Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program <br />RIPARIAN SHADE CREDIT PROGRAM <br />Description:project facilitates the generation of water quality trading credits for temperature <br />This <br />through implementation of riparian shade restoration projects. The primary project <br />elements are the support and funding of the MWMC’s watershed interests through <br />EWEB’s Pure Water Partners program and the ongoing long-term monitoring and <br />reporting associated with the MWMC’s pilot “shade sponsorship” projects that were <br />implemented in 2013-2016 and previously covered under the Thermal Load Mitigation <br />Implementation 1 project sheet on prior year’s budget documents. Prior year’s expenses <br />associated with the MWMC’s pilot “shade sponsorship” projects are not shown here but <br />are shown under the Thermal Load Mitigation Implementation 1 project sheet. <br />Status: <br />On-going <br />Justification: <br /> Sponsorship pilot projects have ongoing contractual obligations through the year 2034 to <br />maintain the site monitoring and reporting required to maintain the MWMC’s regulatory <br />credit. The Pure Water Partners program is the MWMC’s leading and most cost-effective <br />strategy for thermal load compliance. The Pure Water Partners program starts in 2018, <br />including initial outreach to identify qualified project sites to generate shade credits for <br />the MWMC. <br />Project Driver: <br />Ongoing shade contract commitment plus additional NPDES permit compliance needs <br />based on updated temperature standards and thermal load limits. <br />Project Trigger: <br />Impending NPDES permit renewal; currently in administrative extension. <br />Improvement <br /> SDC Eligibility: <br />26.1% <br />Estimated Project Cost: <br />$1,089,000 <br />Estimated Cash Flow: <br />FY 18-19 = $226,000; FY 19-20 = $227,000; FY 20-21 = $212,000; FY 21-22 = $210,000; <br />FY 22-23 = $214,000 <br />Prior2017-18 <br /> Expenditure/Cateor:YearsEst.
