~~Step 3. Best Management Practices for Agricultural Contractors~~

Step 4. Best Management Practices for Municipal and Industrial
Contractors

This part of the plan identifies District-specific programs to
accomplish the BMPs. It is understood that programs developed by
wholesale agencies may not be implemented at the retail customer level,
except within the District\'s retail service area. For the purposes of
these Criteria, the plan needs to describe the program that the District
thinks will best accomplish the practice. The development and
implementation of the BMPs in a wholesaler\'s plan is the responsibility
of Reclamation\'s contractor.

The success of some of the practices will depend on cooperative work
with other entities. It is recognized that there may be constraints to
successful implementation of planned programs. Monitoring and updating
will allow the District to modify any planned programs that do not
accomplish the practice as designed.

The forms for Step 3 are not designed to provide fill-in space for all
of the necessary information. The fill-in spaces provided are considered
essential \"starting\" information and the District\'s plan should
include appropriate additional information.

# A. Critical Best Management Practices for Municipal and Industrial Contractors

This section lists the BMPs that all Districts will implement or are
already implementing. Provide a description of the implementation plan
and include time schedules, budgets and monitoring plans. Each District
shall also complete and submit the California Urban Water Conservation

# B. Exemptible Best Management Practices for Municipal and Industrial Contractors

Each District shall develop a program to implement the following BMPs
unless the District demonstrates that the practice does not make sense
for the District to implement. Districts may spend time studying the
most effective way to implement a BMP or whether a BMP is appropriate
for a District. For appropriate BMPs, provide a description of the
implementation plan and include time schedules, budgets and monitoring
plans. If a BMP is to be studied, provide details and schedules of the
study. These studies must be completed expeditiously and before the next
Plan update. Districts should follow the exemption criteria (see Step 5)
to justify exemptions and provide the exemption in this Step. See
Attachment B for examples of circumstances under which BMPs are not
applicable.

Step 5. Exemption Process

Some BMPs are not appropriate or possible for some Districts to
implement. To document an exemption provide the basis, rationale, and
details for excluding a BMP; such documentation shall address, as
appropriate, cost-effectiveness, financial feasibility, and
environmental or legal constraints to BMP implementation.

BMP considered for exemption: Applicability (see Appendix B)

Proposed reason for exemption:

### cost-effectiveness {#cost-effectiveness .unnumbered}

Include or attach a benefit-cost analysis which demonstrates that the
costs to the District outweigh the benefits to the District over the
life of the measure. Perform the analysis by comparing the present value
of all benefits to the present value of all costs. Document the
projected/estimated benefits and costs and the methodology for analysis
(benefits and costs should be quantified to the extent possible).
Perform the analysis from the District perspective and include al least
the benefits and costs listed in the September 1996 Criteria for
Evaluating Water Management Plans

### financial feasibility {#financial-feasibility .unnumbered}

Document the following:

1.  The benefits and costs of the BMP to the District; and

2.  The District funding needed to implement the cost-effective BMPs;
    and

3.  A discussion regarding why the District cannot finance the BMP
    through rate adjustments, assessments, etc.; and

4.  A discussion of the District\'s reasonable efforts to secure funding
    from other entities which include, but are not limited to, lending
    institutions and bonding authorities and an explanation of why these
    entities would not provide funding; and

5.  The required amount of a grant or subsidy that would be needed to
    feasibly implement the BMP if financing or partnerships could not be
    obtained.

### environmental constraints {#environmental-constraints .unnumbered}

Document the critical environmental issues and known (qualitative and/or
quantitative) negative impacts of the BMP and an explanation of why
effective mitigation of these impacts is not possible. If mitigation of
the environmental impacts is possible, the practice must be implemented
unless it can be exempted by another exemption category. For example, if
the mitigation costs make the project economically infeasible, a
discussion of the mitigation plan and necessary mitigation costs should
be included as a part of the economic analysis.

### legal constraints {#legal-constraints .unnumbered}

Detail the following:

1.  A list of any known laws, regulations, court decisions, or other
    legal constraints that make it illegal for the District to implement
    the BMP; and

2.  A list of the steps that would be required to remove these
    constraints; and

3.  A description of what steps the District has taken to remove these
    constraints; and

4.  Documentation of efforts by the District to work with other entities
    that would have the legal authority to carry out the BMP within the
    District\'s service area.
