Orange, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Irvine Ranch Water District, other cities,
and non - governmental organizations) to determine objectives and priorities for a
watershed management plan for Newport Bay. Mr. Paul also coordinated with resource
and regulatory agencies for determining grant funding priorities for potential projects in
the Newport Bay Watershed. The fee for this work was $26,400.
Under Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, Larry Paul and Associates provided project
management services for the HAMP including the facilitation, coordination and
oversight for the development of the HAMP elements. The fee for Amendment No. 1
was $30,000. The draft HAMP was completed in March 2006 and has been submitted

sediment control measures, improvements for the Regional Permits, and formulation of
recommended actions. Larry Paul will also provide assistance in developing grants that
