Re: 2002 Cost Share BMP Implementation
Dear Commissioners:
An extensive budgeting process was completed in September 2001, as part of the
budgeting and Workplan drafting for the EPA FY2000 Grant. This budget was reviewed and
approved at the monthly meeting of the Columbia Basin GWMA Administrative Board held
on September 26, 2001. Because of the success of the cost share program in 2000, and 2001,
and because of the obvious need for Irrigation Water Management, and the Deep Soil
Sampling Education program, cost share for these programs is included as a major component
of the GWMA budget for 2002.
The Executive Board agreed that GWMA',; budget goal is to expend $136,853 in 2002
for the Deep Soil Sampling Education and Monitoring program. GWMA also has the budget
goal to expend $432,158 of its Grant funds to support and cost share Irrigation Water
Management. There also exists a need to extend and increase the amount allotted for
technical assistance from the Conservation Districts in support of Deep Soil Sampling and
Irrigation Water Monitoring. The Executive Board agreed to expend $105,000 for Technical
Assistance to the CD's in 2002, to defray their expenses in implementing these projects.
We are requesting a formal approval of this action from the Commissioners in the
form of a Resolution. Please notify me as soon as that has been accomplished. If you have
any questions regarding this project, please feel free to contact me. I would also be glad to
attend a Commissioner's Meeting to discuss these projects for 2002. Thank you for your help
in this matter.
Sincerely,
Lynn F. Hall
