PART 418--OPERATING CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES FOR THE NEWLANDS RECLAMATION PROJECT, NEVADA--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 418.33  Purpose of the implementation strategy.

    The intent of the implementation strategy for this part is to ensure 
that the District delivers water within entitlements at a reasonable 
level of efficiency as a long term average.
    (a) The incentives and disincentives provided in this part are 
designed to encourage local officials with responsibilities for Project 
operations to select and implement through their discretionary actions, 
operating strategies which achieve the principles of this part.
    (b) The specified efficiencies in the Expected Project Distribution 
System Efficiency table (Sec. 418.13 (a)(4)) were developed considering 
implementation of reasonable conservation measures, historic project 
operations, economics, and environmental effects.
    (c) The efficiency target will be used as a performance standard to 
establish at the end of each year on the basis of actual operations, 
whether the District is entitled to a performance bonus in the form of 
incentive water or a reduction in storage for the amount borrowed ahead.
