 Okay, my phone says nine o'clock but let's just wait another minute or so. We do have a quorum at least and I expect that we'll get a couple more people joining. Okay, good morning everybody. Happy 2021. Hope everybody had a nice new year and I'm sure like everybody else, all of us are hoping 2021's got to be a great year and we'll bring a lot of new opportunities and we can out with the old and in with the new so let's go ahead and get started this morning. I just want to remind everybody again when you're Gina or Easter doing roll call please give your full name. Same thing when you're asking questions or making any comments and then the regular routine of please mute your phones when you're not speaking to try to minimize any disruption and then again I also want to encourage those of you that have video to turn on your videos to make it look more of kind of see everybody's faces in early 2021 and I'm definitely looking forward to the day when we can have in-person meetings again so let's hope that we can do that in 2021 right. Okay, first item on the agenda is to do meeting roll call so if I don't know if Gina are you going to do the roll call for me please. It's Easter I'll be taking it on so we have City of Katari City of Petaluma Kent Corother City of Petaluma City of Renner Perk City of Santa Rosa at Jennifer Burke Santa Rosa Water City of Sonoma Paling Ferguson City of Sonoma Northburn Water District Drumac Entire Town of Windsor Christina Goulart Valley of the Moon Water District I have Matt Brain Municipal Water District Paul Salier Brain Municipal and just one moment I will give staff and public attendees as well. Easter I do believe Craig Scott just joined from Rotor Park. Craig Scott City of Katari thank you Drew. Thank you we have Grant Davis here Don Seymour Pam Jean Paul Piazza Barry Dugan Bob Anderson Brad Sherwood Brian Clokeny Clare Nordley Colin Close David Keller Elizabeth Cargate Margaret E. Genova Michael Thompson with Sonoma County Water Agency Peter Martin Sandy Potter and Tony Williams with Northburn Water District and just one moment please Phil and we also just had Mary Grace Passen join as well. Okay thanks Easter so we have 100 participation of the TAC members again and we have close to actually we got 30 total participants so that's great it's a great start welcome again to everybody we're going to be following the agenda that everybody should have um item number two is public comments uh we're now taking public comments on non-agenda items if you wish to make a comment via zoom please uh raise your hand and if you're participating by phone you can hit star nine to indicate that you have a question or a comment so we'll pause for any questions and comments during open time and then Gina you're are you the one tracking this I'm gonna run the one voicemail that we received for this item okay thank you Drew would you like us to play the public comment now yes please Gina do you want me to try it or second I'm gonna open the audio file just so the group knows we've seen what Gina's working on that we received um two comments from Dwayne DeWitt uh on the that came in over the weekend on my phone one is on just uh open time agenda item two and the other one is related to item number five on the 2020 water production and Gina I can try to play it from my computer if you think that might be easier she said just one more moment please okay for the technical advisory committee meeting on Monday January 4th my name is Dwayne DeWitt it's for public comment item two and I'd like to move forward with the idea that we're already in a drought we've had less rain this year than we might expect and we're back to our cycle of the four seasons of California drought earthquakes fires and floods so now that we're back in drought I'm hoping that you folks on this technical advisory committee will begin to look at stormwater retention possibilities and riparian corridors in the area where I live of roseland we have the roseland creek corridor that empties out into the Laguna de Santa Rosa which empties out into the russian river stormwater retention techniques could be utilized all along the roseland creek corridor starting up in Santa Rosa near the downtown area the downtown specific plan actually of Santa Rosa takes into account an area just across the street from where roseland creek is south of its boundaries on sabastical road stormwater could be directed into that roseland creek corridor stormwater retention basins could be implemented and stormwater could be helpful to recharging our aquifer in the southwest area it hasn't been talked much about by the elected officials in Santa Rosa their interests usually lie with development and they always see how can they get projects in that cover up the aquifer recharge area the processes it's a sad state of affairs that you okay thank you Gina appreciate you getting that up and running for us so that was the only public comment that we had on non-agenda items I do want to just comment and I don't believe Mr. Dewitt is on the zoom meeting this morning but you know the agency has is moving forward with a regional water supply resiliency study that's funded by the contractors and there will be more updates on that at future meetings and and stormwater capture and and potentially retention is is one of those items on that study so let's keep moving on then agenda item three is a recap of the December 7th 2020 tack meeting minutes and approval of the minutes so we're now taking public comments on this item if you wish to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand or if you're dialing via telephone hit star nine Gina you see any indication of any questions from the public I don't see any hands raised and I did not receive any email or voicemail on this item as well so I'm looking for a motion and a second from the tack if there are no other questions this is Jennifer Burke with Santa Rosa I'll move the approval of the minutes this is Craig Scott City of Cotate I will second that okay thanks Jennifer and Craig it's been motion and second to approve the meeting minutes with no changes uh Easter you