Strategies 7 and 4, and related information from the ESSB 6091 update (Strategy 6), as applicable. 278 Timeline: December 2018 279 Task 5: Identify, evaluate, and support solutions for meeting water supply needs. This will be a 280 collaborative and coordinated approach with other efforts evaluating solutions in/for related 281 plans and studies (e.g., Drought Plan, grants addressing water supply, etc.), and in conjunction 282 with Strategies 4 and 6 Drainage Based Management Planning and WRIA 1 Watershed Page 11 of 16 August 1, 2018 283 Management Plan (ESSB 6091 update), respectively. Gaps in solutions will be identified, where 284 applicable. 285 Timeline: 286 Task 6: Provide water supply information for connecting water availability to land use and habitat. The 287 outcomes of Tasks 2-5 will be used to improve connections between where water is available and 288 existing land use. Information will be coordinated with Strategies 4 through 6, and will be used to 289 integrate water supply needs into other planning efforts (e.g., Comprehensive Plans, Integrated 290 Floodplain Planning, and other watershed -scale plans). 291 Timeline: 292 Task 7: Draft and Final WRIA 1 Water Supply Plan that consolidates information from Tasks 2-6 into a 293 WRIA 1 Water Supply Plan that includes instream and out of stream water needs and identifies 294 ranges of solutions. Review and feedback on the draft plan will be coordinated with technical 295 staff, work groups, WRIA 1 Planning Unit, WRIA 1 Management Team, and other interested 296 parties prior to a final plan. Partnerships with WWIN, WSU, WCD and others will be used for 297 sharing information and to support outreach related to water supply planning. 298 Timeline: 299 Strategy 4: Drainage Based Management Planning 300 Description: Drainage -based management planning (DBMP) is a recommendation in the WRIA 1 301 Watershed Management Plan. The concept is a planning approach scaled to the drainage level and that 302 will consider five elements — water quality, water supply, instream flow, fish habitat, and accountability. 303 Under this approach, targets for each of the elements will be developed and agreed to among the affected 304 parties. A pilot area will be identified for implementing the DBMP approach. Based on effectiveness of 305 the approach in the pilot area, additional sub -basins will be identified to continue the DBMP. This 306 Strategy is inextricably linked to all of the Strategies in this 2018-2023 work plan and is expected to 307 involve identifying and coordinating with a sub -lead for each sub -basin. The approach is similar to an 308 approach introduced and presented to stakeholders by Lummi Nation and is envisioned as a mechanism 309 to help facilitate the resolution of state and federal/tribal water rights in WRIA 1 . 310 Total Strategy 4 Budget through 2020: $112,500 311 Work Products: Data synthesis and analysis technical memo; subbasin goals for water supply, water 312 quality, instream flows, and habitat; Implementation Plan and Agreements for Drainage -Scale 313 Water Management 314 Task 1: Select pilot sub -basin and establish planning team for drainage -based management planning in 315 coordination with technical staff, Planning Unit, and other affected parties.

Strategy 1 Work Plan Implementation and Administration Task 1 WCPW Natural Resource Manager is assumed to continue as contact for the overall management of the WRIA 1 Board framework for the first two years and revisited as the work plan is updated annually Task 2 Coordination budget line item for meeting coordination includes the regular annually scheduled meetings for the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board, the WRIA 1 Management Team, and a limited number joint Staff Team meetings. Regular technical salmon staff meetings are covered under Strategy 5. Watershed Staff Team meetings outside of the joint staff meetings are not covered. Task 2 Coordination budget line also includes required LIO grant elements to respond to public, post meeting notices, etc (generally maintain communications) Task 3 WRIA 1 Program Information and Outreach is currently leveraged by participating in some of the efforts organized through the Whatcom Watersheds Information Network, which includes involvement of several WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board entity outreach staff, (e.g., local symposiums, forums, speaking events). Under the 2018-2022 Action Agenda process, a near -term action (NTA) was submitted to support and broaden WRIA 1 information and outreach; the budget estimates reflect the NTA submitted. Strategy 2 Ground Water Model(s) and Technical Support Task 1 budget estimate of $30,000 provided by WCPW for October 2018-March 2019. Funds for contracting technical experts for review of both the conceptual site model and groundwater/surface water model and consultant team to support third party review efforts. For spreadsheet purposes, $15k was added to year 1 and $15K to year 2. Task 2 WCPW using existing capacity to complete Sept. 2018-March 2019 Task 3 budget estimate of $100,000 for Oct. 2018-Dec. 2022 provided by WCPW for the full five year period; for spreadsheet purposes, it was distributed equally over the timeframe identified. Estimate includes fees for purchasing the software needed to run the model, consultant support with model simulations as we get up -to -speed with the operation of the model as applied to specific scenarios, and periodic model updates as significant data come available that warrant an update to the conceptual site model and/or model calibration. Task 4 existing WCPW capacity January 2019-Dec. 