The importance of the objective "Promote Cost Effectiveness" is then factored in for this
stakeholder, relative to the other objectives [Step 3]. In this example, cost was weighted 9% by this
individual (out of a possible 100%).

The standardized score is then multiplied by its relative weight of importance in order to get a
partial score for the option [Step 4]. In this example, this calculation would result in a partial score
of:

Standardized Score for Cost (1) X Relative Weight for Cost of (0.09) = 0.09

The partial score of 0.09 is plotted on a graph for this generic option [Step 5]. This procedure is
repeated for all of the other performance measures for this generic option until a total score for the
option is calculated [Step 6].

Finally, the option's total score is compared to the total scores of the other options in order to rank
the options for this individual stakeholder.

After ranking the generic options for each stakeholder based on raw scores and individual
preferences, the results were compared among stakeholders in the basin. The number of times an
option was within the top five options for any stakeholder in the basin was compiled and plotted
on a chart. The resulting chart for each of the eight basins is attached to this memo. From those
charts, the generic options that were consistently highly ranked by the stakeholders in each basin
are identified with an "x" in Table 1 below.
