Expenditures may be disapproved <br />only if they are not allowable expenditures as defined in Section 8 below. <br />8. Allowable expenditures from the Improvements Account. Allowable expenditures from <br />the Improvements Account include operation, maintenance and replacement expenses <br />associated with the Pumping I'lant power costs, Pumping Plant maintenance, remote terminal <br />units, remote stations, radio annual fees and maintenance and radio service, gate hoists, <br />electricity for gate hoists, water level and positioning sensors, radial gates, flow meters, pumps, <br />flume operation and maintenance, computer equipment, and annual audits related to the <br />operation, maintenance and replacement of the Improvements. TheAssociaTiotv may propose <br />rnodifications to this list during the preparation and approval process for annual work plans and <br />as part of the billing process set forth in paragraph 7 of this Contract. <br />(a) Allowable Pumping Charges: The ASSOC�AT�oN will be permitted to use the Pumping <br />Plant at any time but will only use funds from the Improvements Account for power costs, on a <br />pro rata basis, for those periods when the flow in the Canal at Indian Wash Flume gage is less <br />than 600 cubic feet per second (cfs). Since power costs are recorded monthly and volume of <br />water purnped is recorded daily, the calculation will be made by determining the pumping cost <br />per acre-foot by dividing the monthly power bill by the volume of water pumped in the same <br />period covered in the power bill. For the purpose of this Contract, the Canal � flows will be <br />considered to be above 600 cfs when the flow in the Canal at Indian Wash Flume gage is above <br />600 cfs for one hour or more (within a 24 hour period beginning at 12:00 a.m.). When this <br />occurs, the allowable expenditures from the Improvements Account will be reduced by <br />multiplying the above calculated cost per acre-foot times the volume pumped on those days. <br />The following example illustrates how expenditures from the Improvements Account would be <br />calculated. <br />If the total volume pumped into the Canal for a particular month is 1,000 acre-feet and the total <br />electric bill is $10,000.00, then the cost per acre-foot is $10. If the total volume pumped on days <br />when the Canal flow at Indian Wash Flume gage is greater than 600 cfs is 315 acre-feet, then <br />the total volume (1,000 acre-feet) minus the total volume pumped on days when the Canal flow <br />at Indian Wash Flume gage is greater than 600 cfs (315 acre-feet) equals 685 acre-feet. The <br />total allowable expenditures from the Improvements Account would be the cost per acre-foot <br />($10) times the reimbursable volume pumped (685 acre-feet), which equals $6,850. <br />9. Severability. To the extent that this contract may be executed and perFormanee of the <br />obligations of the Parties may be accomplished within the intent of ihe contra�t, the terms of this <br />contract are severable, and should any term or provision hereof be declared invalid or become <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />
