TRES RIOS DEL NORTE FEASIBILITY STUDY
PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
CHAPTER I - PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1. PROJECT PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to provide water resource/ecosystem improvements within
the Santa Cruz River, referred to as the Tres Rios Del Norte Project. Pima County, the City of
Tucson, and the Town of Marana (non-Federal sponsors) are in support of a project to provide
water resource improvements, ecosystem restoration, and other related outputs that may accrue
to project implementation. Further, the sponsors have had significant involvement to this point
in identifying the available information and developing potential project alternatives, as
discussed in Chapter II of this PMP.
2. DEFINITION OF A PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN:
a. The Project Management Plan (PMP) is an attachment to the Feasibility Cost Sharing
Agreement (FCSA), which defines the planning approach, activities to be accomplished,
schedule, and associated costs that the Federal Government and the local sponsor(s) will be
supporting financially. The PMP therefore defines a contract between the Corps and the non-
Federal sponsor(s), and reflects concurrence on the part of the cost-sharing partners that are
performing and reviewing the activities involved in the feasibility study.
b. The PMP should be considered a living document. Because planning is an iterative
process without a predetermined outcome, changes may be associated with reformulation and
evaluations of the alternatives. With clear descriptions ofthe scopes and assumptions outlined in
the PMP, deviations are easier to identify. The impacts to time or funding would be assessed and
decisions would be made on how to proceed. The PMP provides the basis for any changes.
c. The PMP provides the scope for the review and evaluation of the feasibility report.
Since the PMP represents a contract among study participants, it will be used as the basis to
determine if the draft feasibility report has been developed in accordance with established
procedures and previous agreements. The PMP reflects mutual agreements of the District,
Division, Sponsors, and HQUSACE of the scope, critical assumptions, methodologies, and level
of detail for the studies that are to be conducted during the feasibility study. Review of the draft
report will occur to insure that the study has been developed consistent with these agreements.
The objective is to provide early assurance that the project is developed in a way that is
supported by Corps planning guidance.
d. The PMP is a study management tool. It includes scopes of work that are used for
funds allocation by the Project Manager. It forms the basis for identifying commitments to the
non-Federal sponsor and serves as a basis for performance measurement.

CHAPTER II
SECTION 905(8) (WRDA) ANALYSIS
TRES RIOS DEL NORTE FEASIBILITY STUDY
PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA
1. STUDY AUTHORITY
This study has been conducted under two separate authorities provided by Congress. The first
and most recent authority is provided by House Resolution 2425 (HR 2425), dated May 17,
1994. HR 2425 states:
"... the Secretary of the Army is requested to review reports of the Chief of Engineers on
the State of Arizona... in the interest offlood damage reduction, environmental protection
and restoration and related purposes. "
The second authority is given in Public Law 761, Seventy-fifth Congress, known as Section 6 of
the Flood Control Act of 1938. This authority, dated June 28, 1938, states:
"the Secretary of War (now Secretary of the Army) is hereby authorized and directed to
cause preliminary examinations and surveys. . . at the following localities: . . . Gila
River and tributaries, Arizona ... "
The Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-60, dated
September 29, 1999 which states: "The Committee recommendation includes $100,000 for the
Corps of Engineers to evaluate opportunities for environmental restoration and related matters in
Pima County, Arizona. This study is to proceed with particular reference to recommendations
and findings included in the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, Pima County, Arizona, dated
October 21,1998."
2. STUDY PURPOSE
This 905(b) Analysis is to be used as the basis for making the decision to proceed, or not to
proceed, into the feasibility phase. The 905(b) Analysis is one of the requirements to complete
the reconnaissance phase, before the feasibility phase can be initiated. Overall, the
reconnaissance phase for this study is intended to accomplish the following six tasks:
a. Determine if the water resources problems warrant Corps participation in feasibility
studies. The comprehensive review and analysis of the problems would be conducted during the
feasibility phase.
b. Define the Corps interest based upon a preliminary appraisal of identified potential
problems and opportunities.

II-I
c. Complete a 905(b) Analysis (Reconnaissance Report).
d. Prepare a Project Management Plan (PMP) for the feasibility phase.
e. Negotiate and execute a Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreement (FCSA).
f. Assess the level of interest and support from non-federal entities in the cost sharing of
Feasibility phase and construction.
In response to the study authority, the reconnaissance study was initiated February 2000. The
reconnaissance study has resulted in the finding that there is a Federal interest in continuing the
study into the feasibility phase. The purpose of this Section 905(b) (WRDA) Analysis is to
document the basis for this finding and establish the scope of the feasibility phase. As the
document that establishes the scope of the feasibility study, the Section 905(b) Analysis is used
as the chapter of the Project Study Plan that presents the reconnaissance overview and
formulation rationale.
3. LOCATION OF STUDY, NON-FEDERAL SPONSORS AND CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICTS
a. The study area is located in the upper Sonoran Desert in the Santa Cruz River
Watershed. Pima County is part of the Santa Cruz River Watershed, and the Town of Marana
and City of Tucson are located in Pima County. At the conclusion of the study, a specific project
site was identified with the local sponsors. This site is called Tres Rios Del Norte, on the Santa
Cruz River, from Prince Road to Sanders Road, approximately 18 miles. Study area map is
included as Enclosure A.
b. The non-Federal sponsors for the feasibility phase ofthe study are Pima County, the
Town of Marana, and City of Tucson, Arizona.
c. The study area lies within the jurisdiction of the following Congressional Districts:
District 2 - Ed Pastor and District 5 - Jim Kolbe.
4. PRIOR REPORTS AND EXISTING PROJECTS

5. PLAN FORMULATION
During a study, six planning steps that are set forth in the Water Resource Council's Principles
and Guidelines are repeated to focus the planning effort and eventually to select and recommend
a plan for authorization. The six planning steps are: 1) specify problems and opportunities, 2)
inventory and forecast conditions, 3) formulate alternative plans, 4) evaluate effects of
alternative plans, 5) compare alternative plans, and 6) select recommended plan. The iterations
of the planning steps typically differ in the emphasis that is placed on each of the steps. In the
early iterations, those conducted during the reconnaissance phase, the step of specifying
problems and opportunities is emphasized. The sub-paragraphs that follow present the results of
the initial iterations conducted during the reconnaissance phase. This information will be refined
in future iterations of the planning steps that will be accomplished during the feasibility phase.
a. National Objectives
1) The national or Federal objective of water and related land resources planning is
to contribute to national economic development consistent with protecting the nation's
environment, pursuant to national environmental statures, applicable executive orders, and other
Tres Rios Del Norte Feasibility Study
Pima County, Arizona
Project Management Plan
August 200 I
II-3
Federal planning requirements. Contributions to national economic development (NED) are
increases in the net value of the national output of goods and services, expressed in monetary
units. Contributions to NED are the direct net benefits that accrue in the planning area and the
rest of the nation.
2) The Corps has added a second national objective for Ecosystem Restoration in
response to legislation and administration policy. This objective is to contribute to the nation's
ecosystems through ecosystem restoration, with contributions measured by changes in the
amounts and values of habitat.
3) Executive Order 1298 (February 11, 1994) directs the Corps to address local
concerns regarding the proximity of polluted and environmentally degraded areas to
economically depressed neighborhoods and communities.
b. Public Concerns: As voiced in Pima County Public Meetings and local newspaper
articles, local citizens are concerned about:
1) Restoration of riparian habitat along the stream courses and tributaries of Pima
County .
2) Public safety as it relates to flood protection and control.
3) Use and allocation of multiple water sources.
c. Problems and Opportunities: The evaluation of public concerns often reflects a range
of needs, which are perceived by the public. This section describes these needs in the context of
problems and opportunities that can be addressed through water and related land resource
management. The problems and opportunities that have been identified within the study area
are:
Degraded river, washes, and adjacent over bank areas, due to upstream
development, and modified stream morphology, has significantly reduced native
riparian plant species and wildlife habitat. Perennial base flow conditions, critical
to the needs of native plants, no longer exist in the river/wash corridors through
the study area. In the absence of precipitation-generated flows, existing flows are
effluent dominated.
. Due to the groundwater development during the last 50 years, the average depths
to groundwater have declined below the root zone of most riparian vegetation.
Lack of a natural flood regime. These changes in the river/wash system have
impacted the surface/groundwater interactions and sedimentation dynamics that
are important for sustaining and regenerating riparian vegetation.
. Land use changes, including landfills and sand and gravel mining, have degraded
and are contributing towards continued degradation of the river corridor.

