Tools for Linking Management Measures to Water Quality Information Center for the Environment Mike Byrne March 6, 2001

Outline Background NRPI Management Measures – Management Practices Data RWQCB TMDL support

Background ICE is: –A Team of Analysts, Specialists, and Programmers –Researching and developing methods for integrating spatial data and multiple databases –In order to provide better resource decision making tools

Background Cooperative Facility (interdepartmental) within the Dept. of Environmental Science and Policy – GIS, database and modeling support – Public access to data, maps, models and reports – Maintains one of the most extensive on-line environmental bibliographies – Website is accessed over 14,000 times per week

Natural Resource Projects Inventory (NRPI) A Cooperative Effort Between UC Davis Information Center for the Environment (ICE) California Biodiversity Council

Natural Resource Projects Inventory (NRPI)

Natural Resource Projects Inventory (NRPI) A searchable on-line database with nearly 2000 watershed management and on-the-ground restoration projects in California A decision support tool and tracking device for resource managers and the public, receiving over 1200 hits daily Contains over 2400 cooperators, funders, and landowners; 1600 contacts; and 1200 species Over 1600 projects are spatially referenced

NRPI Overview Internet CORE DATA Watershed Groups Database Watershed Projects Inventory (WPI) CA Ecological Restoration Projects Inventory (CERPI) CA Noxious Weed Control Projects Inventory (CalWeed) ICEMaps2 On-line Mapping California Rivers Assessment (CARA)

Components of NRPI Database WPI (Watershed Projects Inventory) – Started with funds from CBC to UC Davis in 1993, with primary direction and support from CDFG and SWRCB – Additional support from BLM, CDF and USEPA – Focus is on projects with 3 or more cooperators – Can be a watershed plan that is yet to be implemented – Contains: contacts, purpose, location, habitat, species, cooperators, methods and more –

Components of NRPI Database CERPI (Ecological Restoration Projects) – Funded in 1996 through grant from USEPA, plus matching funds from CA Department of Conservation and CA Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SERCAL) – On-the-ground restoration projects Can be single group or multi-group effort Same data fields as WPI –

Components of NRPI Database CalWeed (California Noxious Weed Control Projects Inventory) – Group formed by the Signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (1995 – 1997) by sixteen State and Federal Agencies – An Inventory of Noxious Weed Projects in California Searchable by Species, Controls, Location, etc. – An On-line Encyclopedia of Weed biology and Control Data with additional links –

Other Projects EPA’s California Water Quality Planning Projects – – Includes all 319(h) and 205(j) projects CALFED Ecosystem Restoration Projects – Spatial and text searches for projects including: CALFED Ecological Management Unit Boundaries, Watershed Boundaries, Political Boundaries (in development)

Web-based Interfaces in Progress My Watershed Page (in development) – Accessible on the Sacramento River Watershed Program Homepage – Will query NRPI database by Sacramento River watershed map San Francisco Bay Fund Inventory Project (in development) – Will provide access to NRPI data through clickable map

Management Measures - Management Practices For SWRCB Track the effectiveness of Management Measures Tag to Authorities Issues –No standardization (between agencies) of BMP’s –No clear idea of effectiveness

Management Measures - Management Practices Strategy –Tag projects (TMDL watersheds) with measures and practices –GPS the site –Photo Document the site

Management Measures - Management Practices Create a Database for –Tracking –Initiation –Implementation –Effectiveness Enter projects into NRPI Digital Photographic evidence Register to Authorities Database

Management Measures - Management Practices Outcome – GIS ready – Simple documentation of management measures and practices – Return potential to examine effectiveness – Database, searchable, on-line – Standards – Pilot additional in depth work

Region 5 TMDL Support TMDL on the Sacramento River for Diazinon Spray for dormant orchards Grouping of Management Practices to reduce –Runoff reduction –Selection of pest management strategies –Application methods Voluntary - Survey

Region 5 TMDL Support Create a survey to assess the amount of voluntary management practices Compile survey into a database Spatially Reference the survey Create GIS tools to view CA Dept. Pesticide Regulation Data and survey data in one framework

Region 5 TMDL Support Amount of pesticide applied per 1 square mile Land Use (Orchard) –Almond, Prune, Peaches, Walnuts Amount of pesticide applied per orchard Types and amount of BMP’s per orchard Identify trends in pesticide reduction

Diazinon Use in the Sacramento Valley

Region 5 TMDL Support Provide mechanism in ArcView to see where Management Practices are reducing the amount of Diazinon run-off Over time
