2 Ag Stock Watering TankAg Stock Watering Tank Measure Overview Current Category: Small Saver Current Status: Under Review Current Sunset Date: May, 2013 Reason for Update/Review: Response to recommendation memo; and sunset date approachingrecommendation memo Baseline Type: Current Practice

3 Summary of Updates Changes based on Recommendation Memo – Clean workbook, use latest ProCost template – Extrapolated metered site to full heating season – Used degree days as the basis for scaling the metered site savings to other heating zones – Adjust Alberta study results to NW climate temps Other Changes – Removed TMY3 data and analysis since HDD is now used to scale savings between site and other heating zones – Changed zone weighting of savings to be based on 2008 Farm and Ranch Survey data for acreage of PNW farms with “other” irrigation water sources* – Averaged data from Oregon Trail Electric (OTE) and Prairie Agriculture & Machinery Institute (PAMI) based on new data available * Indicates remaining issue to be discussed with RTF

4 Remaining Issues for RTF Discussion Recommendation memo items not completed – Note size of tank used in original study Contacted Steve Schauer at OTE but no recollection of size – Investigate sizes of tanks sold and how they compare with the tanks used in metering studies No sales data available; very few utilities provide incentives Steve Schauer stated most are small (<10 gallons) Online retail search found two main sizes (8 and 14 gallon)

5 Remaining Issues for RTF Discussion See SavingsData&Analysis Tab in workbookworkbook Weighting for zones – Based on council zone weights (res. population based) – Based on farm and ranch survey for “other” irrigation water uses (acreage based)

6 Staff Proposal Further analysis of unfulfilled recommendation memo items is not worth effort given minimal use of measure and categorization as a Small Saver.

7 Decision “I _______ move to approve the updates to the Agricultural Stock Watering Tank UES measure; set the measure status to “Active”; and change the sunset date to May, 2018.”
