Common use of Implementation Procedure Clause in Contracts

Implementation Procedure. 1. Table LIP-4 sets forth the combinations of conditions under which the LIP shall be implemented. The determination of the applicable LIP Stage shall be made using the High Rock Reservoir water elevation as of midnight between the last day of the previous month and the first day of the current month in combination with the U.S. Drought Monitor Three- Month Numeric Average and the Stream Gage Three-Month Rolling Average Flow to determine the need to declare or change a Stage of the LIP. The LIP shall be implemented beginning at Stage 0 and, if the combination of conditions becomes more severe, the Stages shall increase in one Stage increments. Table LIP-4. Summary of LIP Triggers Stage High Rock Reservoir Elevation US Drought Monitor Three-Month Numeric Average Stream Gage Three-Month Rolling Average as a percent of the Historical Average 0 < NME minus 0.5 ft and any or any < NME and either ≥ 0 or < 48 % 1 < NME minus 1 ft and either ≥ 1 or < 41 % 2 < NME minus 2 ft and either ≥ 2 or <35 % 3 < NME minus 3 ft and either ≥ 3 or <30 % 4 < ½ of ( NME minus Critical Reservoir Water Elevation) and either ≥ 4 or <30 % 2. The average daily flows set forth in Table LIP-5 shall be initiated no later than seven days after the determination of the applicable LIP Stage and shall be in effect for the balance of the month except as provided in Section 3.1.

Table LIP-5. LIP Flows(1), cfs Stage High Rock (daily average maximum flow target) Falls(2) (daily average flow target) 0 2000 1500 1000 2000 1500 1000 1 1450 1170 900 1450 1170 900 2 1080 950 830 1080 950 830 3 770 770 770 770 770 770 4 Additional measures may be determined by consensus of the Licensee and State Agencies, subject to FERC approval (1) Developments shall be operated to achieve the target flows to the extent practicable as a first priority and to supplement inflows equitably from the storage reservoirs as a second priority. For LIP Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4, APGI shall achieve the indicated average daily flows set forth in this table by supplementing Project inflows by drawing proportionally from High Rock and Narrows reservoirs such that the difference between the respective drawdowns below NME of High Rock and Narrows reservoirs shall be approximately one foot. (2) For LIP Stages 0-3, the values shown in this table reflect flow targets. These values cannot be met exactly as shown and shall likely vary slightly on a real time basis from the values shown here, but it is expected that the variances from the target flows shall be minimal.