got to do what could you do a roll call for me please City of Cotate yes City of Petaluma City of Burnett Park I City of Santa Rosa Jennifer Burke I City of Sonoma I Northburn Water District Drew McIntyre yes Town of Windsor Christina Goulart I Valley of the Moon Water District I'm not older it's agenda item number three unanimously approved thank you Easter moving on to agenda item number four tack finance subcommittee updates uh I just want to briefly uh let folks know some of the upcoming dates related to the review of the Sonoma County Water Agency's FY 22 water transmission system budget we according to Lynn Razzelli we should receive a draft budget and again that's going to the tack finance subcommittee by January 15th the subcommittee which consists of Kimberly Zunino who's the subcommittee chair thanks again Kimberly also includes representatives from Windsor Cotate North Marin and Marin Municipal that subcommittee group will be meeting with SCWA staff I believe on January 20th it's the first meeting in the afternoon to start reviewing the budget there will be an update by the subcommittee at the February 1 WACTAC meeting and there'll be review and recommendations to approve the budget by the tack at the March 1st meeting and then as has typically been done in the past Lynn Razzelli is making herself available during the month of March for any of those water contractors that would like to have a presentation with their boards so for the tack members please be sure to review your schedules in March and then start making outreach to Lynn Razzelli on trying to finalize some the dates during that month and then we have a special WAC meeting on April 6th to approve the water transmission system budget and then the agency will put it on their agenda for approval before the end of April so just kind of wanted to go over that timeline any questions from the tack on this true this is Colleen Ferguson with City of Sonoma I have a comment we had talked about having a Sonoma Valley representative on the finance subcommittee and I have not yet identified a name of someone from finance for City of Sonoma if I can't find someone from finance to step forward I would like to participate in those meetings to represent Sonoma Valley great good to hear thank you Colleen thank you otherwise known as Fergie any other questions from the tack on this item any questions from the public again if you'd like to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand or if you're participating by phone hit star nine Drew I'm not seeing any hands raised okay thank you Gina and I did not receive any earlier emails or voicemails on this on this item so we'll move to agenda item number five which is a our regular just review of water production relative to our 2013 benchmark so there's an attachment there and again I'd just like to thank all the water contractors for getting this information timely into the agency and especially I'd like to thank Paul Piazza and his group for continuing to put this together shows here we're getting close to the end of the calendar year so we've got 11 months worth of data here on year-to-date water usage and it's down 9% versus what it was in 2013 and then there's there are two charts the first chart just goes and shows the monthly variation and that also includes the gallons per capita per day and then the second chart just shows over time since the late 1990s again uh in orange showing our uh combined gallons per capita per day water usage and showing that that's significantly lower than it was over the last um couple decades so any questions from the tack on this item any I don't see anything from the tax or open this up for any comments from the public if you wish to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand or hit star nine on your phone sure I'm not seeing any raised hands thank you Gina uh let the meeting minutes reflect that there were no earlier comments that I received via email or voicemail on this agenda item so we're gonna move now to agenda item number six water supply conditions and temporary urgency change order and I believe this is going to be Don Seymour is that correct it was going to be but he lost power to his house so I just we just got a grant and I just got texts from him letting us know that he's not going to be able to do this because he was okay doing it um so I'm happy to provide an update it won't be as detailed as what Don would have provided but I'm happy to do it thank you Pam okay so um as far as water supply conditions go as of January 1st we are now in a normal water supply condition despite the fact that yes we are in my opinion in a drought so um our minimum stream flow requirements are higher than they were at the end of the month and um we are going to be working on a temporary urgency change petition to what we're already working on one to hopefully deal with that so um but just back to the condition itself um as I said because of the change in the water supply condition under our water rights permits and decision 1610 we did have to increase flows out of Lake Mendocino over the weekend in order to meet those minimum stream flow requirements we were kind of hoping that the rain we got last late last week would help out with that but it didn't really help a whole lot just wasn't enough so um we did increase flows out of Lake Mendocino on Saturday and um the lake is currently at about 28,000 acre feet which is pretty low it's making us pretty uncomfortable so um that's where we're at at Lake Mendocino Lake Sonoma is also for compared to the last few years is fairly low it's at 158,000 acre feet we have not done anything in terms of changing flows out of Lake Sonoma we did reduce the outflow a couple of weeks ago um but uh we're not we're not changing anything there right at this moment um but as I said um our our main concern right now is Lake Mendocino and storage levels at Lake Mendocino and because we have a much higher stream flow requirement that means that we're releasing more water than we would like to be out of Lake Mendocino and um hopefully this rain will help this week but um in any case