1) Meet with Trust staff for program overview and project goal setting (i.e., kick-off meeting) and provide meeting notes with action items; 2) Provide refined plan to develop the remaining deliverables (#3 through #5) based on information from #1; 3) Create short, usable “policy-speak” from “science speak” summaries for major Pooled Monitoring topic areas for stream restoration; stormwater BMP efficiency and the impacts of changing rainfall, existing conditions, siting, sizing, etc.; ways to manage road salt, bacteria, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), and thermal impacts (these are in Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits and top of mind for our audience); optimizing sampling and monitoring; trade-offs for tree planting, living shorelines, invasive species, and stream restoration construction techniques (each summary/synthesis provided per topic will be one deliverable); 4) Deliver tools and information developed in #3 to audiences who need them and show them how to use them (each tool plus delivery will be one deliverable); 5) Proactively identify at least four additional audiences in consultation with and approval by Trust staff (either individuals or groups, at either the federal, state, or local level) who would benefit from these summaries if they knew they existed; and 6) Serve as on-call for 10 to 20 information requests from regulators, legislators, and/or policymakers (estimate two to four hours per request with each information request provided equal to one deliverable).
