Common use of Adaptive Management Triggers Clause in Contracts

Adaptive Management Triggers. Trigger for Adaptive Management: For Metric 1 Cumulative Volume of Additional Flow, the trigger for adaptive management will be assessed every five years through a modeling process. The modeling process will include updating the historical model to incorporate the most recent five years of hydraulic data or by accessing an updated model from others. The model will be validated through comparison of simulated and publicly available observed Cosumnes River streamflow (or stage where streamflow data are not available) and groundwater level data. If the match between simulated and observed values is not within accepted professional standards, then the model will be recalibrated to improve the match. A trigger will occur if the modeled cumulative flow improvement at Twin Cities Road is below the milestone at the associated Program Year as described in Section 3.2.2.1, evaluated every five years. The modeling assessment will be completed within six months of the end of the year being analyzed. For Metric 2 Groundwater Elevations, a trigger will occur starting Program Year 15 if the five-year average fall groundwater elevation measured at MW-7 is below the comparison level established.
