EXHIBIT A
Scope of Work
City of West Richland
2021 to 2026 Quad -City Water Right Reporting
November 2020
Background
The Cities of Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland (Cities) share the Quad -City Water Right
(QCWR) issued under Surface Water Permit No. S4 -30976P on September 15, 2003. The Cities
tabulate and report water supply, QCWR utilization, and mitigation requirements on a quarterly and
annual basis. These reports establish that the Cities are not exceeding their existing water rights and
that the Cities are meeting the mitigation requirements for the utilization of any water used under
the QCWR. The Cities have requested that RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) tabulate the QCWR quarterly
and annual data and prepare the required annual reports for the years 2021 through 2026.
The Cities also are required to update the Regional Water Forecast Conservation Plan (RWFCP) on a
regular basis that coincides with each city's Water System Plan (WSP) update. Each city's current
WSP is approved by the Washington State Department of Health into 2027. The City wishes to
provide separate authorization for funding of this element of the Scope of Work. Preparation of each
city's WSP update is anticipated to primarily take place in 2026; therefore, the RWFCP will be
required to be updated in 2026 and submitted to the Washington State Department of Ecology
(Ecology). This Scope of Work includes preparation of the Cities RWFCP update report in 2026 but
will not be initiated or funded without written authorization from the City.
Task 1— 2021 to 2026 Data Support and Annual Reporting
Objective: Assist the Cities by obtaining the quarterly data from each city, calculating the required
and available mitigation, and preparing annual reports.
Approach:
1.1 Obtain quarterly data from the Cities, review provided values and units, and populate the
mitigation volumes on a quarterly basis. Report the comparison between required and available
mitigation water volumes to the Cities.
1.2 Provide the Cities with an annual report each year for 2021 through 2026 comparing required
and available mitigation water volumes based on the data obtained and calculated within
subtask 1.1.
Assumptions:
• RH2 can rely on the data provided by the Cities and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAH) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) websites to
populate the Cities' withdrawals, returns, and actual Columbia Riverflows.

without the QCWR.
2.5 Prepare a draft Chapter 3 of the RWFCP Update (Conservation Program Components), including
a summary of each city's water use efficiency goals and measures, calculations of each city's
2025 supply, consumption, leakage, and McNary Pool return flows, and calculations of each
city's combined net withdrawals and consumption.
2.6 Prepare a draft Chapter 4 of the RWFCP Update (Regional Joint Use Strategy), including a
summary of historical QCWR allocation, use, and mitigation, projected (10- and 20 -year) QCWR
allocation, use, and mitigation, an updated BiOp Compliance Plan, and a list of any requests or
additional authorizations under the QCWR.
2.7 Transmit electronic PDF copies of the draft RWFCP Update chapters to the Cities for review and
comment.
2.8 Attend up to four (4) review meetings with the Cities and Ecology to present and discuss the