-
,...-,.,.
. Unsuitable existing bank conditions exist at many locations. Manmade bank
changes have resulted in a degraded but stable bank in many locations. Some
locations, including residential areas, have been significantly impacted by
increased flood flows.
There is an opportunity to create new water bodies or to take advantage of
existing water bodies, in the river and adjacent properties, as potential restoration
sites.
. Utilize discharges from the Roger Road and Ina Road Wastewater Treatment
Plants to supplement periodic natural surface water flows for restoration and other
needs.
. There is an opportunity to link other upstream projects and contributing tributaries
to provide a continuous restoration and flood control corridor. These would
include the proposed Paseo de las Iglesias and Rio Nuevo projects on the Santa
Cruz River and proposed El Rio Antiquo on the Rillito River.
Contributing interior drainages lack current hydrology information at all
discharge points into the Santa Cruz River. Adequate points of disposals do not
exist at many interior drainage discharge locations.
. The opportunity exists to increase capacity for unmet recreation demand and
environmental education associated with the existing river corridor. As
agricultural land near the river is converted to residential, the need for recreation
will increase.
Existing cultural resources need protection from erosion and vandalism.
. The extent and significance of existing cultural resources is unknown.
d. Planning Objectives: The national objectives of NED and National Ecosystem
Restoration (NER) are general statements and not specific enough for direct use in plan
formulation. The water and related land resource problems and opportunities identified in this
study are stated as specific planning objectives to provide focus for the formulation of
alternatives. These planning objectives reflect the problems and opportunities and represent
desired positive changes in the without project conditions. The planning objectives are specified
as follows:
. Increase native riparian plant and wildlife habitat values, diversity, and functions
in Pima County for a period of 50 years. Elements of diversity include
establishing multiple native riparian plant species, providing sufficient open space
for wildlife, and providing water features for wildlife and aquatic species.
Tres Rios Del Norte Feasibility Study
Pima County, Arizona
Project Management Plan
August 2001
II-5
.
Increase habitat value and function of native plant and wildlife species identified
in the draft Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan.
.
Attract wetland and riparian avian species identified in the draft Sonoran Desert
Conservation Plan.
Facilitate wildlife movements for species identified in the draft Sonoran Desert
Conservation Plan.
. Establish the presence of amphibian species, reptilian species, mammalian
species, and avian species in the study area.
Suppress undesirable and nonnative fish and wildlife species.
. Control or manage non-native, invasive plant species in the study area.
Maintain flood control along existing protected reaches.
. Restore natural flow paths.
. Evaluate additional water supply.
e. Planning Constraints: Unlike planning objectives that represent desired positive
changes, planning constraints represent restrictions that should not be violated. The planning
constraints identified in this study are as follows:
. Coordination required with FAA to minimize bird strikes within 5-mile radius of
airports. The FAA has regulations that oppose open water within 10,000 feet of
the airport operational taxiway. In addition, keep aviation safety a priority within
a 5-mile radius of the airport.
. Existing federal, state, county, tribal and private land ownership, including sand
and gravel ownership and leases, will impact real estate appraisals and
acquisitions.
. Existing federal, state, county, tribal and private water laws, and agreements will
impact plan formulation and implementation.
Landfills and associated issues will need to be incorporated into plan formulation
efforts so that alternatives do not alter the migration of existing contamination
plumes from landfills and do not increase leachate from existing landfills.
. The State of Arizona Water Code will guide the uses for which water may be
used.
Ensure the project does not impact the safety of existing bridges.

· Incorporate vector control into the design, operation, and maintenance aspects of
the project. The introduction of water bodies could provide increased
opportunities for mosquito breeding.
Identify and off set any increase in flood hazard to private property that results
from project activities.
· Minimize potential damage to restored habitat areas due to flood flows.
Restoration features should benefit from, or take advantage of the infrequent flood
flows, towards self-sustaining regeneration and recruitment from restored seed
sources.
Restoration features and implementation must be compatible with continued
operation of sand and gravel mining in the river corridor.
. Proposed project must have strong public support.
Proposed project must take into account ownership/control of effluent and surface
water rights.
f. Measures to Address Identified Planning Objectives. A management measure is a
feature or activity at a site, which address one or more of the planning objectives. A wide variety
of measures was considered, some of which were found to be infeasible due to technical,
economic, or environmental constraints. Each measure was assessed and a determination made
regarding whether it should be retained in the formulation of alternative plans. The descriptions
and results of the evaluations of the measures considered in this study are presented below:
1) No Action: The Corps is required to consider the option of "No Action" as one of
the alternatives in order to comply with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEP A). No Action assumes that no project would be implemented by the Federal
Government or by local interests to achieve the planning objectives. No Action, which is
synonymous with the Without Project Condition, forms the basis from which all other alternative
plans are measured.
2) Develop Water Supply: A water supply and distribution system will be
formulated as part of the feasibility study. The system is required in order to return some form
of surface (base flow) and groundwater hydrology to the river, as required to support the other
objectives. Potential sources of water supply include discharges from the Roger Road and Ina
Road Wastewater Treatment Plants, storm-drains and other interior drainage tributaries.
Therefore, human intervention and infrastructure measures will be required in order to re-
establish base flow conditions.
3) Create Mesquite Bosque: Mesquite trees would be established at higher elevations
from the river bottom. These areas would include terraces and over-bank areas. Low-water use
irrigation or site conditions would need to be implemented in order to establish and maintain the
Tres Rios Del Norte Feasibility Study
Pima County, Arizona
Project Management Plan
August 2001
1I-7
mesquite trees. Once established, mesquite trees are expected to not require continuous water
supply or maintenance.
4) Cottonwood/Willow Gallery: Plant and establish cottonwood and willow tree
plant communities along the wetted perimeter, fringe area locations within the river. The
adjacent fringe areas where the plants would be established include the areas around existing
water areas, created wetlands and flowing water.
5) Wetlands/Cienega Creation: Wetlands/cienega would be established at
appropriate locations, in order to create a diverse and high value project habitat. Appropriate
locations for wetlands would be determined during the feasibility phase, but typically involve
river backwater areas, ponded water locations, or previously occurring natural springs.
6) IncOI:porate Existing Ponds: Utilize existing open water area, created by
abandoned gravel mining operations, to create habitat and recreation areas. The habitat and
recreation would take advantage of the existing open water value to further increase project
outputs.
7) Create Base Flow: This feature will return a perennial environment to the study
area. This linear feature would also support appropriate plant and aquatic communities.
8) Vector Control: Incorporate mosquito control measures as an integral part of the
selected plan design and maintenance.
9) Clean-Up: Clean-up debris and reshape the bank and channel, where manmade
changes have occurred, to create a suitable restoration substrate. This is expected to be site
specific and details determined during the feasibility phase.
10) Levee/Channel: Evaluate flood control levees and/or channel improvements to
improve conveyance capacity at flood problem locations.
11) Recreational Corridor: Incorporate trails and other passive recreational features in
support of the other restoration management measures. In addition to trails, these features may
include access locations, signage, and comfort stations to support eco-recreation activities.
12) Cultural Mitigation: Incorporate cultural resources mitigation features, if
feasibility analysis determines cultural mitigation is required as part of the recommended plan.
13) Restore Desertscrub Community: Re-establish desertscrub plant communities
along the degraded upland portions of the river corridor, emphasizing saltbush-wolfberryand
mesquite associations as components.
14) Flood Control Element: Bank protection at locations of the Santa Cruz River. The
reach of interest runs from Prince Rd. to the south to Sanders Rd. to the north.
15) Improve physical and chemical conditions of existing flows.

