Data Review and Assessment • Tech memos describing data assessment, data gaps, recommendations for GW monitoring, Sampling and Analysis Six Month Plan Look Ahead Hydrogeological Conceptual Model • Drafting cross sections and HCM, technical memorandum. HCM specific workshop Groundwater Model Update and Readiness • Model will be updated, model documentation prepared for R2 Grant

Groundwater Surface Water Interconnection • Technical memorandum on GDEs, installation of six piezometers and up to 40 temperature probes Six Month Water Budget Development Look Ahead • Early work to develop historical water budget. Round 3 Grant • If successful, preparation of grant agreement, additional consultant work

Technical memo on Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems took more time than expected. Site access agreements. Some delays but good progress being made on multiple fronts now (private land, City, County). Challenges Delays do not affect overall schedule, but can delay collection of new data. Currently mitigated by using water level data from shallow wells and use of groundwater flowmodel to examine predicted changes in groundwater conditions.

Anticipate using contingency funds for up to 2 additional workshops in FY 20/21. During FY 20/21 budget process, we will Fiscal propose moving approved contingency funds into contracts to cover this effort. Round 3 Grant- if awarded some scope and budget changes to contracts will be necessary to reflect additional funds for installation of data loggers and other work.

• Significant work last quarter. • Schedule concern with field work being mitigated. Summary • Seating of Stakeholder Advisory Committee means significant new work will take place. • Schedule graphic shows interrelationship of technical work and workshops.
