OVERVIEW

 State Obligations under the SSMP  What is the Phase I ten-year plan?  Our Partners  Our Projects  Implementation Plan  Air Quality  Future plans: area of focus, schedule, and funding

SLIDE 3

 Legislative  Contractual  Section 2940 Fish and Game Code  Salton Sea Task Force  CNRA and DOI Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

STATE OBLIGATIONS UNDER SSMP

SLIDE 4

 Phase I of SSMP  Meet Task Force goals by 2028  Concentrate design and construction for habitat

and dust mitigation

 Implement longer term solution at the Sea  Enhance coordination among stakeholders

AIR QUALITY

 Obligations:

 Task Force  Contractual obligation under the QSA

 Dust mitigation projects in coordination with partners

 Waterless and water dependent measures  Planning and Implementation

 East and West shores of the Salton Sea in 2018

SLIDE 14

AIR QUALITY – CURRENT EFFORTS

 Methods

 Surface roughening  Vegetation Enhancement  Surface Stabilizer

SLIDE 16

 10-Year plan focuses on key components and

locations

 New River East & West  Whitewater River  Alamo River North & South

 Priorities because of proximity to water

sources & completed environmental clearance

 Water delivery infrastructure

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

SLIDE 20

Continue developing water management design criteria

Evaluate habitat locations & types

Refine conceptual design options for playa land uses

Refine assessment tools for SSMP playa treatments

Evaluate SSMP environmental compliance needs

Compare & evaluate habitat designs to existing draft Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs)

Plan & implement air quality projects

Plan & implement harbor & ancillary facilities
