Describe any computer models, management practices, specialized testing, or other extraordinary methods and materials that will be implemented or used as part of this project.
ANSWER:
List any permits, approvals, or design standards that must be obtained/met before the project can be implemented. (All grant recipients will be required to certify prior to final disbursement that they have obtained all necessary permits and approvals required to construct their projects.)
ANSWER:
describe any other projects, either ones that you have implemented or another entity has implemented that are similar to the one being proposed and what the outcomes/results were at reducing bacterial contamination at the beach. Include, if known, data supporting the reduction and elimination of beach postings and/or closures from these projects.
ANSWER:
Is this a phased project or part of a larger project effort? Please explain the objectives, framework, and scheduling for the larger project. Note whether there is a commitment to complete the entire project and how that commitment is structured (e.g., Memorandum of Understanding or a Joint Powers Agreement).
ANSWER: Select OnePHASED PROJECTPART OF LARGER PROJECT EFFORT
If you answered "YES", please elaborate.
provide an outline of a quality assurance project plan and monitoring plan. Include a general description of quality assurance procedures, location of sampling sites, frequency of sampling, duration of sampling period, depth of sampling, and data analysis techniques. The outline must include a summary of the rationale behind the sampling plan to explain how the monitoring plan will determine project effectiveness.

ANSWER:
Describe anticipated future work that may require funding. Include: 1. follow-up activities upon project completion and 2. planned future activities with watershed stakeholders within the project watershed, such as additional phased projects, continued monitoring and maintenance, development of geographic information systems (GIS), and land resource planning.
ANSWER:
indicate if this project is implementing a total maximum daily load.
ANSWER: Select OneYesNo
If you answered “YES”, provide further description of these activities.
Identify the applicable TMDL by name, and if applicable, cite the RWQCB resolution number that established the TMDL.
ANSWER:
RWQCB RESOLUTION NUMBER(S):
Identify the steps that will be taken to achieve TMDL implementation.
ANSWER:
When is full conformity with the load allocations in the TMDL anticipated?
ANSWER:
If only some of the allocations in a TMDL are addressed by the proposed work, identify which allocations are applicable.
ANSWER:
Provide the status of all environmental documents required for the project. All projects that require CEQA compliance will be allowed to use funds for reimbursement of CEQA costs. The amount budgeted should be consistent with the size and complexity of the project. Work that is subject to CEQA shall not proceed until the SWRCB has received documents that satisfy the CEQA process and the SWRCB has approved a grant commitment for the project. If draft CEQA documents are available, the project applicant should attach those. The applicant should send 2 copies of the final environmental document to the SWRCB and 15 copies to the State Clearinghouse.