uh we're we're working on a temporary urgency change petition to file with the state it's pretty unusual for us to file one in the winter time so um we have talked to the resource agencies to the um regional water board to the state board members or staff persons themselves um they are expecting us to file a petition uh we were gonna file it this week but I think um at this point we're looking at next week to file and um just sort of depending on what happens this week in terms of rainfall and whether or not we see any recovery um at Lake Mendocino in terms of storage um so that's where we're at right now the the petition itself will look very similar to the one that we filed in 20 now I've forgotten if it's 13 or 14 in the winter time um it essentially shifts the um the way we look at what the minimum stream flow requirement away from Lake Pillsbury and the Eel River to Lake Mendocino and the Russian River so um it looks at storage in Lake Mendocino in order to set the minimum stream flow requirement so if you do get you know into say February or March and we get a decent amount of rainfall and Lake Mendocino um starts to fill it will sort of self correct and put us back into a normal condition so um we we kind of see it as sort of a self-correcting way of of dealing with uh our concerns about storage in Lake Mendocino and stream flow requirements so uh we've shared um this information with the state water board they have all of the information that we've used before in prior petitions it's all new staff so they're not familiar with what we filed um many years ago now um but they um have have seen what we filed them at that time I think it makes sense to them um and it certainly is a good thing from sort of a self-correcting standpoint um since there is a lot of winter left and a lot of potential rainfall between now and st april so um we're hoping that it'll rain but in case it doesn't um we'll get this petition in and hopefully have a an order um soon thereafter I don't know how quickly they'll be able to turn it around but um hopefully by february at least I'm happy to answer any questions if there are any thank you Pam uh questions from the tack on Pam's report I don't see any questions uh just we do have a related item just um that we'd be talking about on then just in terms of public outreach messaging that we'll we'll get to um after we finish this agenda item seeing nothing from the tack I'd like to go ahead and open this up to public comment again this is on agenda item number six water supply conditions and temporary urgency change order if you're participating via zoom please raise your hand or if you're participating via phone you can hit star nine I don't see Gina any indication from the public on this I don't drew but we just realized we missed the um additional voicemail you sent over for 5a okay all right can we let's let's go ahead and go back to uh let's finish on agenda item number six so just let the record reflect there are no public comments received and I did not receive any uh voicemails or emails earlier on agenda item six and let's go back in uh my mistake on that let's play the one public comment that we received on uh agenda item number five and that's related to the 2020 water production and this is the same individual that made the comment on agenda item number two uh DeWayne DeWitt advisory committee meeting Monday January 4th 2021 comment on item five Sonoma Marin saving water partnership the sub title for this item a 2020 water production relative to 2013 benchmark is a curious topic here at the city hall in Santa Rosa where I see this announcement there's no um information to reference on what's going to occur with this because I'm here on the first weekend of the new year and it's sunny it makes me think that in this drought there needs to be a public outreach again that works with the residents of both Sonoma and Marin County to do water saving and to do innovative approaches such as uh rainwater barrels where people save their rainwater rainwater catch catchment systems stormwater retention basins things where the public can become involved I'm looking out across that landscaping at Santa Rosa City Hall where millions of dollars were spent to tear things out to put it in with a uh a new landscaping approach towards water saving techniques it shouldn't be just the government that's doing this with our taxpayers money there should be an approach in which we also show taxpayers how they can save money by participating in water saving techniques I'm confused at times by the whole way this technical advisory committee operates it's almost in secret thank you Gina so Mr. DeWitt's comments did um cut off there at the end uh so that was the only public comment that I had received on agenda item number five that ends up actually being a good segue we're now moving to uh agenda item number seven which is water supply conditions public outreach messaging uh for this year so um Paul you want to take this on please thank you Drew good morning everybody Paul Piazza with Sonoma Water um we convened a meeting of the water conservation subcommittee on Monday December 28th to take up the discussion of a wintertime water conservation campaign due to current low rainfall and reservoir levels and consensus was reached by the committee to move forward with uh social media campaign as the initial approach for addressing uh the current conditions um we'll be boosting that social media campaign with some dollars to make sure it's appearing regularly up at the upper portion of people's social media fees um Sonoma Water staff's working to finalize this series of social media posts based on input received by the partners uh they'll be ready for distribution on a share point or drop box site this week uh we're also putting together a pdf single page like a more complete list of water saving tips that'll be under the same banner and look as the social media campaign and that'll also be available for distribution to the partners for posting to websites uh initially or potentially developing as a mailer um the the direction we received at the subcommittee