2022 Task 5 $300,000 budget estimate provided by WCPW forJuly 2020-Dec. 2022; for spreadsheet purposes, it was distributed equally over the timeframe identified. Strategy 3 Regional (WRIA 1) Water Supply Plan Budget estimates for Tasks 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 provided by PUD No. 1. Budget estimate for Task 3 provided by Nooksack Tribe Natural Resources Dept.as an estimate for Tribal technical staff to support the compilation of data for instream needs. Budget estimate for Task 4 to be determined. Initial work of identifying monitoring needs, however, anticipated to be coordinated with Strategy 7. Tasks 4 and 6 are unfunded. However, due to their direct link to tasks in other Strategies they are shown in the timeline as advancing (green bar) because the tasks they are linked to are funded or partially funded. While the tasks will advance due to their linkage to other strategies, there may still be funding needs associated with fully implementing the task. A 2018 Near Term Action (NTA) was submitted to implement this strategy. Strategy 4 Drainage -Based Management Planning Overall budget estimate is based on an estimate the Ag Water Board had developed in 2017 for Drainage Based Management Planning. The total cost was equally distributed across the four year timeframe. Task 2 budget estimate provided by Nooksack Tribe Natural Resources Dept as an estimate for Tribal technical staff to support the data synthesis and analysis task. The cost estimate for Task 2 is likely only a partial estimate of the total cost for this task. It is anticipated that identifying the pilot subbasin(s) and identifying the planning team can advance under Strategy 1. Additional funding would be needed to support the subbasin planning team once formed. A 2018 Near Term Action (NTA) was submitted to implement this strategy. WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board 08101118 approved Strategy 5 Salmon Recovery Plan Implementation Co -Managers listed as administrative lead because the Lummi Nation has been fiscal agent for the salmon coordinating grant acting on behalf of the WRIA 1 Lead Entity, which is the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board (previously the WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Board) and because the co -manager technical staff provide significant technical support to the tasks identified. Four 2018 Near Term Actions (NTAs) were submitted to implement this strategy including: Chinook Life Cycle Model, Habitat Viability Assessment and Effectiveness Monitoring, Salmonid Recovery Chapter Update, and WRIA 1 Culvert Strategic Assessment and Correction. Costs associated with recovery projects and actions such as instream restoration projects, habitat protection, and hatchery management are not included in the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board work plan. Estimated budgets are for planning purposes and for years three through five are place holders. The PSAR grant "potential" refers to funding allocated to the salmon lead entity to advance projects. The scope of, and for, technical work that can be advanced with those funds has only had preliminary consideration by salmon technical staff; the budget is a placeholder for planning purposes and a technical scope of work would be developed. Strategy 6 WRIA 1 Watershed Management Plan Update Task 1 budget includes $50,000 WCPW supplemental budget for work under ESSB 6091 and $138,000 from Dept. of Ecology for the technical consultant. Years 2-5 have a placeholder budget because it is expected that the Watershed Management Plan (WMP) update prepared for ESSB 6091 will include an adaptive management loop for reviewing, evaluating, and, if applicable, adjusting projections and/or solutions, and that the adaptive management will involve a process similar to that used for the WMP update. Strategy 7 Integrated Monitoring Program and Data Management Tasks 1-3 include coordination tasks to identify monitoring priorities and objectives and update the WRIA 1 Long Term Monitoring Plan to reflect the integrroted monitoring needs. Task 3 includes implementing a preferred option and the costs associated with that are placeholder estimates. Identifying the full cost will be part of the process of identifying options and a preferred option for managing the data. Task 4 identifies elements of the integrated monitoring. In some cases, such as the USGS gages and and GW data loggers, the cost estimates are based on the existing costs. The water quality cost estimate is based on previous monitoring costs for a suite of parameters that Nooksock Tribe Natural Resources staff managed on behalf of the WRIA 1 Joint Board. It is not the intent that the water quality monitoring element replaces or duplicates the bacterial monitoring that is being implemented through the Whatcom Clean Water Program; it is seen as being complementary. It is also an opportunity to leverage existing efforts of the Whatcom Clean Water Program monitoring. The Land Cover/Land Development, Habitat and Data Management are all placeholder estimates. Task 6 does not have a cost estimate because it is assumed that entering into agreements for monitoring implementation and/or funding can be done with existing staff. A 2018 Near Term Action (NTA) was submitted to implement this strategy. Not included in the cost estimates specifically, are monitoring needs that may be associated with the ESSB 6091 watershed plan update. It is anticipated that as part of the work plan review for 2019, the monitoring needs associated with the update will be considered. August 1, 2018 SECTION III —TECHNICAL APPENDICES 1.
