Phase II- Process Discussion

Jordan Lake Partnership12/19/2011

Concerns we’ve heard (Paraphrased)

• Not everyone is at the table.• Source selection is too hard when starting

from scratch. Need something to react to. • Calculator tool is too complex, too hard to see.• Need to separate picking sources from figuring

out everything about how the alternative will work.

• Let’s figure out 2060, then get back to the intermediate stuff.

RWSP Phase II Process (High Level)Phase I: Establish NeedsPhase II:1. Introduce/Collect/Describe Source Options2. Develop Regional Alternatives3. Model Regional Alternatives4. Evaluate Regional Alternatives (and Prioritize)5. Write a Report about it

Regional Implementation of Source Options

(Frameworks/ Regional Alternatives)

Regional Alternative

Implementation (for OASIS)• Who gets water from which

source• Who relies on whom for regular

sales vs emergencies• Where will water get discharged

ProcessA. Demand Forecast & Indv. Source Options1. Pick Framework2. Select Collection of Source Options that

Meet Demand (2060)3.

Implementation (for JLP/DWR)• How does water get from each

source to where it is needed• What infrastructure needs to be

built/ expanded/ upgraded?• What permits may be needed?• Cost/Environmental/Legal

Implementation

For a given set of sources and users, there may be several methods of implementation to get water from each source to the correct users.

(Phase II report)

So what do we need to do?

Group Efforts• Collections of Sources

(TJCOG, anyone) Jan• Phase II detailed

outline.. (work with TJCOG to develop – volunteers?) Jan• Decision process for

recommendations • Decide which

alternatives to model Mar

Individual/Small Group

• Meet with TJCOG to help develop inputs to OASIS model (include consultants) Jan• Source descriptions,

information, costs. Jan/Feb• Write report sections

relevant to your system as needed. Feb/Mar

TJCOG• Publish PhaseI ASAP• Collect. Of Sources

ASAP• Meet with systems

and consultants re: OASIS Jan• Work on outline/

section templates Jan• Finalize model

inputs Feb/Mar• Model in OASIS Apr