meeting uh was for the message for the social media campaign to be short and to the point and emphasize actions that customers can take to reduce water use so the group agreed on a phrase less rain means less water as a consistent message header with the different action provided to save water for each message in the series and linking to the partnership website for um additional information both in terms of water saving tips but also information about the variety of programs available for people to participate in to be able to save water whether through our rebate incentive programs or other information uh the website landing page for the partnership has been updated to provide a consistent message with um a link to be updated to the tscp info uh once that's appropriate in addition to the social media campaign the partners agreed to amplify the social media message by continuing with our already underway savings messages using a variety of techniques uh AMI billing software more traditional bill inserts website posts e-news blasts local radio and others um Sonoma water will be working to issue a press release regarding both the social media campaign and the upcoming tscp to being greater awareness to the public uh and in preparation for continued dry conditions and a potential escalation of our response actions I asked that each of the partners provide me with just a simple summary of their currently adopted shortage plan stages to ensure that an initial savings target if we want to move in that direction at a later date would work for all if needed so if you recall um in the past we've often gone to a 15% voluntary reduction target um it's kind of a first step to increase public awareness of the need to save we didn't um at the subcommittee meeting discuss implementing that at this stage but that we would um reassess uh any needed next steps by February and I know that there's been some discussion um to look at putting together a uh flow chart that kind of helps us anticipate uh the timing of uh how we look at our conservation messaging um during the winter months relative to the hydrologic conditions and all the variables that Sonoma water is monitoring um to assess whether additional actions are needed so um we'll be following up with the partners with uh that social media series uh within another day or two and uh hopefully we'll get a little rainfall in the coming weeks and be able to reassess whether by February we're going to need to take additional action um so that's how all I have to report from the meeting at this point I'm happy to take questions thanks paul questions from the tack on paul's report I don't see any questions from the tack so I would like paul I would like to thank you and the other uh agency staff for coordinating that meeting in the various water contractors the their subcommittee representatives to start working on this um you know winter outreach campaign and and uh you hit some various uh key actions that are coming forward and I guess uh over this next month as these various things roll out um we'll be able to see those and as well as what will be even as important as just that's kind of a check in and beginning of February just in terms of how conditions um have have uh how rainfall conditions have been so far in in January it's my understanding again paul you you were saying that there will be a press release it'll kind of be synced up when the temporary urgency change petition is filed is that correct yes that's correct and I haven't had a chance yet to talk with um with brad sherwood and bary dugan they were out in the last couple of weeks but uh we'll be working together in the next week or so to put the talking points together for uh press release as we have more information to share whether we go out separately providing a press release for just the social media campaign or the tcp I'd want to have a chance to talk with them first but we'll definitely be getting something out okay I think all of the all of the water contractors and obviously the agency will appreciate the importance of just having common messaging um you know is throughout our partnership area so there isn't any confusion and and um you know there's our customers are essentially kind of hearing similar messages throughout so again thanks thanks for your efforts on this paul and other agency staff uh let's let's go ahead and open this up for any comments from the public if you're participating by zoom please raise your hand or if you're on your phone hit star nine we'll take a brief pause for jenna to report out if there's anybody I'm not seeing any raised hands uh drew okay thanks jenna and let the meeting minutes reflect that I did not receive any earlier emails or voicemail messages on this topic agenda item number seven so we're now we're moving we're moving around along through here so we're agenda item number eight biological opinion status update and pam I believe that's you again that's me yep um hopefully everybody got the handout it had some really nice photos in it um so it's a little bit longer than it typically is but nonetheless um I'll just go through this briefly and then open it up in case anybody has any questions um start off with the fish flow project uh that's the fish flow habitat and water rights project which we are working on um a new draft EIR to be recirculated in um 2021 and uh there's really no changes there we do continue to work on that and um try to try to get a new draft ready to go um so that's where we're at on that on the dry creek habitat enhancement project I think a lot of the information in here was is the same from last month um construction out you know actual physical construction while on the project was completed in November of last year and uh Hanford completed the portions that they were supposed to complete um that were part of phase three and the remaining parts of phase three will be um the in-stream work that needs to be done by Hanford will be done between June 15th and October 15th of next year um they also um as was reported I think last month completed some maintenance work for us out there too during