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:

  1. 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

  2. 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

 Revised based on comments from Bruce Moore, Norm Henderson, Wayne Cook, Clayton palmer, Cliff Barrett, Bill Persons, Bill Davis, Rich Johnson, Barry Gold, Bill Vernieu, and Bob Winfree.

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

The Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center began long-term planning at its inception and, in May 1997, produced a Long-Term Monitoring and Research Strategic Plan that was adopted by stakeholder groups (the Adaptive Management Work Group and the Technical Work Group) later that year. The Center then requested the National Research Council's (NRC) Water Science and Technology Board to evaluate this plan.
