DescCentral Valley ProgramTRT continues to build support for increasing the amount of water flowing down the lower Tuolumne for fish, wildlife, water quality and recreation by engaging in the effort to relicense Don Pedrothe largest dam on the Tuolumne River. Thanks to our efforts, the irrigation districts began studying the feasibility of passing steelhead and salmon around La Grange and Don Pedro Dams to historic spawning grounds in the upper Tuolumne River. We also made significant progress towards removing Dennett Dam, having begun the engineering and environmental review process to remove the dam. The Trust continued to build our base of support within the communities along the lower Tuolumne River with two staff members offering programs that connect children and families to the River through safe and fun recreational activities, education programs and river clean-ups and other projects to improve these communities that involved thousands of people.Desc

DescBay Area ProgramTRT continues to promote water conservation in the Bay Area communities that depend on water from the Tuolumne River. By promoting water conservation policies and actions water use in these communities continues to decline despite that fact that Bay Area water agencies had projected an increase in total water use over this same time. Water use in the Bay Area has declined by 28% since 2008. We also educated more than 5,000 Bay Area kids about the river and what they can do to take care of it through conservation and water use efficiency.Desc

Part II, Line 5: Summarized PolicyThe Tuolumne River Trust monitors its conservation easements at least annually in order to observe the condition of the property to determine whether it is in compliance with easement terms, create a record of easement stewardship and property condition over time, and maintain a working relationship with the landowner. It is TRTs policy to uphold its conservation easements as written and to identify, investigate, evaluate and respond to any potential violations as quickly as possible. In the case of a material violation, TRT will require cessation, repair, and/or mitigation of any damage to protected conservation values. TRT is prepared to take legal action to defend its rights as easement holder if necessary. TRTs policy clearly describes the process for enforcing the terms of the easement should any violation be identified to ensure corrective actions are taken to cure the violation.
Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements.Easements acquired by the Organization are conservation easements and include restrictions over the use of land which is not owned by the Organization. By accepting such conservation easements the Organization becomes responsible for certain costs related to monitoring and enforcing the easements. The Organization recognizes a contingent liability related to such easements. The footnote describing these obligations and easements in the Organizations financials is as follows:As of December 31, 2015 conservation easements managed by the Organization consisted of the following: Dos Rios Ranch: Approximately 1,603 acres near the Tuolumne River located in Stanislaus County, California.Hidden Valley Ranch: Approximately 497 acres near the Tuolumne River located in Stanislaus County, California. The Organization has a fiduciary responsibility to preserve the conservation easements, and this responsibility may result in future costs to the Organization. The amount of such future costs is uncertain and depends on factors such as the existence, if any, of violations of the conservation easements. The Organization expenses costs related to managing conservation easements in the period in which such costs are incurred.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Organization has evaluated its current tax positions as of December 31, 2015 and is not aware of any significant uncertain tax positions for which a reserve would be necessary.