this construction last construction season um our staff has been very busy out there conducting physical and biological surveys on the new sites that were constructed um and maintained um and uh getting a feel for how they're functioning as well as um quantifying how much habitat is there to so that we can demonstrate compliance with the biological opinion um that uh dry creek as I think everybody knows is a pretty primary release site for hatchery fish coming out of warm springs hatchery including both coca and steelhead um so they do a lot of monitoring and dry creek um in the last um few weeks and last month or so they actually have observed um juveniles and during the fall of course it was more and summer it was more juveniles rearing in the features that were created or had been enhanced and recently they've been seeing spawning activity in some of those uh habitat features also so that's really great um as far as the work with the corgos this is for phases four through six of the project um we are currently reviewing 99 design drawings and preparing big bid packages um bid packages are they're hoping to bid the project and get out there and do some construction that summer with the option of doing some um at the remaining sites in 21 and 22 so um one of the best things I think that happened towards the end of last year was that we did execute the formal partner uh project partnership agreement with the core of engineers so this is an agreement that describes financial terms roles and responsibilities of the core portions of the of the projects which are again phases four through six and um the colonel down at the district signed the ppa on December 22nd so it's now executed at this point which is great that was a long time coming um as far as fish monitoring goes um they were able to complete almost all of the fish monitoring that's required in the biological opinion this last year the only piece of the fish monitoring they were unable to complete due to uh safety issues with covid was the beach saining down in estuary that normally takes place um but everything else was done there's a nice sort of uh list here of things that got done including um sampling and 66 tributaries capturing over 82 000 individual fish of which almost 70 000 were steelhead or salmon and um tagging helping to tag 30 000 fish at the um coho salmon had the coho salmon at the hatchery up at life's noma so um and again they did witness shinook and coho spawning in our newly created habitats um or enhanced habitats on dry creek this year and there's some photographs that you can take a look at including a guy who is floating doing a snorkel survey interesting photo um as far as the russian river estuary management project goes we did breach the estuary last physically went out and mechanically breached the estuary last week i think it was on wednesday they went out and did that um but the estuary closed again on saturday so um at least as of if i'm caught up on email which i'm not sure i am that was the last i heard was the estuary was closed again on saturday so um there's apparently um some pretty high um swells and um a lot of action going on out in the ocean right now so there's not um they're not sure that they'll be able to get back in if there's a needed breach with within the next couple weeks so um we'll just have to play that by year and as far as interim flow changes go i think i already covered that so um i think we're good there unless there's any questions thank you pam as always a good overview of all the various activities questions from the tack on pam's report pam um do you i got a couple questions do you or grant have any idea of what the target date is when the core is going to try to advertise the project for this summer on dry creek i'm hoping grant does because i have no idea no drew i don't um i can check in with dav manning and maybe get back to you on when that's targeted i think we were all waiting on the signature though that was the key so we know what will happen but i don't know the target date okay and then in the staff with the core i mean they're going to be doing all of the bid phase work etc for this project right because they're in the lead and is that done by uh local office staff then out of san francisco yeah quite a bit of it i'm not sure if they're pulling in the sacramento division folks but that's the beauty of this this is the federal side the three miles it's on the core obligation and we'll be providing coordination with them and the rights and easements and right away that was another huge one the milestone that we crossed last year so setting up pretty well okay great and that i have to just comment on the the fish monitoring i mean those the numbers when you see it here on print i mean that's pretty impressive 66 tributaries and over 80 000 individual fish i mean this isn't something that gets done on in a week or two obviously i mean this is a full court press and i particularly enjoyed the photo of uh the snorkely there in austin creek the perp with the purple pizzazz outfit there yeah okay i think it it does bear bear commenting though that uh with the fires last year the number of tributaries and the damage that had been uh done as a result is really quite a concern and so ironically dry creek became the main uh area for implanting fish coming out of the hatchery and uh we're going to do a lot more monitoring to determine what what the response actually is it's a it's an area of vulnerability and we're putting a lot of resources into determining what the response is going to be uh because you lose that many tributaries a lot of the environmental resources division um has spent a good deal of time out there so um i see dav manning is uh on the call and here's here's the up-to-date information the army core of engineers hoping to award the contract in june or july and yes all local core staff do the construction award and advertising okay thank you david thank you grant um uh mentioning the fire impacts there of the 66 tributaries you have any idea how many you know percentage wise greater than 50 percent or uh dav manning or greg