Ecological Model. The Parties agree that regional ecological model may be a useful tool in evaluating and predicting effects of SNWA groundwater development when coupled with a sufficiently resolved hydrologic model. Based upon the success of the ecological modeling effort being conducted by SNWA in Spring Valley, the TWG will evaluate the utility of an ecological model within Snake Valley during the Initial Period. If the TWG recommends and the Management Committee approves proceeding with an ecological modeling effort, the ecological model will be created in years one and two of the Baseline Period. During the remainder of the Baseline Period and throughout the Operational Period SNWA will maintain, update and operate an agreed-upon model in cooperation with the TWG. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, SNWA’s contributed funding of the ecological model during the Baseline Period shall be limited to $500,000. Any funding commitment for ecological modeling during the Operational Period is subject to appropriation approval by SNWA’s Board of Directors.
