1 Accelerating Restoration Projects on Private Lands with the Partners in Restoration (PIR) Permit Coordination Program GavPac Committee Meeting, Gaviota, CA December 15, 2010 Analysis Draft Recommendations
2 Sustainable Conservation 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization (founded 1993) Based in San Francisco offices in Modesto & Burbank Initiated Partners in Restoration (PIR) permit coordination program in 1996
3 Accelerating Restoration in California With the PIR Program Goal: Greatly increase permitted erosion control & habitat enhancement projects implemented voluntarily on private lands Method: Programmatic permitting of specified conservation practices & environmental protection measures Focus: Streams & adjacent uplands on farmland, ranchland, rural residential Benefits: Improved habitat complexity & connectivity, water quality, recovery of listed species, management of working lands Partners: Sustainable Conservation USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Local Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) Regulatory agencies Landowners, land trusts, conservancies & others
4 Accelerating Restoration with PIR Challenges and Opportunities Farmers & ranchers eager for restoration but face arduous and timeconsuming permit process Regulatory agencies can t efficiently review, permit & monitor many small projects To reach difficult sediment reduction and species recovery goals, we need to accelerate restoration on private land 50% private land in California
5 Accelerating Restoration with PIR California s Forests, Waters, Fishes & Birds at Risk Up to 95% of riparian forests removed remaining forests fragmented and degraded 17,000 stream miles impaired by sediment Salmon & steelhead 10 Federal & 4 State T/E listings Riparian-dependent T/E birds Bank swallow, Bell s vireo, Willow flycatcher, Yellow-billed cuckoo
6 Accelerating Restoration with PIR PIR Supports Environmental Goals Listed species Recovery Plans (FWS, NOAA, DFG) TMDL sediment reduction targets (State & Regional Water Boards, EPA) Habitat restoration (NOAA, FWS, DFG) Watershed Planning (Local)
7 Permits Required to Individual Permitting of Restoration Projects Repair a Stream Bank U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service NOAA Fisheries Service ESA - Section 7 Consultation U. S. Army Corps of Engineers CWA - Section 404 Permit County Grading and Encroachment Permits CEQA CA Dept. of Fish and Game Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement CESA Regional Water Quality Control Board CWA Sec. 401 WQ Certification California Coastal Commission Coastal Development Permit
8 PIR Programs 8 Implemented Elkhorn Slough Watershed Morro Bay Watershed Navarro River Watershed Marin Coastal Watersheds Santa Cruz County Alameda County Yolo County Watersheds Calleguas Creek Watershed (Ventura) 4 In Development San Luis Obispo County Santa Barbara County Upper Pajaro River Watershed Mendocino County 4 Unsuccessful/Suspended Salinas River Watershed SLRR/Santa Margarita Watersheds (SD) Humboldt County Lake County Watersheds
9 Accelerating Restoration with PIR Assessing the PIR Program Data analysis Survey In-depth interviews Draft report w/ comment period Final report
10 Powerhouse PIR Program Santa Cruz County Strong RCD leadership, sizeable and trained staff 6 years implementation, 58 projects 11,000 of riparian habitat enhanced, 20 stream miles opened for fish, 14,000T of sedimentation prevented $4.5M+ leveraged for PIR projects County Master Permit incorporates CDP under LCP Cannot meet demand for PIR, and program renewed
11 A Winning Team Approach: Marin County PIR Strong RCD leadership, broad community support Projects selected by technical team w/ cooperative monitoring 5 years implementation, 34 diverse projects 35,000 riparian enhanced, 16,000T sedimentation prevented $3.8+ million leveraged for PIR projects County PIR program consistent with LCP Cannot meet demand for PIR, and program renewed
12 Conservation Practices Stabilize Streambanks
13 Conservation Practices Streambank Repair
14 Conservation Practices Replace Old Culverts & Fill w/ Natural Bottom Culvert or Span
15 Conservation Practices Grade Stabilization
16 Conservation Practices Access Road Improvements
17 Conservation Practices Fish Stream Improvement
18 PIR Data Analysis Overall Program Outcomes 227 projects implemented in 13 years 200,000+ tons of soil loss prevented: Morro Bay PIR: 2,200 tons/yr Navarro River PIR: 9,800 tons/yr (each contributing ~ 6% toward TMDL targets) 17 miles of riparian habitat enhanced
19 PIR Data Analysis Conservation Practices Average # practices authorized = 13/program Average # practices actually implemented = 7/program Average # practices commonly implemented = 4/program Selecting core set of conservation practices is feasible
20 PIR Data Analysis Individual Program Outcomes Average time required to develop PIR = 3.5 years Average cost to develop PIR = $373,000 Average # projects installed before PIR = 1/year Average # projects installed with PIR = 5/year
21 Comprehensive PIR Assessment Conclusions PIR can significantly boost the pace of restoration Environmental protection measures for PIR considered strong/very strong Controlling sediment & enhancing habitat helps achieve TMDL targets & species recovery goals Successful PIR programs can help many private landowners do conservation work PIR costly & difficult to develop but worthwhile when enough projects are implemented
22 Sustainable Conservation s Proposal Transition PIR permitting efforts from watershed and countywide basis to a statewide or multi-region program
23 Comprehensive PIR Assessment Recommendations Recommendation 1 Build Support for Statewide or Multi-region Restoration Program Recommendation 2 Select Core Set of Conservation Practices & Environmental Protection Measures Recommendation 3 Programmatic Permitting for Scaled-up PIR (DFG, CCC, SWRCB, Corps, NOAA, FWS) Recommendation 4 Standardize Monitoring & Reporting for PIR
24 Comprehensive PIR Assessment Recommendations Recommendation 5 Statewide CEQA Process for PIR & Revise CEQA Guidelines for Restoration Programs Recommendation 6 Provide ESA & NHPA/SHPO Coverage for Entire PIR Program Recommendation 7 Integrate Federal & State Safe Harbor Agreements into PIR Program
25 Comprehensive PIR Assessment Recommendations Recommendation 8 Demonstrate How PIR Helps Achieve Environmental Goals & Seek Greater Funding Recommendation 9 Increase RCDs Capacity for PIR Development & Implementation Recommendation 10 Help Other Parties to Use the RCDs Programmatic Permits & Authorizations
26 Next Steps for PIR Assessment Process Draft and Final PIR Assessment reports Continue outreach Collaborate with agencies and partners to establish statewide or multi-region restoration program (3-5 year effort)
