  For paragraph 5(3)(b) of this notice, the total Basin adjustment percentage is given by the following formula:

  where:
proposed Basin limit is the amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 5(3)(a) of this notice.
Basin reference limit has the same meaning as in the Water Act.

Note 3: Section 7.19 of the Basin Plan operates to ensure that the total Basin adjustment percentage is no more than 5%.
