AWRA's Policy Committee comprises water professionals and others with an interest in how public policy shapes our collective management of water resources. It is a diverse committee that includes scientists, educators, policy-makers, and other experts at all stages of their careers. For the 2013 Annual AWRA Meeting, the Policy Committee researched and analyzed several case studies involving flood and drought management, with a goal of identifying factors that promote or inhibit application of concepts of integrated water resources management in localities' plans for controlling or mitigating effects of extreme flows. The report examines local efforts by featuring eight case studies - four demonstrating management and response to flood, and four to drought. Each case study highlights the enabling environment, institutional roles, and management instruments that pertain to each case study, in a way that identifies factors that contribute to or inhibit a successful flood or drought management plan. The report analyzes the case studies to identify emerging themes, common trends, and lessons learned. Information in this report can serve as guidance on instruments and methods that might be applicable for localities that will in the future need to create and implement plans to mitigate or respond to conditions of extreme flows. It also provides additional resources that entities dealing with these water resource issues can consult in designing their management strategies. This presentation will describe the methods used to prepare the report, summarize the findings, and share recommendations that emerged from the analysis.

Additionally, Lisa Beutler (MWH, Sacramento, CA, co-author: E. Tsai) will discuss IWM & Flood Do the Disciplines need Marriage Counseling? The California Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently released a public draft of their report, California's Flood Future: Recommendations for Managing the State's Flood Risk. California's Flood Future provides the first look at statewide exposure to flood risk, and identifies and addresses the barriers to improved flood management. The report provides information intended to inform decisions about policies and financial investments to improve public safety, foster environmental stewardship, and support economic stability. Research used to develop California's Flood Future included gathering information from local, State and Federal agencies throughout California. More than 140 public agencies responsible for flood management provided information used to describe the problem and develop recommended solutions. In this session the presenters will discuss several products of the Flood Future report, the Integrated Flood Management Technical Memorandum and the California Water Plan Integrated Flood Resource Management Strategy. During the session Ms. Beutler will describe the policy approach to creating these documents and how the planning team worked with stakeholders to manage tension and strike a balance among what is often considered competing goals. The results are documents that outline flood management actions that can integrate flood management, ecosystem, water supply and water quality activities. A menu of promising management actions will be discussed that can be tailored to different situations.

Climate change triggered by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is an expanding area of research. Significant progress in water resource planning has been achieved using general circulation model projections since the publication of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007. Extensive work is occurring in the Pacific Northwest through state and federal agencies and university partnerships. Government agencies are grappling with how to protect water resources from these impacts and adapt to a changing climate. This panel is an opportunity to explore how federal government, local government, universities, and consulting firms are seeking and providing support and information to apply toward defensible decision-making.

On September 22, 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) completed consultation under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The proposed action for this consultation was the continued administration of the National Flood Insurance Program. NMFS provided its Opinion on the effects of the NFIP on listed species found within the Puget Sound region, which are Puget Sound (PS) Chinook salmon (Oncorhyncus tshawytscha), PS steelhead (O. mykiss), Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon (O. keta), Lake Ozette sockeye salmon (O. nerka) and the Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW) (Orcinus orca). NMFS concluded that the action, as proposed, is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the following salmon Evolutionary Significant Units (ESUs): PS Chinook salmon, Hood Canal summer-chum salmon, and PS steelhead. Implementation of the three NFIP components in the Puget Sound region is not likely to jeopardize Lake Ozette sockeye salmon. The NMFS also concludes that implementation of the NFIP is likely to destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitats of PS Chinook salmon, and Hood Canal summer-chum salmon. The NFIP is not likely to destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat of Lake Ozette sockeye salmon. After reviewing the current status of the endangered population of SRKWs, their critical habitat and the environmental baseline for the action area, the effects of the NFIP, and the cumulative effects, it is NMFS' Opinion that the NFIP is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of SRKWs and likely to adversely modify their critical habitat. This BiOp focused on three primary elements of the NFIP: 1) Floodplain mapping, 2) Floodplain development following fill, and 3) Levee Maintenance Issues. This panel will be comprised of local jurisdiction officials, land use attorneys, and federal agencies to discuss the ramifications of this action, what has taken place since 2008 and what the next steps will be to address floodplain protection as they relate to endangered species.

