Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve Ephemeral Streamflow and Groundwater Monitoring Year 2 Scope of Work with JE Fuller Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc., in the amount of $83,884 for additional ephemeral stream flow and groundwater monitoring at Horseshoe Draw, Palominas, Riverstone Ranch, and Bella Vista Ranch.

 

Background:

A monitoring network using remote stilling well stations was proposed and put in place for several stream channels within the Sierra Vista Subwatershed of the Upper San Pedro River. The network will monitor stream flow for a period of time prior to the design and construction of additional groundwater recharge facilities intended to capture stormwater runoff. This allows for better estimation of stream flow characteristics in response to precipitation and improves predictions of potential available groundwater recharge volumes. On June 27th the FCD Board approved grant agreement number AZFO-170530 between The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Cochise County Flood Control District for additional recharge monitoring for the Ephemeral Stream Flow Monitoring and Palominas Recharge Projects in the amount of $92,000 for the period of June 27, 2017 through June 15, 2019 plus matching funds from the FCD.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

 Staff will coordinate with JE Fuller to start implementation of the Ephemeral Streamflow Monitoring Project.
 

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

If not approved, the FCD will not pursue the Ephemeral Streamflow Monitoring Project and grant monies will have to be returned.
