Program Priorities. The State Water Board has identified eight (8) priorities for the period of this agreement, which are listed in the following table. These priorities are consistent with the Legislature’s recently enacted changes to the H&SC that affect LOPs, including the requirement to reduce the overall costs for site cleanup and the time to reach closure by increasing coordination among the LOP staff, the responsible party/claimant, the consultant, and State Water Board staff. These priorities also reflect State Water Board policies for water quality control, plans, and resolutions, including Resolution No. 92-49, Resolution No. 2012-0016 (adopting the Closure Policy), and State Water Board Resolution Nos. 2009-0042, 2009-0081, 2012-0062, and 2013-0001. 1) Proactively and aggressively manage cases to expeditiously achieve closure • Review cases against the Closure Policy and document impediments to case closure; update at least annually to reflect a UST Project Execution Plan, if one has been prepared. • Develop and direct a cost-effective Path to Closure Plan to address impediments to closure; the plan shall include milestones and timelines including enforcement; update at least annually to reflect a UST Project Execution Plan, if one has been prepared. • For each case, identify the LOP’s and Responsible Party’s actions to remove impediments to closure. • Direct work to ensure case closure is appropriate. • Minimize the cost of compliance with agency regulatory directives. • Respond to work plans and closure requests within sixty (60) days of submittal. • At a minimum, meet ten (10) percent Closure Rate for this Grant Agreement period. • Timely closure of cases determined eligible for closure. 2) Require only actions that are necessary to address impediments to case closure • Participate in development of consensus conceptual site model (CSM) documented in the UST Project Execution Plan, if one has been prepared. • Issue directives that reflect the UST Project Execution Plan, if one has been prepared. • Prior to issuing new directives, review the Closure Policy criteria, and for Fund cases, the most recent Review Summary Report and Fund site budget.

Program Priorities. The Climate Program Office cannot fulfill this vision alone and the recipient is expected to possess unique capabilities to address the following four priority areas. 1. Improved scientific understanding of the changing climate system and its impacts. The need to advance understanding of the climate system and climate impacts, improve climate predictions and projections, and better inform adaptation and mitigation strategies is urgent. Key scientific uncertainties limit scientists' ability to understand and predict changes in the climate system. This is particularly true for monthly-to-decadal timescales and at the regional and local levels for which scales are highly relevant to planning and decision making. Research on the connections between weather and climate, for instance, is necessary to understand how a changing climate may affect precipitation patterns and severe weather events, including hurricanes. On decadal-to-centennial timescales, research is needed to understand feedback between atmospheric greenhouse gases and the rate of global-to- regional climate impacts, such as changes in sea level, heat waves, droughts, and air and water quality. Adaptation and mitigation strategies must be informed by a solid scientific understanding of the climate system. Research is required to understand how changes in the global ocean circulation affect the climate system and their subsequent impacts on coastal regions, including sea level rise, ocean acidification, and living marine resources. 2. Scientific assessments of current and future states of the climate system that identify potential impacts and inform science, service, and stewardship decisions. Stakeholders and the general public need a clear understanding of the best available science that describes the state of the climate and the likely impacts of climate change. Scientific assessments at the global, national, regional, and local levels integrate knowledge from many disciplines to provide decision makers with authoritative information on climate impacts, identify gaps in understanding, and help prioritize future research and development efforts to fill those gaps. When pursued on a sustained basis, assessments build relationships between researchers and users that are critical for communities and governments to take action. 3. Mitigation and adaptation efforts supported by sustained, reliable, and timely climate services. Human-induced changes in Earth's climate, as well as natural climate variabi...