g. Preliminary Plans. Preliminary plans are comprised of one or more management
measures that survived the initial screening. The descriptions and results of the evaluations of
the preliminary plans that were considered in this study are presented below:
1) Preliminary Plans Eliminated from Further Consideration. The District will not
develop single purpose flood control alternatives for this study.
2) Preliminary Plans for further Consideration. The District, in coordination with
the local sponsors and resource agencies have identified a study area that provides the best
opportunities for implementation of ecosystem restoration and other water resources related
benefits. The study area is called Tres Rios Del Norte on the Santa Cruz River.
Tres Rios Del Norte is located on the Santa Cruz River roughly from Prince Road to Sanders
Road. This reach is North of the existing Metropolitan area and includes the confluences of the
Rillito River and Canada del Oro Wash with the Santa Cruz River, hence Tres Rios del Norte.
This reach is 18 miles long. The study area is in the urban/rural interface and inside the rapidly
growing Town of Marana and the City of Tucson. Study area map is included as Enclosure A.
The Santa Cruz River is dominated by effluent discharges from the Roger Road and Ina Road
WWTPs. The plants have approximate release flows of 40 and 30 mgd, respectively. Allocation
of the effluent for various purposes (i.e., municipal & industrial, agriculture, fish, & wildlife) is
currently being negotiated. The opportunity exists to formulate a multi-purpose ecosystem
restoration project to include flood control, recreation, and water supply benefits.
3) Alternatives will be developed and analyzed combining the measures identified in
"Measure to Address Planning Objectives." Different combinations of the restoration
management measures will be selected based on appropriate site selection characteristics and
physical parameters. The District will perform Incremental Cost Effectiveness Analysis (ICA)
on the management measures and associated alternatives in order to determine the most cost
effective combinations and the "best buy" plans. Software such as IWR-Plan will be utilized to
perform the ICA. The results will compare project benefits of the various measures and
alternatives to the incremental costs.
The restoration benefits of the alternatives will be established in terms of "functional values"
utilizing the Hydro-Geomorphic Assessment method (HGM). The HGM method results will
quantify and establish the without project and with-project physical parameters and functional
values of the locations to be restored in the study area. The HGM functional assessment
provides valuable sensitivity analysis to help select which physical parameters would be most
beneficial to restore. The District will also estimate the cost of the measures and alternatives as
input data for the leA.
h. Conclusions from the Preliminary Screening. The conclusions from the preliminary
screening form the basis for the next iteration of the planning steps that will be conducted in the
feasibility phase. The likely array of alternatives that will be considered in the next iteration
includes different combinations of the independent and mutually exclusive management
Tres Rios Del Norte Feasibility Study
Pima County, Arizona
Project Management Plan
August 2001
II-9
measures. A management measure may be evaluated as a stand-alone plan or it may be
combined with other management measures as part of a larger, more comprehensive alternative.
The potential magnitude and types of benefits from the proposed actions would be compared to
the costs of implementing such actions. The benefits for the alternatives will include non-
monetary ecosystem and environmental restoration habitat values, monetary flood inundation
reduction benefits, and monetary recreation benefits. The environmental effects of potential
measures will be quantified and described both in terms of their positive and negative impacts.
Negative impacts would include potential mitigation measures. Costs and benefits of the
alternatives would examine variables such as the spatial extent of the measures (area, location),
types of habitat (cottonwood, mesquite, wetlands), the density of the restoration measures
(plants/acre), and the temporal aspects of benefit accrual. The temporal analysis will assume a
50-year period of analysis and alternatives evaluated with respect to maximizing average annual
benefits over the period of analysis.
6. FEDERAL INTEREST
Since environmental restoration is an output with a high budget priority and that is the primary
output of the alternatives to be evaluated in the feasibility phase, there is a strong Federal interest
in conducting the feasibility study. There is also a Federal interest in other related outputs of the
alternatives including flood damage reduction recreation and water quality that could be
developed within existing policy. Based on the preliminary screening of alternatives, there
appears to be potential project alternatives that would be consistent with Army policies, costs,
benefits, and environmental impacts.
The ecosystem restoration resources have been identified as being very significant in terms of
their institutional, public and technical importance. Due to their significance, these resources
will likely have a material and influential bearing on the decision process. Although the
resources will be located geographically within the study area, their importance is expected to be
recognized outside of the study area at a regional and national perspective. The details of the
resource significance will be presented in the feasibility report.
7. PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As the local sponsors, the Town of Marana and the City of Tucson and Pima County Flood
Control District will be required to provide 50 percent of the cost of the feasibility phase. The
local sponsors are also aware of the cost sharing requirements for potential project
implementation.

8. ASSUMPTIONS AND EXCEPTIONS:
Feasibility Phase Assumptions: The following critical assumptions will provide a basis for the
feasibility study:
a. Without Project Conditions:
In the absence of future actions towards a restoration project, there would be a serious problem
with continuing interference to the river corridor. This interference would be due to human
intervention and activities associated with developmental activities. While this would further
degrade the habitat, more importantly, it could prevent future restoration from being practical,
feasible or cost effective.
b. Streamlining Initiatives:
The study will be conducted in accordance with the Principles and Guidelines and the Corps of
Engineers regulations. Exceptions to established guidance have been identified that will
streamline the feasibility study process that will not adversely impact the quality ofthe feasibility
study. Approval of the Section 905(b) Analysis by HQUSACE results in the approval of these
streamlining initiatives.
1) The feasibility schedule is being prepared and scoped as required to produce a
final report decision document in order for the report recommendations to be considered for
authorization in the soonest Water Resources Development Act that is practicable. With
consideration of required analysis and process, this would make the final report available for
Washington level decision makers in the anticipated WRDA 2004 legislation. The schedule is
based upon optimum resource conditions study scope (manpower, funding, both Federal and
non-Federal) that mayor may not be realized.
2) Hydrologic information will utilize the Santa Cruz Rive discharge-frequency
information from the Santa Cruz River Watershed feasibility study. The information will only
need to be updated to include the most recent period of record and interior drainage estimates for
the study area.
3) Existing inundation damages will not be assessed for the entire study area.
Inundation damage analysis will be focused on those areas where existing flooding problems are
the greatest.
4) Public involvement, stakeholder input, and use of "expert panels" will be
extensions and continuations of those that were initiated and utilized during the draft Sonoran
Desert Conservation Plan and Santa Cruz River Watershed Feasibility studies.

JAB02: Hydraulic Studies
General: The following Hydraulics Section documentation and cost support information focuses
on a river restoration study proposed for a reach of the Santa Cruz River located within the City
of Tucson and the Town of Marana and in Pima County, Arizona. The 18-mile study reach is
bounded on the south (upstream) by Prince Road and by Sanders Road at the downstream limit.
The primary goal of this multi-purpose study is the enhancement of the Santa Cruz River in order
to support riparian habitat and its associated wildlife. The study involves structural and non-
structural flood/erosion control, groundwater recharge, effluent management, ecosystem
restoration, and a parks/trails system. This study reach has numerous existing and abandoned
gravel mining operations. In addition, there are numerous river bank protection needs along
reaches of the Santa Cruz River in following areas: 1) in the vicinity of Continental Ranch; 2)
along the west bank between Sunset Road to Ina Road; and 3) along the east bank of the of the
channel from Rillito River to Canada del Oro Wash. The Roger Road and Ina Road wastewater
treatment plants and effluent must be considered and addressed in developing and evaluating
alternatives. The hydraulic task descriptions and associated cost estimates were developed from
information presented in the Pima County, Arizona Reconnaissance Phase Study (Tres Rios Del
Note, Santa Cruz River) 905b Analysis. In addition, the development of subject information is
consistent with the guidance and criteria as set forth in ER 1110-2-1150 "Engineering and
Design for Civil Works Projects" (31 August 1999).
The hydraulic work for this task will be performed through the use of the GEO-RAS/HEC-RAS
computer modeling programs and other accepted hydraulic practices typical for the study area.
The work will be performed or overseen by the Los Angeles District Hydraulics Engineering
Section. The end product for the Hydraulics Engineering Task will be to incorporate the
information obtained from the subtasks listed below into a Hydraulic Engineering Appendix to
the final feasibility report.

