Membership issues re: SPWRAP, Inc. <br />As we go further and further into the formation of SPWRAP, Inc., <br />more and more questions arise as to how certain entities or persons <br />should be included in the organization. Following are some examples <br />to start discussions: <br />1. Division of Wildlife <br />Should they fit into class X and how do we calculate their <br />Units? Possibilities: they are class X and treated similar to <br />a ditch company, but on diversions, not land acreage. E.g. <br />5yr avg. diversions in AF = Units <br />2. Members in projects that supply multiple entities (like Windy <br />Gap Firming or Reuter Hess) <br />For municipal-type projects involving multiple participants, I <br />have told some that each participant would count their part <br />of such a project as part of their overall supply portfolio. So, <br />if they have delivered water from that project, it is added to <br />their total deliveries for the purposes of SPWRAP. <br />A related issue comes up regarding an entity that is part of a <br />multiple-participant project like those above, but doesn't <br />belong to SPWRAP. What does the FWS do about them <br />and is the overall project jeopardized (so to speak) by the <br />lack of full participant participation in SPWRAP? I would say <br />that if the state is offsetting according to their water plans, <br />the project should remain covered for ESA. <br />3. Water providers that have a common filter plant that delivers <br />water to multiple entities. <br />Does, or can, the filter plant be the provider rather than the <br />entities themselves (example is like Carter Lake Filter Plant <br />that serves two large rural domestic providers who in turn <br />serve several small towns)