Resolving water management issues requires careful consideration of numerous organizations, differing values and goals, inter-related technical issues, and sometimes a politically-charged arena. Collaborative Modeling for Decision Support is an approach that weaves together conflict management with computer modeling, combining technical analyses with collaboration and traditional planning principles. It integrates science, policy, and societal values to aid discussion, help translate science, build and test hypotheses, and generate better solutions. The model-building process offers unique opportunities to test individual values and assumptions, bridge gaps between perceptions and science, and explore a wide range of "what-if" scenarios that can yield better understanding, better solutions, and better likelihood of supportable and implementable outcomes. The approach is invaluable in helping find technically-appropriate and politically-feasible solutions to multi-party water management issues. This panel provides an opportunity to hear from and engage with recognized experts who have long-standing experience in Collaborative Modeling for Decision Support. Panelists will highlight the lessons they have learned over decades of work with a variety of projects, focusing on what these lessons from the past imply for present efforts. Short news-style examples will illustrate key points. Opportunity will be provided for interchange between panelists and those in the audience, with a goal of providing insights that can lead to current efforts having greater impact.

In 2012, Oregon adopted its first statewide Integrated Water Resources Strategy, a blueprint for understanding and meeting Oregonfs water needs.instream and out]of]stream.now and into the future. Oregon took the unusual step of constructing a plan without waiting for a statewide drought, flood, litigation, or other crisis, unlike many other states. Also unique to Oregon, this Strategy departs from traditional water supply planning in that it incorporates water quantity, water quality, and ecosystem considerations.

The Oregon Water Resources Department led development of the Strategy, together with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Oregonfs tribes, public and private sector stakeholders, and state and federal agencies played a prominent role in identifying water]related challenges and solutions.

Using a process that involved extensive public outreach, the Strategy identifies the most critical waterrelated challenges facing communities throughout Oregon. It recommends more than forty actions to address these challenges. During the first year of implementation, the State and its partners are pursuing actions focused on improving surface water and groundwater data, facilitating local water planning and water supply development opportunities, advancing instream protections, and developing funding options to help local communities and state agencies meet their water]related responsibilities.

Following a brief overview of the Strategy, a panel of agency representatives and organizations will provide their perspectives on implementing a number of recommended actions.

In 1998 the Washington State Legislature launched a bold experiment in managing the State's water resources: the Watershed Planning Program (Chapter 90.82 RCW). The program offers State funding to local water resource planning groups comprising a range of stakeholders and organized around the State's 62 distinct hydrologic areas. These areas cut across political jurisdictions, offering new and creative opportunities to resolve water management issues. To receive funding, watershed planning groups had to address water quantity issues, and could also choose to address water quality, fish habitat and instream flows. Over the program's 15 years, local groups, working closely with Washington State's natural resource agencies, have developed and begun to implement a wide variety of water resource management solutions. This conference session will take stock of the original legislative intent and how it has been applied on the ground. Lessons learned from local groups will be reviewed, both in terms of the Washington State program and for application to integrated water resource planning in other states. In addition the session will explore how Washington State has managed the program through an era of severe budget cuts. Speakers will include one participant from the original legislative process that authorized the program, state agency managers who have been instrumental in administering the program, and local planning group representatives who will share their experiences. Attendees will gain an appreciation for the complexities and opportunities of real-world collaborative water resource planning across a varied terrain with a range of water supply and natural resource needs.

Special Session: Application of Ecosystem Services in Floodplain Management and Restoration Projects - Felix Kristanovich, Dr., Seattle, WA (co-authors: Bob Freitag, Greg Reub, Gretchen Greene, Mike Parton)

Floodplains are central to the provision of many ecosystem services. An ecosystem services approach is extremely valuable if used to understand the services that are provided in this environment and then to prioritize actions to protect and restore those services given social and monetary constraints. Recent work related to ecosystem services analysis frameworks is presented and offers floodplain managers means of fairly evaluating a host of environmental impacts and community benefits associated with management decisions. The ecosystem services approach enhances preparation for disaster planning and floodplain management over time. Investing wisely in ecosystem services solutions is economically, environmentally and socially important for future generations.

In the fourth presentation, Mike Parton will discuss Biological Component of Ecosystem Services in Floodplain Management. Floodplains provide important ecosystem services related to biological resources. This presentation will highlight examples from select salmon recovery plans in the western U.S. with explicit goals and objectives for floodplain habitats and a perspective that addresses a key question about salmon recovery.