JAB02.C.l: Initial Channel Stability Analysis: An initial channel stability analysis
will be performed by the sponsor for consideration and inclusion in the without
project (existing) condition. The level of detail will be sufficient to identify problem
areas for consideration in plan formulation of the alternatives. The effort will form an
overall or generalized baseline condition model that will be expanded upon by the
Corps in performing the channel stability analysis for the recommended plan as
detailed under JAB02.C.
JAB02.D: With Project Alternative Analyses: This subtask will reassess the study reach,
at a commensurate level of detail, for a condition that incorporates the various project
alternatives and results in the development of the final recommend alternative. This
effort will involve the following processes:
a. Participate in a scoping exercise to determine the set of alternatives that will be
considered in the study process.
b. Conduct preliminary reconnaissance level analyses for assessing hydraulic and
consensus acceptability of proposed alternatives by the local sponsors as well as
with the managerial, study, and technical teams. This effort will involve an
iterative process.
c. Modify and execute the HEC-RAS model analysis for all of the considered
alternatives and assess project impact. Support input information into the
economic HEC-FDA program as required.
d. Refine recommended alternative.
e. Conduct a residual overflow analysis.

results against the baseline conditions model information. The impacts of project
life conditions will also be assessed.
g. Estimate and quantify the operation and maintenance (O&M) impacts of the
recommended alternative over its project life.
h. Design pertinent hydraulic mitigation features to insure project viability. This
area may involve the design of such features as guide dikes, grade control
structures, and localized bank stabilization measures.
JAB02.E: Interior Drainage Design: This subtask will address the effects and resultant
hydraulic mitigation measures should the recommended plan require levees and/or any
other structures that will significantly alter the existing interior flow drainage conditions.
JAB02.F: Source Supply and Discharge Distribution Design: This subtask will
concentrate on the feasibility of conveying any available and viable water resources over
to the required study features. This task will rely on information contained in the water
budget analysis. Major areas for design will include the following considerations:
a. Design a system to deliver Santa Cruz River floodwaters over to possible
wetlands/habitat area(s) and potential holding pond features.
b. Design a system to deliver out of channel storm drain system and runoff water
over to the wetlands/habitat area(s) and potential holding pond features.

c. Design a system to deliver any viable groundwater to the wetlandslhabitat areas(s)
and potential holding pond features. This effort will need to be closely
coordinated with the Geotechnical design team because of pipe and pump
equipment constraints.
d. Design a system to convey secondary wastewater effluent water originating from
County wastewater treatment plants over to the wetlandslhabitat area(s) and
potential holding pond features.
e. Design a system to convey reclaimed water (tertiary wastewater effluent) from the
City's reclaimed water facilities to wetlandslhabitat area(s).
f. Design a system to deliver water from an imported potable water source to the
wetlandslhabitat area(s) and potential holding pond features.
g. Design a system to deliver water from a combination of the potential sources to
the wetlandslhabitat area(s) and potential holding pond features.
h. Design the wetlands infrastructure. This may involve the design of certain
hydraulic appurtenances such as headworks and supply lines within the wetlands.
The infrastructure would allow water to be directed to, or away from, specific
areas and thus facilitate flexibility in water management decisions.
JAB02.G: Risk and Uncertainty Analysis: This subtask will be developed so that the
viability of the various design alternatives can be quantified. The analysis will include
the determination of which variables result in the largest changes in flood inundations.
The analysis will assign risk factors to the sensitivity that will result in a confidence level,
i.e., the amount of confidence that the flood inundation depths are accurate.
JAB02.H: Documentation: All data collected and/or developed will be displayed in a
hydraulic appendix to the final feasibility report. In addition, this subtask will include the
development of formal written communications and interim reports required during the
progress of the study effort.
JAB02.I: Coordination: All data collected and/or developed will be fully coordinated
with the study team and the local sponsor. This subtask will also include such additional
activities/efforts as meeting attendance, response to review comments, and technical
briefings.
JAB03: Groundwater & Water Quality
General: The following Groundwater & Water Quality Section provides a list of sub tasks and
the associated cost for the Tres Rios Del Note Project. The I8-mile study reach is bounded on
the south (upstream) by Prince Road and is bounded by Sanders Road at the downstream limit.
The primary goal of this multi-purpose study is the enhancement of the Santa Cruz River in order
to support riparian habitat and its associated wildlife. Groundwater and Water Quality Task will
include groundwater flow modeling, groundwater quality analysis, water budget analysis, and
wetland water quality analysis. The groundwater modeling work for this task will be performed
through the use of MODFLOW or FEMW A TER computer modeling programs. The end product
for the Groundwater and Water Quality Task will be to incorporate the information obtained

from the subtasks listed below into a Groundwater and Water Quality Appendix to the final
feasibility report.
JAB03.A: Research and Review: Research, collect, and review groundwater and water
quality information from Corps of Engineers, USGS, Pima County, City of Tucson, other
public agencies, and private consultants.
JAB03.B: Model Development: Select the proper groundwater model code, develop a
conceptual hydrogeologic model for the study area based on the site geology and
groundwater hydrology, design model grid, define boundary conditions, and implement
numerical input data files.
JAB03.C: Model Calibration: Calibrate the developed groundwater flow model.
Measured groundwater elevations at monitoring wells in the study area will be used for
model calibration. Statistical analysis such as mean square error and standard deviation
calculation will be used to assist model calibration.
JAB03.D: Baseline Condition: The developed groundwater flow model will be used to
simulate the baseline groundwater condition for the study area. The baseline condition is
defined as the groundwater condition of calendar year 2000. Groundwater elevation
contours of the project area and groundwater elevations at specific locations will be
simulated with the calibrated groundwater flow model.
JAB03.E: With Project Groundwater Condition: The developed groundwater flow model
will be used to simulate groundwater conditions under project alternatives. Project
alternatives consist of groundwater conditions over a range of possible future scenarios
that will include, but not be limited to, the various volumes of secondary effluent that
may be discharged into the Santa Cruz River by the two County wastewater treatment
plants over the next 25 to 50 years (or whatever the study's planning horizon is to be).
Groundwater elevation contours of the project area and groundwater elevations at
specific locations under project alternatives will be simulated. The difference of
groundwater conditions between baseline condition and with project condition will be
analyzed.
JAB03.F: Water Budget Analysis: Water budget analysis will be conducted for project
alternatives. Water budget analysis is a mass balance calculation; the calculation
includes surface water inflow, evaporation, plant consumption, groundwater infiltration,
and outflow. The calculations will be based on the different project configurations.
Water sources considered include SCR and tributary surface runoff, wastewater treatment
plants effluent, and groundwater.
JAB03.G: Baseline Groundwater Quality Condition: Research and collect groundwater
quality data in the study area to define the baseline groundwater condition. Groundwater
monitoring data at hazardous waste sites, landfill sites, mining area, and the general area
will be collected and analyzed.

condition will be the input for the groundwater quality model.
JAB03.I: Wetland Water Quality Analysis: A screening level wetland water quality
model will be used to evaluate water quality impact due to project alternatives. The
simulated water quality constituents include total suspepded solids (TSS), total coliform
bacteria (TCB), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN), and total
phosphorus.

