Examples of WUP Region in a sentence
If reductions in Net Consumptive Use are not being achieved or continued, the JME will work with the LE to institute changes or shifts in WUP Practices to achieve the WUP Region Volumes.
By March 31st of each year between 2016 and 2018, the LE will enter into statements of intent for Water Use Agreements with Eligible Landowners or other WUP Practices to reduce Net Consumptive Use by an additional 6,250 acre-feet each year beyond the amounts described in subsections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2, proportionally allocated among the WUP Region Volumes.
The WUP will not exceed the following limitations on the total number of acres that may be permanently retired, unless the LE is unable to reach an applicable WUP Region Volume through other WUP Practices (in which case the Parties will Meet and Confer), or an Eligible Landowner agrees to retire additional acres as follows.
As a result, there are effectively two transition periods, the first one of five years during which the Water Use Agreements securing the WUP Region Volumes are entered into, and the Riparian Management Agreements securing the management measures are entered into, and then a second period during which the long-term funding required to make these agreements permanent and to meet the other contingencies described in section 10 is provided.
Once a shortfall in the WUP Region Volume is corrected, then the applicable calls for regulation by the Klamath Tribes and the BIA will return to the applicable Call Threshold(s).
To the extent that WUP Practices other than the permanent retirement of water rights are used to achieve WUP Region Volumes, the JME, consistent with the recommendations of its Technical Team, will quantify the change in Net Consumptive Use resulting from such WUP Practices.
If a specific WUP Region had a WUP Region Volume obligation of 6,000 acre-feet, its annual obligations during years 3-5 of the Transition Period would be calculated as follows.
The Board of Directors of the LE will include one representative from each WUP Region (and may include an alternate for each), and an Allottee (and alternate).
The Parties will use a WUP Ledger to track the WUP Region Volumes over time to determine ongoing compliance.
When sufficient data are available, a Long-Term SIF Threshold is based on historic stream flow gage data, adjusted to reflect the instream flow results of restoring the WUP Region Volumes instream.
