Downstream: Adaptive Management of Glen Canyon Dam and the Colorado River Ecosystem (1999)
Chapter: Appendix G: Figures
DRAFT
Lake Powell Monitoring and Research Proposal1
Lake Powell Program Split Ad Hoc Group
November 17, 1998 (corrected copy)—to be on 12/8/98 TWG Agenda
Explanation of Change/Approach:
The following approach for identifying, developing, funding and conducting monitoring and research projects above Glen Canyon Dam (GCD) reflects:
-
the mandate within the Grand Canyon protection Act that the Adaptive Management Program (AMP) focus on effects of Secretarial actions on the Colorado River ecosystem downstream of GCD; and
-
the opportunity to provide adequate, long-term funding commitments for these AMP programs from outside sources.
All scientific activities related to Lake Powell would fit into one of the following categories with the specified funding sources:
WHITE AREAS: Those AMWG MO/INs that relate to downstream (below GCD) effects and conducted downstream of GCD:
-
Funded by the AMP Budget
-
Scope of work reviewed and approved by AMWG/TWG
-
Includes all appropriate MO's and IN's
-
GCMRC protocols apply (peer review, etc.)
-
Accomplished by GCMRC and/or its contractors
-
GCMRC will determine its capabilities to accomplish the work within funding personnel and other contraints
GRAY AREAS: Those AMWG MO/INs that relate to downstream effects, but conducted upstream of the dam:
-
Part of the AMP and uses AMP procedures
-
Funded by the Reclamation; e.g., O&M budget or other sources
-
Scope of work developed by GCMRC and coordinated with USBR and the Lake Powell Group
-
GCMRC protocols apply with PEP review before submission to MSWG/TWG
-
Submitted to AMWG/TWG for review and recommended adoption
-
Accomplished by CGMRC and/or its contractors
BLACK AREAS: Not directly related to downstream effects, conducted upstream of the dam:
-
Funded by Reclamation, Lake Powell Group, or other sources
-
Not part of AMP
-
MO's and IN's are retained in a non-program information-desired category until next revision
-
GCMRC protocols may not apply, cut data collection should be consistent for sharing of results
-
Accomplished by USBR, participants in the Lake Powell Group, or others
-
Results will be shared with GCMRC and AMWG
Note: GCMRC will present proposed budget split by 12/8/98