SUBACCOUNT 10
ESTIMATED TOTAL TASK COST: $60,000
The purpose of this task is to identify the HTRW contamination potential in the study area.
JFOOl: Framework Research. This task consists of summarizing existing, published information
relating to HTR W.
JF002: Phase I Site Assessment. This task will consist of a full phase I Site Assessment report
for the project. An Architect-Engineer (A-E) Contractor will be tasked to write this report. The
phase I report will look at existing soil and ground water contamination in the project area and
will provide recommendations for follow-up investigative Phase II Site Assessment or similar
HTR W work, if necessary. It is likely that the report will identify areas of existing ground water
contamination in close proximity to the project area. However, the boundaries of the existing
ground water contamination identified within the Phase I report will likely not be identified
clearly as to the exact boundaries. It is somewhat possible that some of this ground water
contamination (ground water plume), may have potentially contaminated the ground water in the
study area. It may necessary at some later phase of this project, most likely during the
Engineering Design phase, during which an additional Phase II Site Assessment or a variation
thereof will have to be initiated. The Phase II will include field work (field exploration
consisting of ground water and or soil samples) to better define the extent of the ground water
plume.
JF003: HTRW Field Explorations. No tasks are anticipated for HTRW field explorations, since
the limit ofHTRW within the project area is well known and there are no potential areas of
contamination known at this time. There is some possibility however, that groundwater in the
project area could be contaminated with HTRW, especially within the upper portion of the
aquifer. The results of the Phase I Site Assessment real estate search should show additional
potential HTRW sites, including HTRW ground water impacted area if any, at the project area.
However, it is likely that the Phase I Site Assessment will not define the limits of existing or
unknown ground water contamination, if any, since this report will focus only primarily on
existing databases and surface features that contain potential HTR W. Any potential HTR W
ground water contamination found during the Phase I report will have to be identified as to
whether it poses a potential contamination hazard to the project, this will be discussed in the
HTRW section of the Geology portion of the Geotechnical Appendix. Recommendations for
further ground water contamination assessment, if necessary, will be provided in this section. It
is likely that either the Corps or the project sponsor will perform the field explorations for
potential contaminated ground water as determined from the phase I report. These additional
field explorations will have to be performed during the Corps Engineering Design phases (before
construction of the project begins).

ESTIMATED TOTAL TASK COST: $200,000
The Cultural Resource studies task is to be performed as an in-kind service as defined below.
The cost for this task includes all work in these areas through the end of the study. The sponsor
will perform a literature search, generate a prehistoric and historic overview, produce an
ethnography, discuss previous archeological research and previous compliance, and document
existing conditions of cultural resources (including recommendations regarding the potential for
eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, if possible) and potential impacts
by the project. A pedestrian survey of the project's area of potential effects (APE), and National
Register evaluations are required for the feasibility study. After a recommended plan is
developed, appropriate feasibility level verification of the cultural resource impacts may include
site-specific investigations. The resulting report will be reviewed and approved by the Corps. A
GIS database of identified cultural resources will be generated for the project. The Corps will
review and participate in the development of the Cultural Resources report!EIS to ensure
meeting federal requirements for incorporation into the feasibility report.
Recognizing that the study area is rich in cultural resources, the tasks to be performed by the
Corps's project archeologist include coordination with various interested tribes and the Arizona
State Historic Preservation Officer, negotiation of the required agreements, and development of
any needed mitigation plans. As the lead agency, the Corps is responsible for compliance with
the National Historic Preservation Act.
The Cultural Resources Studies Task will be conducted in accordance with Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, 36 CFR 800 "Protection of Historic
Properties," and Corps Engineering Regulation 1105-2-100. The Sponsor and the Los Angeles
District Environmental Branch will conduct this task in cooperation with the State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO) and other interested parties. This task will determine the impacts
of the alternative plans on historical, architectural, and archaeological resources within the
various study areas.
Sufficient archival and field surveys will be conducted to identify cultural sites within the study's
Area of Potential Effect (APE) and will evaluate the eligibility of all cultural sites for the
National Register of Historic Places. Ifproject alternatives are found that will have an effect on
sites eligible for the National Register, further consultation with SHPO will occur and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and other interested parties will be given an
opportunity to comment. If necessary, the Corps may enter into a Memorandum of Agreement

with SHPO, ACHP, and a non-Federal sponsor to stipulate ways to avoid or reduce the effects of
project alternatives on cultural resources.
The end-product of this task is a detailed report that describes all cultural resources within the
APE and assesses the impacts of each project alternative on these resources. The report will also
describe the range of additional future preservation or mitigation efforts and the associated costs
of these studies. The findings of this task will be documented in an Environmental Studies

ESTIMATED TOTAL COST: $990,000
Plan formulation includes reviewing and refining the plans selected for study during the
reconnaissance phase and other plans developed during the course of the feasibility study. An
array of alternatives will be developed and criteria selected in order to evaluate the range of
options which will further the objective of restoring riparian habitat within the Santa Cruz River.
The alternatives will be compared for completeness, effectiveness, efficiency, and acceptability.
The Areas of Evaluation identified in Enclosure H will be addressed at the appropriate level of
detail. A PMP Review meeting will be held within 90 days of the feasibility study start date.
The annual and periodic activities and responsibilities for operating and maintaining (O&M) the
completed project will be described and closely coordinated with other requirements (e.g., cost
estimates and environmental monitoring). The general magnitude of these activities will be
described for all alternatives in detail; however, more detail will be provided for the
alternative(s) recommended for implementation. All requirements of33 CFR 208 and other
Federal regulations specifying operation and maintenance requirements will be clearly described
so that Sponsor's future responsibilities will be known.
Plan formulation will ensure that the report is prepared in accordance with ER 1105-2-100, ER
5-7-1, EC 1105-2-206, EC 1105-2-208, P&G, NEPA, and other pertinent engineering,
environmental, and economic guidance and regulations. The report will identify and justify the
recommended plan, as well as evaluate the locally-preferred plan, if different from the
recommended plan.
The following tasks will be accomplished:
JJ001: Prepare an Assessment of Existing Conditions. A detailed assessment of present
conditions will be used as a baseline reference against which future without project and with-
project conditions are contrasted. The assessment will include a mapping and area inventory of
all major habitat types, including but not necessarily limited to, cottonwood-willow vegetation,
wetland/marsh vegetation and salt cedar (tamarisk). A habitat evaluation method acceptable to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Habitat Evaluation Procedure
(HEP) or Hydro-Geomorphic Assessment (HGM), will be used to assess habitat value or
functional capacity values of the river system.
JJ002: Develop a unified formulation model encompassing the HEP model or HGM models to
be used in forecasting future without and with project conditions.
JJ003: A forecast will be made of future without-project conditions within the study area. The
forecast techniques used to estimate future without-project conditions will be used for the future
with-project conditions. Time periods for future-without-project forecasting will be defined for a
period of fifty-years.

JJ006: The physical, economic and institutional constraints to be considered in developing the
alternative measures will be defined.
JJ007: Alternative measures or groups of measures for riparian restoration will be identified and
analyzed. Alternatives will be specific, defined alternatives with costs and outputs that can be
estimated with reasonable accuracy. Conceptual designs for both potential wetland areas and
areas outside of the wetlands will be included.
JJ008: Costs and environmental outputs of each alternative will be assessed. Costs are to be
developed in sufficient detail to define each separable element of each alternative measure or
group of measures. Costs will include construction costs, land acquisition and operation and
maintenance. Environmental outputs will be measured in terms of habitat units using the habitat
evaluation method noted above. Costs and outputs of plan increments will be displayed in a
format similar to that shown in EC 1105-2-185 which allows for an incremental cost analysis of
the measures under consideration.
JJ009: A recommended plan will be selected and clearly justified on biological and technical
merits, costs per habitat unit, ability ofmeasure(s) to meet habitat objectives, NED benefits
including recreation, implementability and other factors.
JJOIO: Implementation Studies is a sponsor in-kind service which involves determining the
financial and legal arrangements required to implement the recommended plans, including
methods of financing the project. A financial capability analysis will examine whether or not the
Sponsor has the organizational, legal, and financial capability to undertake the required financial
obligations for implementing and maintaining the project after it is authorized for construction
by Congress.
JJOIO.A: Financial Planning. This subtask will begin with a review of the
reconnaissance study assessment oflocal financial interest and capability. Cost sharing,
alternative repayment options for any incidental project purposes, and other financial
options will be defined. Two financing plans will be determined, a federally supportable
plan and a locally preferred plan. If there is a difference between these two plans, then
the Sponsors will be required to pay any cost differential.
JJOIO.B: Documentation and Coordination. A draft and final financial and cost
recovery section of the feasibility report will be prepared. Analysis and documentation
will be reviewed and coordinated.

