BMP 10 WHOLESALE AGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS Program Management e) When mutually agreeable and beneficial, the wholesaler may operate all or any part of the conservation-related activities which a given retail supplier is obligated to implement under the BMP's cost-effectiveness test. The inability or unwillingness of the wholesaler to perform this function, however, in no way relieves or reduces the retailer's obligation to fully satisfy the requirements of ali BMPs which are judged cost-effective from the retailer's perspective. Water Shortage Allocations Wholesale agencies shall work in cooperation with their customers to identify and remove potential disincentives to long-term conservation created by water shortage allocation policies; and to identify opportunities to encourage and reward cost-effective investments in long-term conservation shown to advance regional water supply reliability and sufficiency. Implementation Schedule a) Agencies signing the MOU prior to December 31, 1997, implementation shall commence no later than July 1, 1999. b) Agencies signing the MOU or becoming subject to the MOU after December 31, 1997, implementation shall commence no later than July I of the second year following the year the agency signed or became subject to the MOU. Coverage Requirements a) Cost-effectiveness assessments completed for each BMP the agency is potentially obligated to support. The methodology used will conform to CUWCC standards and procedures, and the information reported will be sufficient to permit independent verification of the cost-effectiveness calculations and of any exemptions claimed on cost-effectiveness grounds. b) Agency avoided cost per acre-foot of new water supplies. The methodology used will conform to CUWCC standards and procedures, and the information reported will be sufficient to permit independent verification of the avoided cost calculations. -2-
