| RAC – Regional Advisory Committee |
The RAC was formed in December 2006 to assist in completion of San Diego’s first IRWM Plan and prioritization of projects both within the Plan and for future funding application(s) as they arise. The RAC composition provides diverse representation from various functional areas related to water management – 5 retail water agencies, 4 water quality representatives, 6 natural resources and watersheds organizations, 10 at-large members, 2 resources agencies, and 2 Tri-County FACC representatives). The RWMG agencies are represented by only 3 voting seats.
The RAC has played a critical role in shaping and developing such key elements of the IRWM Plan as goals and objectives, long-term targets, the proposed institutional structure, and project prioritization. The RAC currently meets on a bi-monthly basis to provide guidance on upcoming IRWM planning and funding application activities. The RAC may be convened more frequently, as needed, for planning and funding proposals.

| RWMG - Regional Water Management Group |
The San Diego County Water Authority, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego originally formed the Regional Water Management Group (RWMG) to fund, guide, and manage development of the IRWM Plan. The RWMG is now responsible for the day-to-day administration and implementation of the San Diego IRWM program. The RWMG meets bi-weekly to research, review, discuss, and formulate ideas and concepts for Plan implementation activities. Additionally, the RWMG provides presentations to various stakeholder groups including water supply agencies, environmental organizations, and other agencies regarding the IRWM program.

| Tri-County FACC – Tri-County Funding Area Coordinating Committee |
| The San Diego RWMG, Upper Santa Margarita RWMG, and South Orange County RWMG collaborate in an inter-regional body established via MOU and known as the Tri-County FACC. The Tri-County FACC enables the three RWMGs to balance the necessary autonomy of each planning region to plan at the appropriate scale with the need to improve inter-regional cooperation and efficiency. It ensures close coordination of the three planning regions to improve the quality and reliability of water in the San Diego Funding Area.
The Tri-County FACC coordinates and works together with their advisory groups to address issues and conflicts across planning regions, identify common objectives and projects that address those needs, and provide general planning cooperation for shared watersheds. The Tri-County FACC meets on an as-needed basis. |

The RAC has expressed support for participating in these other water resources efforts as a coordinated body. The following summarizes IRWM Program participation in other efforts to date:
