Common use of Build a Collaborative and Integrated Process Clause in Contracts

Build a Collaborative and Integrated Process. The Convener will facilitate the team drafting this Agreement and the MOU clarifying roles and responsibilities of Partners. A Work Plan and Communications and Outreach Plan will be developed during this step. Meetings will be held for the Partners, including OWRD, to finalize the Work Plan and schedule for the planning process. Deliverable: Approved Agreement, signed MOU, Communication and Outreach Plan, and Work Plan and budget for steps 2 through 5 Step 2: Characterize Water Resources, Water Quality, and Basin Conditions Supply Analysis: Existing data will be collected to document surface water flows, ecological conditions, and groundwater/aquifer availability on a weekly basis (if data are available). The team will work closely with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to collect existing water quality data. On a weekly basis, the quantity and quality of water available in the basin will be identified. Existing data on ecological and anthropogenic conditions in the basin will also be noted in the Existing Conditions/State of Water Resources Report. A description on how these resources may be expected to change in the future will be added. This may include a discussion of such conditions as non-stationarity in hydrology and climate (such as climate change) that, while the necessary data, analytical and management tools may not be available yet, can improve perspective on representativeness and expectations of data. Preliminary challenges and opportunities in each area will be described. The Partners will meet to discuss the outline and draft Existing Conditions/State of Water Resources Report prior to finalization. Deliverable: Existing Conditions Report (State of Water Resources Report) Step 3: Quantify Existing and Future Needs/Demands Demand Analysis: Information will be gathered from each Partner to determine current water needs by season, quality, and volume. Agricultural demands will be reviewed using water rights Upper Grande Ronde River Watershed Partnership

Build a Collaborative and Integrated Process. The Convener will facilitate the team drafting this Governance Agreement and the an MOU clarifying roles and responsibilities of Partners. A Work Plan and Communications and Outreach Plan will be developed during this step. Meetings will be held for the Partners, including OWRD, to finalize the Work Plan and schedule for the planning process. Deliverable: Approved Governance Agreement, signed MOU, Communication and Outreach Plan, and Work Plan and budget for steps 2 through 5 Step 2: Characterize Water Resources, Water Quality, and Basin Conditions Supply Analysis: Existing data will be collected to document surface water flows, ecological conditions, and groundwater/aquifer availability on a weekly basis (if data are available). The team will work closely with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality DEQ to collect existing water quality data. On a weekly basis, the quantity and quality of water available in the basin will be identified.

Deliverable: Existing Conditions Report (State of Water Resources Report) Step 3: Quantify Existing and Future Needs/Demands Demand Analysis: Information will be gathered from each Partner to determine current water needs by season, quality, and volume. Agricultural demands will be reviewed using water rights Upper Grande Ronde River Watershed Partnershipand a determination of crop consumptive use on all irrigated lands. Future demands will also be considered. Municipal demands, along with future demand forecasts, will be obtained from the cities. Ecological demands will be obtained from the ODFW and other resource agencies. This information will be used to create a model of weekly demand (quality and quantity) for water in each of these areas. The Partners will meet to discuss the draft report prior to finalization.