CHAPTER IV - FEASIBILITY STUDY SCHEDULE
1. SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT
All schedules are developed using a Network Analysis System (NAS). The network is
based upon the tasks that are listed in Chapter III, Scope of Studies. Major milestones that are
defined in Enclosure C, CESPD Milestone System, are also included in the schedules.
2. FUNDING CONSTRAINTS
Funding for the first Fiscal Year of the feasibility study is normally limited because of the
uncertainty in the initiation of the feasibility phase. This constraint has been reflected in the
development of the study schedule. Following the first year, an optimum schedule based upon
unconstrained funding has been assumed for subsequent Fiscal Years.
3. LOCAL SPONSOR COMMITMENTS
Milestones become commitments when the project manager meets with the local
sponsor( s) at the beginning of each Fiscal Year and identifies two to five tasks that are important
for the district to complete during the Fiscal Year. These commitments would be flagged in the
PROMIS database and monitored and reported on accordingly.
4. MILESTONE SCHEDULE
The schedule for the milestones in the CESPD Milestone System is as follows (to be
determined):
Milestone Description Baseline Schedule Current Schedule
Milestone F I Initiate Study Sep-O! Sep-O I

CHAPTER V - FEASIBILITY COST ESTIMATE
1. BASIS FOR THE COST ESTIMATE
a. The feasibility cost estimate is based upon a summation of the costs that were
identified for the individual tasks in detailed scopes of work that are included in Chapter III,
Detailed Scopes of Work. Study cost estimates include allowances for inflation so that the non-
Federal sponsor is fully aware of its financial commitment.
b. Appropriate contingencies and contingency management are included to adequately
deal with the uncertainty in the elements of the study. Experience has shown that approximately
20 percent of the study costs should be reserved for activities after the release of the draft report.
Contingencies in the amount required to raise the costs of activities after the draft report amount
has been added to the cost estimate.

2. COSTS FOR FEDERAL AND NON-FEDERAL ACTIVITIES
The non-Federal sponsor must contribute 50 percent of the total cost of the study during
the period of the study. The non-Federal share may be made by the provision of services,
materials, supplies, or other in-kind services necessary to prepare the feasibility report. The
feasibility cost estimate below includes credit for work that is to be accomplished by the non-

5. DOCUMENTS TO BE REVIEWED AND SCHEDULE FOR REVIEW ACTIVITIES
a. All ofthe products of the tasks listed in the detailed scopes of work in Chapter IV,
Scope of Studies, will be subject to independent technical review. Seamless Single Discipline
Review will be accomplished prior to the release of materials to other members of the study team
or integrated into the overall study. Section chiefs shall be responsible for accuracy of the
computations through design checks and other internal procedures, prior to the independent
technical review.
b. Independent product review will occur prior to major decision points in the planning
process at the CESPD milestones so that the technical results can be relied upon in setting the
course for further study. These products would include documentation for the CESPD
mandatory milestone conferences (F3 & F4), HQUSACE issue resolution conferences (AFB &
FRC) and the draft and final reports. These products shall be essentially complete before review
is undertaken. Since this quality control will have occurred prior to each milestone conference,
the conference is free to address critical outstanding issues and set direction for the next step of
the study, since a firm technical basis for making decisions will have already been established.
In general, the independent technical review will be initiated at least two week prior to a CESPD
mandatory milestone conference and at least two weeks prior to the submission of
documentation for a HQUSACE issue resolution conference.
c. For products that are developed under contract, the contractor will be responsible for
quality control through an independent technical review. Quality assurance of the contractor's
quality control will be the responsibility of the district.
6. DEVIATIONS FROM THE APPROVED QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
No deviations to the approved quality management plan have been made.

7. COST ESTIMATE FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
The costs for conducting independent technical review are included in the individual
scopes of work that are included in Chapter IV, Scope of Studies. Quality management activities
of Branch and Division Chiefs are included in Supervision and Administration. The total cost
for quality management is approximately $50,000, which is approximately 1 % of the study cost
estimate. This amount is included in parent task.
8. PMP QUALITY CERTIFICATION
The Chief, Planning Division has certified that I) the independent technical review
process for this PMP has been completed, 2) all issues have been addressed, 3) the streamlining
initiatives proposed in this PMP will result in a technically adequate product, and 4) appropriate
quality control plan requirements have been adequately incorporated into this PMP.
9. FEASIBILITY PHASE CERTIFICATION
The documentation of the independent technical review shall be included with the
submission of the reports to CESPD. Documentation of the independent technical review shall
be accompanied by a certification, indicating that the independent technical review process has
been completed and that all technical issues have been resolved. The certification requirement
applies to all documentation that will be forwarded to either CESPD or HQUSACE for review or
approval. The Chief, Planning Division will certify the pre-conference documentation for the
HQUSACE issue resolution conferences and the draft feasibility report. The final feasibility
report, which includes the signed recommendation of the District Commander, will be certified
by the District Commander. This certification will follow the example that is included as
Appendix H of the CESPD Quality Management Plan and will be signed by the Chief, Planning
Division, and the District Commander.

CHAPTER VII - IDENTIFICATION OF PROCEDURES AND CRITERIA
1. EVOLUTION OF THE PMP
The PMP describes all activities from the initial tasks of the feasibility phase through the
preparation of the final feasibility report, the Project Management Plan and PED cost-sharing
agreement, and the district's support during the Washington-level review. As the PMP is based
primarily on existing information, it will be subject to scope changes as the technical picture
unfolds. Because of the limited evaluations in the reconnaissance phase, the PMP will include
significantly more uncertainty and must make appropriate allowances. As an example, this PMP
assumes the requirement for an Environmental Impact Statement, because of the limited
environmental evaluations conducted in the reconnaissance phase.
. The current PMP, including the documentation of agreements on changes to the conduct
ofthe study, will be addressed at each of the CESPD milestone conferences and at the formal
issue resolution conferences with HQUSACE, including the AFB and FRC.
2. THE PLANNING PROCESS
The Water Resource Council's Principles and Guidelines (P&G) is the basic planning
guidance which establishes a six-step planning process. This process is a conceptual planning
sequence for developing solutions to water resource problems and opportunities. The Planning
Manual and Planning Primer, both published by IWR provide excellent coverage of the planning
process. The South Pacific Division also provides training in the six- step process.
3. POLICY
The policies that govern the development of projects are contained in the Digest of Water
Resources Policies and Authorities, EP 1165-2-1.
4. CORPS REGULATIONS
All of the Corps' current regulations are included on the HQUSACE homepage. The
most important of these regulations is ER 1105-2-100, Planning Guidance. Policy compliance
review is addressed in EC 1165-2-203, Technical and Policy Compliance Review. In addition,
quality control is covered in the CESPD Quality Management Plan, CESPD R 1110-1-8. The
review of the products will be accomplished with the review checklist that is provided in EC
1165-2-203 as Appendix B, Policy Compliance Review Considerations.
5. PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS
In addition to ER 1105-2-100, the South Pacific Division has provided additional
guidance on the processing requirements for each of the milestone submittals. This guidance is
contained in CESPD-ET-P memorandum, subject: Processing of Planning Reports in the South
Pacific Division.

WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE
1. LEVELS OF THE WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE
The work breakdown structure is divided into the following four levels.
a. Level l: The Project
b. Level 2: The Subprojects are established by the phase that is appropriated by Congress
- in this case the feasibility phase of the study. This level includes the major products generated
in the feasibility phase: the Feasibility Report, the Project Management Plan, and the PED
Agreement, which are identified in the first character of the work breakdown structure code.
c. Level 3: The Parent Tasks are generally identified as separate products that go into the
final feasibility phase documentation. Examples of these subprojects include such items as the
real estate report, the H&H report, etc. These parent tasks are normally identified with the
responsibility of a particular functional organization. This level is generally identified in the
second and third characters of the work breakdown structure code.
d. Level 4: The Tasks are major separable elements of the subprojects that are keyed to
separately identifiable products that are developed for the major feasibility study milestones.
These tasks are elements of work resulting in a deliverable product which have a beginning and
an end, may be accomplished within one functional organization, can be described at a work
order of detail and are the lowest level that will be specifically tracked with respect to cost and
schedule. As an example, the cost estimates for the draft feasibility report would be an example
of a task. Tasks can be described as the summation of activities that would be accomplished by a
particular functional organizational between two of the milestone events. The milestones are
defined in Enclosure C. The following durations between milestones are generally used for the
establishment of tasks.
l) Between Milestone F land F3
2) Between Milestone F3 and F4
3) Between Milestone F4 and F4A
4) Between Milestone F4A and F5
5) Between Milestone F5 and F8
6) Between Milestone F8 and F9
e. Level 5: The Activities are separate elements of work that are managed by the
functional managers to whom the tasks are assigned and which may not necessary result in a
deliverable work product to another organization. These activities are not tracked separately in
terms of cost and schedule but are described in the scopes of work to the extent required to
provide a clear understanding of the work required.

GENERAL IN KIND SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL
The scopes of work for the major tasks are specified in the PMP. Where designated, several areas of
work are the responsibility of the local sponsor, as described in the PMP and the In-kind services table of
this Enclosure G. The information below is intended to provide additional clarification and description of
the work required for tasks where both the Corps and the sponsors are sharing the work in some
proportion.
H&H
The sponsors will collect, provide, and develop existing conditions information, data, results, model runs,
and mapping. To support and participate in the F3 effort, this involves providing information to H&H in LA
as requested. A significant in-kind effort involves development of the existing condition groundwater
model, which will be used by LA to evaluate alternatives later. Additional participation with lead planner
and coordination and review with LA technical staff throughout the study is also an in kind service.
GEOTECHNICAL
Primarily a COE effort, in-kind consists of research existing information, provide data and information to
COE as requested, and general coordination and review.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Primarily a COE effort, in-kind consists of research existing information, provide data to COE as
requested, and general coordination and review.
CULTURAL RESOURCES F3 REPORT
The sponsors will provide write-up of the cultural history of the area and significance. List and brief
descriptions of the known cultural resources (archaeological, historical) historic sites, trails, missions, and
other resources. Generally, identify any cultural resource, which might be impacted by construction of a
proposed project. A map of sites (GIS) will be developed. All sites within the study area are not
required, only those that have the potential to be impacted by some future project construction.
CULTURAL RESOURCES F5 REPORT
During alternative development and after a plan is selected, coordination with SHPO and development of
the agreements and any mitigation requirements is performed. As the lead agency, the Corps is
responsible for the Cultural Resources section of the EIS to comply with NEPA, however the sponsors
develop all information and provide advance coordination prior to official Corps coordination. The cultural
impacts are evaluated in more detail based upon the plan sheets for the recommended plan. The
Coordination with SHPO and the agreement, containing any conditions, and development of any required
mitigation, is the primary product of the cultural F5 effort.
REAL ESTATE F3 REPORT
The purpose of the real estate effort is to provide estimates of the real estate values to support cost
estimating purposes for the alternatives. All parcels within the study area are not required, only those that
have the potential to be acquired for some future project construction.
A. List of parcels along/in the study area corridor. The list should include the following info:
Ownership (Private or Public, if Public, who)
Zoning/Land Use (Commercial, Industrial, Residential, Park, River ROW)
Square Footage of the property and improvements
Tres Rios Del Norte Feasibility Study
Pima County, Arizona
Project Management Plan
August 2001
F-2
-
.......
Estimate of FMV
Estimate of FMV of the portion of the property that might be needed for a project ($/sf)
Other appropriate cost estimating information
B. Relocations
Identify businesses, mobile home parks, or other private property that might need to be relocated or
compensated in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970, Public Law 91-646, as amended by Title IV of the Surface Transportation and
Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987 (Public law 100-17), and 49 CAR part 24.
REAL ESTATE F5 REPORT
After a plan is selected, a certified appraiser's estimate (not a certified appraisal) is needed for the parcels
required for the project. This cost estimate is much more detailed based upon the plan sheets for the
recommended plan. This detailed estimate constitutes the "Gross Appraisal" that is used to develop a
more accurate project cost estimate for the selected plan. Also included is a more detailed assessment of
any relocations.
PLAN FORMULATION
The Institutional Framework Studies Task is an in kind service as specified in the PMP. Apart from this
major effort, Plan Formulation is primarily a COE effort, in-kind consists of research and provide existing
information, participate in the planning process and provide input to COE as requested, and general
coordination and review throughout the study.

AREAS OF EVALUATION
FOR THE
TRES RIOS DEL NORTE FEASIBILITY STUDY
GENERAL
Initial Areas of Evaluation have been identified through coordination with the Sponsors
and other interest groups. As specified in the Plan Formulation Section of the PMP, the
feasibility study will include evaluations and alternative development with full consideration of
the opportunities, constraints, and viability of all identified elements. Each element will be
evaluated at an appropriate level of detail, and be subjected to a screening process that includes
cost estimating and development of benefits for potential inclusion in a Corps recommended
plan. All elements are not expected to be evaluated at the same level of detail; some may only
receive cursory screening based upon Corps rules, regulations, policies and procedures. Each
element will be evaluated for technical feasibility, environmental acceptability and compliance,
economic justification, and public acceptability. The feasibility study will include, but not be
limited to, the identified elements.
RIPARIAN HABITAT RESTORATION ELEMENTS
Identify and evaluate existing and potential high value riparian habitat. Develop a plan as
appropriate to protect, enhance and restore these sensitive locations.
Evaluate upgrading the existing Constructed Ecosystem Research Facility operated by the
University of Arizona in cooperation with Pima County Wastewater Management. This
facility, located adjacent to the County's Roger Road Wastewater Treatment Plant, the
City's Reclaimed Water Treatment Plant, and the City's Sweetwater Wetlands, can
further assess threatened and endangered plant and animal species as well as water
quality issues associated with effluent utilization.
Evaluate the City of Tucson's Silverbell Lake Wildlife Habitat project located at
Columbus Park. The objective is to incorporate water-harvesting to supplement reclaimed
water for the habitat. Water management will be studied in storage basins, wetland
basins, settling basins and connecting channels. Hardscape will be pathways, interpretive
signage, and benches. Riparian vegetation will be introduced, to enhance the lake
environment, attract wildlife, and provide an erosion protection component along the
Santa Cruz River.
Evaluate the wetlands located on City-owned land on the southeast comer of El Camino
del Cerro bridge and the Santa Cruz River. This site was previously used as a wastewater
sludge pit and has since been considered as a possible wetlands treatment site.

Evaluate introducing native grasses and shrubs to the EI Camino del Cerro landfill cap.
Plant on top of the landfill and contour the surface.
Evaluate restoring disturbed and eroded areas on the west overbank between El Camino
del Cerro Road and Ina Road.
Evaluate opportunities and constraints for discharging treated effluent into the Canada del
Oro Wash near the Ina Road Wastewater treatment facility, or other tributaries of the
Santa Cruz River, to initiate riparian habitat.
Evaluate opportunities at the existing pond, on the west bank of the Santa Cruz River,
near the confluence of the Santa Cruz River and Canada del Oro Wash.
Evaluate establishing a salvage and propagation native plant nursery and restore native
vegetation at the old borrow pit area southeast of the Ina Road Bridge adjacent to the Ina
Road treatment facility (Ina Road Triangle property).
Identify and evaluate restoring disturbed areas on both sides of the low flow channel from
Cortaro Road to A vra Valley Road.
Identify viable wildlife travel corridors between the Tucson Mountains and the Tortolita
Mountains. Areas of special interest would include the connectivity of Saguaro National
Park with Arthur Pack Park (through Hardy Wash).
Evaluate corridor linkage facilities to permit wildlife to safely traverse Silverbell Road at
various drainage crossings. This may include oversized box culverts and other features.
Evaluate extending habitat restoration through drainageways 2-10 in Continental Ranch
areas for multipurpose flood/erosion control in the area.
Evaluate opportunities and constraints for creating wetlands, riparian forests
(cottonwood/willow or mesquite bosque) and/or bird sanctuaries at suitable locations
within the project reach. One potential site to consider is the old ADOT pit at the north
end of Continental Ranch near Milligan Road.
Survey existing habitat for Huachuca Water-Umbel and evaluate potential reintroduction
of this species.
Evaluate the regeneration of native vegetation within the main channel of the Santa Cruz
River adjacent to the effluent flow or adjacent to managed or constructed groundwater
recharge projects.