One of the great uncertainties in the Columbia River Basin is the fate of the Columbia River Treaty between the United States and Canada. This will be one of two panels at the AWRA conference examining the Treaty, the reasons for uncertainty, and the potential for changes in the international cooperative management of the fourth largest river in North America. The Columbia River Treaty, first signed in 1961, is known throughout the world as a successful example of international cooperation in river management and the equitable sharing of benefits. The Treaty required the construction of three dams in the upper Columbia in British Columbia, and allowed the U.S. to construct Libby Dam on the Kootenai River. Treaty dams more than doubled reservoir storage in the basin, significantly increasing downstream hydropower generation and flood risk protection and providing billions of dollars in benefits. The Treaty includes a mechanism for the U.S. to share with Canada benefits realized in the U.S., largely through the delivery of power or its monetary value. Yet fifty years later there are also serious cracks in the Treaty edifice. Coordinated flood control operations come to an end automatically in 2024, replaced by an unusual "called upon" operation few have confidence in. Coordinated hydropower operations do not end, but the operations and the method for calculating the downstream benefits seem increasingly disconnected from how the region's power system has evolved. The benefits of using storage for coordinated generation and flood control have come at substantial costs to fish and wildlife and broader ecosystem functions, impacts not recognized or addressed in the Treaty. Native American Tribes in the U.S. and First Nations in Canada were not consulted regarding the effects of the Treaty on their natural and cultural resources, while in 2013 they are significant sovereign participants in decisions on both sides of the border. There has also been an explosion of public involvement in resource decision-making in both nations since 1960, also not part of the Treaty. The time is ripe to rethink the Columbia River Treaty and the form of international cooperation on the Columbia River. Not only does the assured flood control operation automatically end in 2024, the Treaty allows either nation to terminate the Treaty's coordinated power operations beginning in 2024, with at least 10-years notice. Continuation of the Treaty under the revised flood control rules or unilateral termination are the only alternatives recognized in the Treaty itself, but the context obviously also allows us an opportunity to craft a modified arrangement for cooperative management of the Columbia River. Led by the Bonneville Power Administration and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, federal, state, and tribal personnel are engaged in a multi-year review of the Treaty in the U.S. in an effort to shape a rough consensus by 2014 on the desired future of the international arrangement. The Province of British Columbia is leading a similar review. There are no negotiations yet between the two nations about the future of the Treaty, but perhaps by 2015?

Cities, irrigation districts, water and wastewater entities are actively developing hydropower generation within their existing pipeline or canal systems. This panel would discuss some of the new technologies that can be placed within existing systems, the multiple potential benefits of adding generation to facilities and current regulatory and Congressional changes that will enhance the environment for such development. An example of a statewide program (Energy Trust of Oregon) will offer a template for promoting these projects at a state level. Visual examples of projects developed and underway will be provided.

LID approaches for stormwater management have been utilized in many projects across the country during recent years. Although LID can provide significant benefits associated with flow control and treatment at a lower cost than traditional stormwater management approaches, there have been challenges and lessons learned on some projects. This panel includes LID industry leaders who will share their experiences and knowledge and address questions from the audience. Some of the topics addressed include: - Update on recent results from the WSU-Puyallup Low Impact Development Research Program; -Design of bioretention systems, including bioretention soil mix characteristics, and affects on treatment performance; -Lessons learned from LID implementation in Portland Oregon; -Lessons learned from implementation of LID in stormwater retrofit projects. The objective of this session is to help advance the practice of LID implementation across the country.

Pat Smith, Montana State Representative, Columbia River Treaty Review and Montana Member of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, Helena, MT

When the Columbia River Treaty (the Treaty) went into effect in 1964, it included provisions to build storage in the upper Columbia River drainage (mostly in British Columbia) and use that storage to dampen peak flows that had, historically, caused flooding along the lower Columbia River. The Treaty included a one-time payment of 67 million dollars to compensate British Columbia for flood control through 2024. Lacking a reauthorization of that part of the Treaty, there will be significant changes in flood risk management of the upper river and its tributaries. Of these, two stand out. First, the U.S. will be required to exhaust all of its upper basin (e.g., Snake, Clark Fork / Flathead, and Kootenai rivers) storage capacity before asking Canadian utilities to hold back flow. Second, when the so called "called upon" storage is implemented in Canada, U.S. entities must compensate those utilities for any loss of revenue associated with the storing of that water. The first panel on the Columbia River Treaty focused on the policy implications surrounding Treaty renegotiation. The speakers on this second panel will examine some of the more technical issues surrounding changes in upstream storage policies in the U.S. and consider some alternatives that might be incorporated into a renegotiated Treaty. Topics to be discussed will include: the effect of changing storage requirements on the availability of water for fisheries management and irrigation; the impact of storage changes in the recreational use of reservoirs and rivers; and how continued basin-wide management can alleviate many of the anticipated problems.
