Operational Plans. Operating Plans will be developed and/or reviewed annually at the Geographic, State, or sub‐geographic area level and will tier to this Agreement. The annual operating plan (AOP) addresses specific situations for cooperating agencies and is to be reviewed at a minimum, annually (see Exhibit B, CFMA Annual Operating Plan Template). The following operating plans are listed in descending order of precedence: A. Statewide Operating Plans Statewide Operating Plans will address issues affecting statewide cooperation. The Statewide Operating Plans will be approved by the signatory State and Federal CWCG members. The Statewide Interagency Mobilization Guide and the Operating Plan for Cooperative Incident Billing Procedures are considered Statewide Operating Plans. B. California’s Geographic Area Operating Plans (if applicable) Northern and Southern California Geographic Area Operating Plans will address issues affecting Geographic Area‐wide cooperation. The Geographic Area Operating Plan will be approved by the signatory State and Federal CWCG member agencies. The California Interagency Mobilization Guide will be identified and considered as part of the Geographic Area Operating Plan. C. Local/Sub Geographic Annual Operating Plans Unit Administrators are responsible for determining reciprocal assistance and acquisition of wildland fire protection services. Local/Sub Geographic Annual Operating Plans (AOPs) will be developed to document these decisions and outline the details of this Agreement for the local and/or sub geographic areas. Following the template provided as Exhibit B, such plans will describe the personnel, equipment, and administrative support necessary to provide acceptable levels of wildland fire response capabilities to meet agency objectives. Plans should be reviewed and agreement reached concerning such items as placement of crews, engines, air tankers, helicopters, fixed and aerial detection, regulated use, closures, and other joint wildland fire responses. Local/Sub Geographic Annual Operating Plans (AOPs) will be reviewed, updated, and signed annually, and will be posted by May 15 to a centralized location. D. Supplemental Project Plans Supplemental project plans are developed for specific non‐suppression, wildland fire‐related projects. Documentation will include the objectives, specific authorizing law, role of each agency, and each agency’s share of cost. See Exhibit D, Supplemental Project Plan.