GROUNDWATER RECHARGE AND WATER SUPPLY ELEMENTS
Off-Channel
Evaluate expanding the City of Tucson's off-channel effluent recharge facilities
on the east bank near the Roger Road Wastewater Treatment Plant or on the west
bank in the vicinity of Columbus Park.
Evaluate the feasibility of an effluent and/or CAP water recharge project at the
New West facility.
Evaluate the Marana West Side Effluent Reuse Pipeline Project as a recovery
system and distribution network to insure water supply for habitat restoration and
other uses, such as irrigation.
Evaluate the Phase II Lower Santa Cruz Replenishment Project.
In-Channel
Evaluate cooperative Santa Cruz Managed Recharge and Recovery north of Ina
Road.
Evaluate in-channel 'constructed' recharge projects between the outfalls of the
Roger Road and Ina Road Wastewater Treatment Plants, including additional
recovery wells and distribution pipelines.
Evaluate a dual effluent channel within the Continental Ranch/Santa Cruz River
low flow channel to allow the accrual of constructed recharge credits, help protect
existing soil cement bank stabilization along this reach, and enhance riparian
habitat through this corridor.
Evaluate inflatable dams. One possible location is approximately 4,400 ft.
downstream of Cortaro Road crossing, on the Santa Cruz River.
FLOOD CONTROL ELEMENTS
Evaluate the Gardner Lane/Roger Road Wastewater facility drainage improvements.
Extend two 54-inch reinforced concrete pipes under the Southern Pacific Railroad
mainline and construct a conveyance system for this runoff to the Santa Cruz River.
Evaluate the Ruthrauff ArealEI Camino del Cerro landfill drainage improvements.
Convey runoff from the Ruthrauff Road area at Interstate 10 to the Santa Cruz River. By
eliminating the flooding and ponding adjacent to the landfill, surface water infiltration
would not aggravate the existing groundwater contamination plume at the landfill.

Evaluate soft bank protection on the west bank bend 1,800 ft. to 5,600 ft. downstream of
the EI Camino del Cerro bridge.
Evaluate some form of bank stabilization, within the missing section, on the east bank
between EI Camino del Cerro bridge and Sunset Road. This section would infill between
two existing sections from approximately I ,300 ft. to 4,000 ft. downstream of EI Camino
del Cerro bridge.
Evaluate some form of bank stabilization for approximately 5,600 ft., along the east bank
of the Santa Cruz River between the Rillito Creek and the Canada del Oro Wash.
Evaluate three actions for the Santa Cruz River downstream ofCortaro Road: (1)
Excavate two 15,000 ft. long low flow effluent channels near the middle of the channel to
relocate effluent flows away from the existing soil cement banks, enhance in-channel
vegetatiop. and promote ground water recharge; (2) Construct a series of grade control
structures to protect the existing bank stabilization, enhance in-channel vegetation and
promote ground water recharge; and (3) Rehabilitate both sides of the existing bank
protection from Cortaro Road to the downstream end of the bank protection.
Evaluate the potential for sand and gravel pits, located along the banks of the Santa Cruz
River, to be breached by erosion during flooding events. Analyze the threats to roads,
highways and bridges, major utilities, and public and private property. Evaluate and
implement techniques to prevent catastrophic breaches of large sand and gravel pits,
during major flooding events, to minimize head cutting and channel degradation.
Evaluate implementing the drainage solutions prepared in the ADOT 1-10 General Plan
from Ruthrauff Road to Tangerine Road.
Evaluate grade control structures. These minimize channel degradation and promote
riparian wetlands. Possible locations include:
on Canada del Oro Wash near Interstate 10.
at the Cortaro Road Bridge on the Santa Cruz River.
3,700 ft. downstream ofCortaro Road on the Santa Cruz River; possible
rubber dam site.
at the future Twin Peaks Boulevard crossing on the Santa Cruz River.
at the Avra Valley Road Bridge on the Santa Cruz River.
along tributaries draining from the Tucson Mountains.
Note: A grade control structure is not proposed at the EI Camino del Cerro Bridge
on the Santa Cruz River due to landfill issues.
Evaluate opportunities and constraints for generating hydroelectric power at grade control
structures.

Floodprone Land Acquisition: (1) For the Santa Cruz River between EI Camino del Cerro
and Cortaro Road; acquire all private property forming the main channel and its west
bank to Silverbell Road. This includes the Casas Arroyo subdivision. (2) For the Santa
Cruz River between A vra Valley Road and Sanders Road, acquire private property on the
west bank. Acquisition of these properties would serve multiple purposes including:
flood control, recreation (Anza Trail), habitat preservation, groundwater recharge and
recovery, and archeological preservation.
RECREA TIONAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND CULTURAL ELEMENTS
River/Linear Park (west bank)
Evaluate a river trail on the west bank of the Santa Cruz River connecting the
City's existing Columbus Park to Sanders Road to the north. The trail will be
seamless matching Pima County and Marana trail standards. The trail would be a
part of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail system, which once
completed would extend for 1,200 miles from Mexico to San Francisco,
California. Since the de Anza trail system will be a native dirt trail, certain
segments may have a parallel paved trail, in urbanizing areas, to promote
accessibili ty of the trail system.
Integrate existing or planned projects on the west bank with the proposed trail
system. Hubs or destinations could include: Columbus Park, Marana District
Park, Cortaro Mesquite Bosque, Los Morteros Heritage Park, and Marana High
Plains Recharge.
River/Linear Park (east bank)
Evaluate a river park concept with trail on the east bank of the Santa Cruz River
from Prince Road to Sanders Road. The trail would interconnect to the Rillito
Creek and the Canada del Oro Wash river park systems. This would include river
park bridges over all necessary Santa Cruz River tributaries including the Rillito
Creek and Canada del Oro Wash. Provide connections to local trails including
CAP Canal tie in! Twin Peaks and/or Tangerine Trail Crossing. Construct trail
access links across Interstate 10 and the CAP along the channel from east to west.
Integrate existing or planned projects on the east bank with the proposed trail
system. Hubs or destinations could include: the Sweetwater Wetlands, the Ina
Road nursery, and the levee park.
Archaeological. Historical and Educational Sites
Evaluate educational and cultural opportunities within the Marana District Park
site located near Cortaro Road and the Santa Cruz River.

Mountain Stage Station located north of Continental Ranch.
Evaluate interpretive signs at the 'Nine Mile Water Hole' and at the settlement of
'Laguna' on the west bank of the Santa Cruz River.
Evaluate preserving in-place the many archeological sites within the project
reach. The signs and exhibits could be along the river park trails, or associated
with flood control and riparian projects with reference to a site which is in close
proximity. Sites and locations to be determined.
Evaluate incorporating archaeology research and interpretation facilities.
Evaluate and implement conversion of flood prone land to enhance open space
and to preserve Marana's heritage.
GENERAL PROJECTS
Assess and evaluate vector control issues for every project with a surface water feature.
Evaluate existing use of sand and gravel operations and future uses such as recharge,
recreation, and habitat restoration. Evaluate flood control given these uses.
Evaluate uses for the floodway lands on south/west side of Santa Cruz River which are
compatible with" the Marana Airpark.
Evaluate rehabilitating and restoring the area behind the levee. Identify compatible uses
for this protected area of land.
