29 <br />2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1 <br />comparable to the Participating Pumpers’ then-current groundwater cost, as may be adjusted <br />annually as provided for in Section 4.7 of the Project Operating Agreement. Each of the <br />Participating Pumpers may elect to take delivery of its share of Participating Pumper <br />Replacement Water either as interruptible surface water deliveries from the Regional Water <br />System or as a transfer of storage credits from the SFPUC Storage Account. All revenue <br />received from such water sales or transfers shall be considered revenue related to the sale of <br />water and allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of <br />Proportional Water Use. All volumes of Participating Pumper Replacement Water delivered <br />shall not be construed to affect or increase the Individual Supply Guarantees of these <br />Wholesale Customers or to otherwise entitle them to any claim of water in excess of their <br />Individual Supply Guarantees. <br />D.Any operation and maintenance expenses incurred by the Participating Pumpers <br />and the SFPUC that are related to the operation of Project Facilities and Shared Facilities for <br />Project purposes shall be included as Regional pumping expenses under Section 5.05.B of this <br />Agreement and included as part of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. For rate setting <br />purposes, estimated Project operation and maintenance expenses shall be used as set forth in <br />Section 6.01 of this Agreement.

The SFPUC <br />shall provide the Wholesale Customers with copies of Project Operation and Maintenance <br />Expenses documentation provided by the Participating Pumpers under Section 9.2 of the <br />Project Operating Agreement. <br />E.The Project Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) adopted by <br />the SFPUC included mitigation measure HY-6 to prevent well interference impacts to the <br />Irrigation Well Owners. In mitigation measure HY-6, the SFPUC agreed to provide standby <br />supplies of Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water from the Regional Water System, to alter <br />Project operations, and implement other actions (e.g., well replacement) to avoid well <br />interference impacts that require the consent of the Irrigation Well Owners.
