1 Integrated Environmental Management in the Colorado River Basin A Dream, or Moving to Reality? Chris Harris Deputy Director Colorado River Board of California
2 1922 Compact 1928 BCPA 1944 Treaty w/mexico 60 MAF of storage Major diversions 40 million people 5.5 million acres of agriculture Bankline & Levee construction
3 Environmental Consequences-- Alteration of pre-development hydrograph Removal of native riparian vegetation Decoupling river from the floodplain (i.e., channelization and incisement) Habitat fragmentation Introduction of non-native aquatic and terrestrial species
4 FLOW (1000 CFS) Feb '35 Storage begins Lake Mead July '41 Lake Mead Fills Mar '63 Storage begins Lake Powell Fills June '80 Lake Powell Fills FLOW BELOW HOOVER DAM CALENDAR YEARS
5 Historical & Future Projected Use and Demand--
6 Environmental Programs in the Basin--
7 Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program-- San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program-- Virgin River Recovery Program--
8 Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program-- HBC conservation Rainbow trout mgt. Sediment conservation and redistribution Cultural resources preservation Adaptive management and experimentation
9 Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program--
10 The Road to the MSCP Big River fishes critical habitat designation 1995 listing of southwestern willow flycatcher as endangered USBR initiated ESA Section 7 consultation for routine LCR operations and maintenance activities
11 Stakeholder Groups-- Federal Group DOI agencies + WAPA Non-Federal Group State agencies and Ag., M&I, and Power entities Native American Tribes Other Public Interest Groups Conservation Groups
12 LCR MSCP Program Planning Area-- Full pool elevation of Lake Mead to SIB, including the historic floodplain
13 Program Overview-- 50-year Program Program budget -- $626 million 31 species covered Creation/maintenance of 8,132 acres of -- 5,940 ac. cottonwood-willow 1,320 ac. honey mesquite 512 ac. marsh 360 ac. Backwaters Stocking of razorback suckers and bonytail
14 Covered Species-- 26 Covered Species 12 avian species 4 fish species 1 amphibian 2 reptiles 4 mammals 2 plants 1 insect 5 Evaluation Species 3 mammals 2 amphibians
15 Key Covered Species-- Razorback sucker CDFG SW Willow Flycatcher USFWS Bonytail BLM Yuma clapper rail USFWS
16 LCR MSCP Conservation Areas through 2013
17 Palo Verde Ecological Reserve PVER Land is owned by California Department of Fish & Wildlife 1,300 acres restored with cottonwood-willow and mesquite habitat. Water available from the Palo Verde Irrigation District. Photo courtesy of USBR-LC
18 Mass Planting Native Trees--
19 Cibola NWR--Hart Mine Marsh--
20 Laguna Habitat Conservation Area--
21 Laguna Habitat Conservation Area
22 Laguna Habitat Conservation Area
23 Hunter s Hole Cons. Area Before After
24 Monitoring/Research & Adaptive Mgt.---
25 Current Status-- Program is spending $25-35 million/year FY-2013 Work Plan/Budget is $34 million California s share is $8.6 million Total Land Cover Types created through FY ,447 acres of the total 8,132 acres required; 985 acres restored in California Native Fish stockings through FY ,000 RASU 60,000 BONY
26 Hits & Misses -- What s Working Long-term environmental compliance is in place ; Benefits to CA & LB States QSA implementation, Water Banking, 2007 Interim Guidelines, etc.; Adaptive management process is successful; Knowledge gained about species, data collection and management, habitat restoration techniques; Public outreach & education; Sharing information with other efforts What s Not Working Native/non-native fish interactions; Controlling non-native aquatic and terrestrial species; Finding suitable lands in CA for restoration
27 Current Issues of Concern-- Quagga mussel infestations Salt cedar and Salt cedar beetle defoliation along LCR; Finding 2,000+ acres of land in CA Native/Non-native fish interactions
28 Administration & Oversight-- LCR MSCP Steering Committee & Technical Work Group Steering Committee provides policy-level oversight, approves Work Plan & Budget Technical Work Group provides technical assistance
