our watershed or out? >> there are no mitigation banks in the peninsular region. we don't have an option to go to the mitigation bank and there are no voluntary sellers. there are some that have not been earmarked and targeted. the agencies directed us to have this project in the initial watershed. there are some frantic properties that we are exploring the timing of getting those in to control so that we can meet the requirements for permits was unpredictable and we worked with the agencies to identify projects that would allow us to make the schedules. >> thank you. any other comments? next item? >> presentation and possible action to approve the selection of ducks unlimited, award water apprize, water system improvement program funded agreement, a group of hasidic and county of san francisco and ducks unlimited. >> if we could have the overhead. this indicates where we are talking about in the south bay. this is an item for $135,000. near the bottom, there is a red circle which was the main terminal sit

the bowling watershed is not a rich environment. we do regularly get snow fall and our highest elevation in there is about 2500 feet. what we do have is a dotted line showing our regular run off of the streams in the and the dark line shows projected what would happen without the snow fall. it's not particularly significant for our municipal supply. one of these reasons is for the late spring rain period. what we typically see is the snow fall that does shed is scoured out in late april and may site has a much bigger impact on our fish flows potentially. another thing the palmer study gave us was effect on our projected demand. you can see the higher line represents what we think would happen based on the climate change effect and that's 8 percent bump over norms in 2040. so a climate change enhanced version. the footnotes of this slide is since we conducted this study and this speaks to something chuck just mentioned their subjectively lower than when we first did this so that's an issue we're trying to understand how to incorporat

we have the west side watershed and the bayside watershed. there are eight different basins. what we are looking at doing is characterizing what happens inside of the basins and having a system to do it. it will help us make decisions about the wet weather operations. that looks better on the page. for them to be successful, we'll have to fully integrate the a infrastructure machine that includes construction management engineering contracts and environmental -- we will have some new folks that come in that will be focused on the waste water capital program. the communications director -- who also have right away issues that will be easements and things we will have to require for some of the projects to be effective. in orange, we have the waste water -- they will be helping us direct the program as well. we will have a liaison initiative. almost psychedelic on the screen now, something that is a bit different is that our engineering work and construction management work can be done by the sfpuc, the waste water process engineering group, or they may be using consultants. fo

the bureau of management located opportunities within our watershed. the agency's use to those and found them suitable restoration projects. the nine locations support 6 progress including the damn replacement project. this illustrates how a site provides compensation for more than one project. goldfish pond provides compensation for four projects. we will include fencing to exclude cattle from certain areas including this pond. we would remove non native vegetation and allow this to restore around the edge to benefit the frog and salamander. also here is a solar panel and a water trough which would provide watering to the cattle. this cold fish pond will be heading a share and it requires rebuilding the embankment. shawn your this is the eroding word that water disappears. also at this location we are estimating up to 5 acres of seasonal wetlands and that is demonstrated by the dark green area in the graphic and tel. the habitat restoration team is working to identify other habitats. we are pursuing projects and identified by the fish and wildlife ser

almost everything,maurine, i got resentment issues with him with rain and watershed. this is not looking down the road if you think about what we're saying which is you look at 40 years but today is what's going to tap right in front of us so 76, 77 scenario is probably in everybody's planning. the state require as submitle every five or six years how your making your investments and planning for it. it's not look long and plan today. >> i think we're more concerned about drought scenarios than year to year water supply. we have had tree rings and decade shifts in with tear shifts and so the australians have done a lot of work with the back to back droughts and they are now experiencing them so we're working with them on drought and run some risk consequence models to see what kind of investment does that mean. our problem is we get a hundred years of rain and then if you don't have long-term supply all the sudden you're in really a lot of trouble if you have not dealt with the drought consequences issues. >> portland is the same. we're supply limited the study does n

that means urban areas will necessarily be investing in flood management and watershed management. those are essential parts of the flood management and some water utilities have flood water management and some don't. that suggests there's a real opportunity for water managers to work together with flood management to receive double management and benefits. a lot of these flood management benefits have strategies rather, have the potential to supply benefits. we think they will perform greater in the future. the third time you've seen this slide. we know we'll ceo level rise. that means example, in the next slide, shows especially in coast areas. next. that means there is about lot of good news with regard to climate change if your a water manager. but a little good news is these are tools that we think will perform better in the future from a water manager's perspective. the next slide show s tools that will not be reduced in performance by climate change. waist management, local shower heads, ground water clean up. those are important tools that are relatively climate insensitive

we will be coming back in january to talk about the urban watershed framework and possible prioritization that we can perhaps focus our direction on one and run it through the whole framework and analysis. the outcome is the flood control project that would have gone through triple bottom-line consideration. we will also be coming back with levels of service. i of the commission has expressed an interest in having the technology discussion. several of our staff of just made a journey to look at some of the advanced treatments, and i would be interested in having a debrief with the commission. we need to be on the leading edge. we like to see someone else in america do it first, then kick the tires and really see. but we have this huge opportunity in front of us to make things better, sustainable, greener. a good policy discussion would be something that had been requested in this out like that might be something that would be a little bit higher level. >> if i can summarize, we are saying that we would expect to have a mix of outside contractors staff working together, and we like to hear

critical support for acquisition and protection was approved for land adjacent to the watershed. creating a significant number of new jobs and safety improvements to the water system. the automated water meter program was launched. the recycle water project was moved forward and will help reduce dependence on water resources. more than 4000 ha lit rebates and 5000 washer rebates were issued. the big tunnel construction project began, the first tunnel to be built. the local hiring and employment discussions were significantly expanded and groundbreaking community benefits program was launched for the public utility commission. and to ensure that the high standards of tracking this is not an exhaustive list. but i think it is impressive. this is the gavel set. thank you, mr. former president.

we have to the of the miles of water pipes, and over 85% of them are leaking and leaking into a watershed, and we need to factor that into such type of deliberations. also, because sfpuc that is the main vendor that sells water to 2.4 million customers, we need to incorporate some kind of mechanism to tell us that if we conserve water in whatever manner, how do the other people in the other areas, san mateo and all of them who use a lot of water, what will they do? all long time ago, when the golden gate park was formed, those geniuses, those engineers used windmills. for years and years and years what have we done about gray water? i just came back from australia and new zealand, where they conserve a lot of water, and as the gentleman said, we talk the talk, but we cannot walk the walk, because what is the percentage of homes in san francisco that have a mechanism where they have gray water? now, if you get into areas like the presidio, but and this is with the hetch-hetchy water, using a lot of it for irrigation, they are making some moves to use gray water, but they waste a lot of cle
