3 I. WHAT IS THE SWRP: Purpose and Goals The Madera County Storm Water Resource Plan (SWRP) is a first of its kind watershed based storm water plan that will establish an integrated, holistic, and coordinated storm water run-off management strategy for the entire County.

4 I. WHAT IS THE SWRP: Purpose and Goals Development of the SWRP is grant-funded and being led by the County of Madera in coordination with a Technical Advisory Committee, Stakeholder Group, and community members.

5 I. WHAT IS THE SWRP: Purpose and Goals The purpose of the SWRP is to identify and prioritize projects to bring to the top those multi-benefit projects that can best meet the identified priorities on a watershed basis.

6 I. WHAT IS THE SWRP: Purpose and Goals Outcome of the plan is to provide the guidance and tools to support the region in developing more competitive projects for state-wide grant funding opportunities to achieve watershed and regional planning goals.

7 I. MADERA SWRP TAC: Roles and Responsibilities TECHNICAL ADVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES: Review methodology and provide feedback on metrics Review spatial analysis Assist in defining criteria weight for project prioritization Review the draft SWRP Plan and provide feedback Provide comments throughout the SWRP process Participate in the next TAC meeting Provide input on draft projects and new project concepts (optional and requires clearly defining any potential conflict of interests) flow control detention retention filtration infiltration treatment slow spread soak

8 III. SWRP PROCESS: Prioritization Methodology Project Ranking An objective method to rank project relative to a set of stormwater multi-benefits with two components: 1. Spatial Prioritization Analysis: Identify areas of greatest stormwater/dry weather flow impacts/potential benefits. 2. Project Multi-Benefits Assessment Combine multiple criteria for estimating overall value from SW multi-benefits of projects. Water Supply Water Quality Flooding Environmental Community

9 III. SWRP PROCESS: Prioritization Methodology Criteria Metrics Impacts + Potential Benefits Water supply Water quality Flood risk Quantitative measure of criteria Dry weather water use GW elevation change Subsidence GW recharge potential Modeled runoff Modeled pollutant loading Sold erodibility Length of impaired WB Impervious area Potential flooded area

23 V. SWRP PROCESS: Criteria Weighting Scoring Projects Based on Weighted Criteria For each of the multi-benefit criteria: Step #1: Determine the Project Score Project Score is a measure of how well a project satisfies the criteria. Step #2: Project Score x Criteria Weight = Criteria Score Step #3: Sum of all Criteria Scores = Final Project Score Final Project Score is a measure of how well a project satisfies ALL the criteria Step #4: Compare Final Project Scores of all Projects and Rank Projects