portin anyone in environmental be able to talk about percentages there david if you heard uh the last conversation and we're able to respond perhaps you heard have the ability to do that right now uh if not you could text me and i can answer that i don't know what the percentage is but it's it's some of the significant ones that are high up and got the severe burns dav are you able to unmute and get on or not yeah i think i was able to unmute can you all hear me yes yes thanks uh so those 66 streams represent streams altered out the watershed not just the ones impacted by the fire the ones impacted by the fire um a pretty high proportion proportion more than 50 percent um you know had some level of impact i can pull out those figures uh in a few moments and i can text grant to get you the accurate number but it's a pretty high proportion of the streams that are in the dry creek watershed and the sub watershed that are very important for the fish so mill creek panya creek um felta creek those streams that are tributary to dry creek that are important for coho and steelhead uh we're pretty heavily impacted and they're being intensively monitored so the monitoring of the spire impacts and the monitoring of all of the streams in the basin are sort of two efforts uh we're focusing in intensely on some of the streams where fish are typically released uh for the co-program those tributaries but we're also continuing the work that looks at the watershed as a whole so streams beyond dry creek uh all up through the alexander valley um and the upper portion of the rush river basin as well thanks david so in addition to monitoring those those streams for impacts is there would there actually be some sort of uh corrective action work done or is it primarily a monitoring and and tracking effort at this point it's monitoring and tracking um the most important uh action that was taken was not releasing 25 thousand fish that were destined for those uh impacted tributary streams as a precautionary measure to avoid potentially uh harming those fish having the survival affected by the conditions this winter those fish were instead released into dry creek into the habitat that we've been creating through the biological opinion that's a very big deal you know before we started building those habitat features the resource agencies were not inclined to let us release that many fish into dry creek they're happily accepted the opportunity for those fish to go to dry creek now so the habitats played an important role as as a refuge but moving forward i think it's i think we have to see what kinds of effects on the habitat might occur you can't it's very costly and difficult to apply erosion control measures across you know very large areas of watershed so i think tracking the changes and making sure we target where we release those fish and we might make improvements to habitat based on the results of the monitoring work is is the direction of the future okay thank you david questions from the tack okay not seeing any other questions we'll move this for any questions comments from the public on this this is agenda item number eight biological opinion status update if you're participating via zoom please raise your hand or hit star nine if you're calling in by phone drew i don't see any hands raised for this item thank you gina and uh i did not receive any earlier emails or voicemails on this agenda item either so we're going to move to agenda item number nine potter valley project licensing update pam you're the star of the show here this morning yeah cool i'm just i'm just sitting here just loving watching the rainfall outside so anyways it's actually quite loud at my house so um uh as far as potter valley project work goes we are currently sort of in a holding pattern right now um we submitted responses to uh comments that were made on the interim um report that was submitted to FERC in september and then the follow-up meeting that happened um so there were comments that were due by um interested parties and we responded to those comments in mid december so that document um was filed with FERC and the next step in the process is that FERC will be releasing hopefully um a study plan determination in mid january so that study plan determination will really tell sonoma water and its partners um what it is that we have to do to get through the study phase of the integrated licensing process um so right now um there's a little bit of work being well not a little bit there's some work being done by the consultant teams that sort of a little bit outside of the integrated licensing process they're doing some work um looking at um sedimentation and and sediment management and a few other things um using some grant money that was obtained from the state um but as far as the integrated licensing process we're kind of we're waiting um it's about 10 days i think we have to wait now for the study plan determination to come out so that we can figure out exactly what we're going to do as partners um in the coming year um we we when we look at the the study process we we believe it's a two-year process um so there will be some some of the work done in one year and some work done in another year and um it won't all be done uh in 2021 so um so that's where we're at on that right now thanks pam any questions from the tack on pams report i don't see anybody raising their hands so let's move to public comments on agenda item number nine potter valley project relicensing update if you're participating via zoom please raise your hand or hit star nine if you're on a phone through i don't see any hands raised thank you gina um let the record reflect that i did not receive any earlier emails or voicemails on agenda item number nine agenda item number 10 which is emergency training coordination subcommittee update that was going to be handled by steven handcock with the agency uh he was not able to participate this morning so we're going to carry out we're going to carry this item over to the next regularly scheduled meeting so that'll be february one uh so we'll add this to the february one whack tack agenda um
