1 SITES Project Overview 2016 J u l y 2 0 D r a f t, p l a n n i n g p h a s e c o n c e p t s July 2016 Page 1

2 Why Sites? If the reservoir operated in 2016: * 1,065, * CA Rice Commission CA Rice Commission J a n u a r y D r ajuly f t, 2016 p l a n n i n g p h a s e c o n c e p t s * T h r o u g h M a y 1 Page 2

3 Why SITES is Good for California 1. Restore operational flexibility to State s water system 2. Achieve the co-equal goals (2009 Delta Reform Act) 3. Dedicate water to DFW & SWRCB 4. Contribute flows to meet SWRCB s pending actions 5. Help mitigate for the effects of climate change 6. Contribute to State s renewable energy goals July

4 Benefits of SITES to N. California 1. Job creation Construction Operations & support recreation 2. Additional water Beneficial uses such as agriculture Environment & ecosystem for fish and birds 3. Local ownership More control over how the water is to be used - now and into the future More receptive to the needs of the community and landowners July

7 Proposition 1, Chapter 8: Key Performance Measures: Priority will be given to projects that leverage private, federal, or local funding to produce the greatest public benefit (chapter 4) Funds provided for public benefits associated with water storage projects that improve the operation of the state water system, are cost effective, and provide a net improvement in ecosystem and water quality conditions (b) Projects selected through a competitive public process [ranked by] the [magnitude of the] expected return for public investment (c) The project provides measureable improvement to the Delta ecosystem or to tributaries to the Delta The project will advance the long-term objectives of restoring ecological health and improving water management for beneficial uses of the Delta 79755(a)(5)(B) J a n u a r y D r ajuly f t, 2016 p l a n n i n g p h a s e c o n c e p t s 7

8 Water Commission s Selection Criteria: Increasing climate change predictions Return on Investment Future without Climate Change Where does the Water Commission want to land? Moderate Climate Change Moderate Climate Change w/ Sea Level Rise Delta or Tributaries: Measureable Improvement ( 79752) Non-linear scales Delta: Long-term Ecological Health ( 79755(a)(5)(B)) July
