1. Placer County Water Agency Middle Fork American River Project Placer County Water Agency Middle Fork American River Project Approach for Developing New License Conditions Terrestrial Technical Working Group February 17, 2009

2. 1 Overall Approach for Developing New License Conditions Identify, Organize, and Schedule Discussion Topics Based on Potential New License Conditions Prioritize Discussions to Address Issues under FERC Jurisdiction, Followed by Other Issues Considers Agreements “Tentative” Until All Issues have been Discussed File a License Application that Includes Stakeholder- approved License Articles

3. 2 Collaboration Topic Schedule

4. 3 Development of New License Conditions Examples Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Plan

5. 4 Technical Study Plans Potential Resource Issues Technical Study Reports Describe Resource Status Develop & Apply analytical Tools Identify Potential PM&E Measures Describe Resulting Effects Across Resource Issues Refine Potential PM&E Measures Reach Tentative Agreement on New License Condition Balance Across Resource Issues Refine Resource Issues Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Plan – Process

6. 5 Vegetation & Integrated Pest Management Plan Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Plan Potential Resource Issues

7. 6 Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Plan Describe Resource Status/Apply Analytical Tools Special-status Plants Distribution of Special-status Plant Populations Noxious Weeds Extent and Location of Noxious Weeds Special- status Wildlife Presence of Special-status Wildlife and their Habitat Vegetation Communities Location of Vegetation Communities Project O & M Recreation Location of Project Facilities Location of Recreation Facilities Data Output Geographic Information System Analytical Tools Resource Issues
