Trinity
River Adaptive Management Working Group
(TAMWG)
The purpose of the Trinity River Restoration Program is to restore the
Trinity River basin's fish and wildlife populations to those that existed
prior to construction of the Trinity River Diversion and to implement
measures to restore fish and wildlife habitat in the basin. The Implementation
Plan for the Preferred Alternative of the Trinity River Environmental
Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report established an Adaptive
Environmental Assessment and Management
(AEAM) organization to design and direct monitoring
and restoration activities in the Trinity River Basin and to provide
recommendations for flow modifications, if necessary. As part of the
AEAM organization, the Working Group provides an opportunity for stakeholders
to give policy and management advice about restoration efforts. The
Working Group will review and make recommendations that are being considered
for implementation by the other parts of the AEAM. Recommendations submitted
by the Working Group will be with regard to restoration activities identified
as necessary to restore the Trinity River. Included as part of these
recommendations is review of policy matters, technical issues, annual
flow schedules, and Requests For Proposals
(RFP’s) for implementation activities as they
relate to achieving restoration goals. Stakeholders will have an opportunity
to submit alternative hypotheses (alternative methods and strategies)
and/or alternative restoration actions to the Trinity Management Council
for consideration.
