DISCUSSION<br />
EBMUD has been a member of the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority (UMRWA) since it<br />
was established in 2000 as a Joint Powers Authority. UMRWA focuses on water resource issues in the<br />
Mokelumne/Amador/Calaveras (MAC) region which includes much of Calaveras and Amador<br />
Counties and western Alpine County. UMRWA has just completed an update to the MAC IRWM<br />
Plan. The updated plan was unanimously approved by the UMRWA Board of Directors on January 25,<br />
2013. All UMRWA member agencies will consider adopting the updated plan.<br />
Agencies applying to receive Proposition 84 Implementation Grant funding are required, as a condition<br />
of receiving monies, to adopt the updated plan. The UMRWA Round 2 Implementation Grant<br />
application, which must be submitted by March 29, will include the Camanche Area Regional Water<br />
Supply Project (CARWSP), a project sponsored by EBMUD. Documentation evidencing the EBMUD<br />
Board of Director's approval of the updated MAC Plan is necessary to complete the application.<br />
The Updated MAC IRWM Plan<br />
The MAC IRWM Plan is both an account of the region's water resource conditions, geography, and<br />
needs and a set of projects which if implemented will help fulfill the plan's four main policies:<br />
Maintain and improve water quality,<br />
- Improve water supply reliability and ensure long-term balance of supply and demand,<br />
- Practice resource stewardship,<br />
Focus on areas of common ground and avoid prolonged conflict.<br />
