pertaining thereto, the following policies relating to inter-
connections of the electric system of the City of Blair, Nebraska
• with cogeneration and small power production facilities, rates fo'r
sales of electric energy to such facilities, and rates for purchases
of electric energy from such facilities are hereby established:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this
ordinance the following definitions will apply.
"Cogeneration facility" means a facility which produces
electric energy and steam or other forms of useful energy (such;
as heat) which are used for industrial, commercial, heating, or
cooling. purposes.
"Qualifying cogeneration facility" means a cogeneration facility
that meets the requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission regarding ownership, fuel use, and operating and
efficiency standards.
"Small power production facility" means a facility which
produces electric energy solely by the use, as a primary energy
source, of biomass, waste, renewable resources, or any combina-
tion "thereof totaling not greater than 80 megawatts at one site.
" Qualifying sma power production facility" means a small
power production facility that meets the requirements of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regarding ownership, fuel
use, fuel efficiency, and reliability.
"Interconnection costs" means the reasonable costs of con-
nection, switching metering, transmission,.distribution, safety
provisions, and administrative costs incurred by.:the electric
utility directly related to the installation and maintenance
of the physical -facilities necessary to permit interconnected
operations with a quai to the extent.such costs
are in excess of the corresponding costs which•t.he electric
utility would have incurred if it.had.not"e.ngaged in inter-
connected operations, but instead generated'.an equivalent amount
of.el.ectric energy itself or purchased an.equivalent amount of
energy or capacity from other sources. ( Interconn.ection costs
do not include any costs involved in the calculation of avoided
costs.)
' "Avoided costs" means the incremental costs to an electric
utility of electric energy or capacity or both which, but for
the purchase from qualifying facilities, such utiiity would
generate itself or purchase from another source.
SECTION 2.., INTERCONNECTIONS WITH 'QUALIFYING FACILITIES%
Qualifying facilities desiring interconnect with the electric
system of the City of Blair', Nebraska, make application to
the Board of Public Works for such interconnection. Applicants
shall use such forms as ire prescribed by the City of Blair,
Nebraska and shall furnish all information requested.
The City of Blair, Nebraska, shall establish reasonable
standards to be met by qualifying facilities to ensure safety and
reliability of interconnected operations. Such . standards may
include but shall not be limited to the following areas: power
factor; voltage regulation; fault, overcurrent, and over -under
voltage protection; harmonics; synchronization; and isolation.
Interconnection costs associated with the interconnection
with a qualifying'facility shall be paid by such qualifying facility.
Qualifying facilities shall be required to execute contractual agree-
ments with the City of Blair, Nebraska before an interconnection
is established.
SECTION 3. RATES FOR SALES OF ELECTRIC ENERGY TO
QUALIFYING FACILITIES. Rates for sales of electric energy to
qualifying facilities shall be those current standard rates adopted
from time to time by resolution of the Mayor and City Council which
apply to other customers of the utility in the same classification(s)
of electric service.
SECTION 4. RATES PURCHASES OF ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM
QUALIFYING FACILITIES. Rates •for purchases of electric energy
from qualifying facilities shall be established by resolution
of the Mayor and City Council.
Such rates shall be just and reasonable to the electric
consumer of the utility.and in the public interest, shall not
discriminate against qualifying cogeneration and small power
'in no case is the utility required to pay morethan the avoided
costs.
production facilities, and shall be related to avoided costs; however,
Standard rates shall be established for purchases from
qualifying facilities with a design capacity of 100 kilowatts or
less. Rates for purchases from qualifying facilities with a
design capacity over 100 kilowatts may be standard rates or may
be by individual contracts, the terms of which are fair and
reasonable.
SECTION S. EFFECTIVE. This ordinance shall take

SUBJECT: Cogenerating and Small Power Producing Facilities Policy
The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) as supplemented by Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order No. 69 issued February 19, 1980 en-
courages cogeneration and small power production. The Omaha Public Power
District (District) is required by PURPA and FERC guidelines to interconnect
with, operate in parallel with, purchase electricity from, and sell electricity
to customers with qualified facilities. These guidelines dictate that the
District's customers shall not be penalized as a result of adding cogenerators
and small power producers. This means that the District's other customers will
not experience a higher cost for electricity, the District will not be required
to make additional investments, and the quality of service will not be lowered.
On January 21, 1981 at a public hearing, the District received information from
customers and others interested in cogeneration and small power production.
Utilizing this information, FERC guidelines, and data available from electric
utility sources, the District's staff developed a policy concerning cogenerators
and small power producers. The policy which is attached covers the following:
it is recommended that the policy be approved as the District's policy for co-
generating and small power producing facilities.

OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRi.CT'S
POLICY FOR
COGENERATING AND SMALL POWER PRODUCING FACILITIES
The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) as supplemented
by Federal. Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order No. 69 issued
February 19, 1980 encourages cogeneration and small power production.
Cogeneration is the production of electric energy as well as steam or
other forms of useful energy (such as heat) which are used for indus-
trial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes. Small power production •
is a facility with less than 80,000 kilowatts of installed capacity which
produces electricity from such primary energy sources as biomass, waste,
renewable resources including wind, solar, geothermal, or hydroelectric
energy.
The Omaha Public Power District (District) is required by PURPA
and FERC guidelines to interconnect with, operate in parallel with, pur-
chase electricity from, and sell electricity to customers with qualified
facilities. These guidelines make it clear that the District's cus-
tomers are to be no worse off by addition of cogenerators and small
power producers. This means that they will not see a higher cost of
electricity, the District will not be required to make additional invest-
ments, and the quality of service will not be lowered.
The policy concerning the operation of cogeneration and small power
producing facilities in the District's service area is as follows:
1. The District will encourage cogeneration and small power pro-
ducers in the District's service area. However, the District's
other customers will not be detrimentally affected due to the
addition of cogeneration and small power producers.
2. The District will qualify a customer's generation facilities
according to guidelines outlined in FERC Order No. 70. If the
District does not qualify the facility, the customer can request
a determination from FERC.
3. There will be a written agreement between the District and the
customer. The agreement will outline the interconnection point,
the metering and other equipment, inspection and maintenance
of the interconnecting equipment, the rates involved, and the
responsibilities of each party involved. The District will not
operate in parallel without a signed agreement.
4. If the District determines that a qualifying facility is not
performing to the established standards or is reducing the
quality of service to other District customers, the customer
must disconnect the qualifying facility from parallel operation.
The qualifying facility must remain disconnected until corrective
meas.ares - have been taken and the facility no longer has detri-
mental affects on the quality of service provided to other Dis-
trict customers. In the event the customer does not discontinue
parallel operation, the District will terminate electric service
to the customer.
5. The District will provide energy sales to the qualifying facility.
This includes supplementary power, backup power, maintenance power,
and interruptible power which the customer with a qualified
facility may require.
6. The District will purchase electric energy from the qualifying
facility provided the appropriate metering has been installed.
The rate for this purchase will be based on the District's avoided
costs.
7. The customer with a qualified facility will pay now and in the
future for all additional equipment, installation costs, and
maintenance costs which are over and above those required if the
customer did not have a qualified facility.

The rates for purchases from qualified facilities with more than 100
kilowatts of generating capacity will be based on the District's avoided
costs and will be established for each facility.- These rates will be approved
by the District's Board of Directors and will be effective until changed or
modified by the District's Board of Directors.
RATES FOR SALES TO CUSTOMER
The District will - provide energy sales to the qualifying facility.
This includes supplementary power, backup power, maintenance power, and
interruptible power in accordance with the requirements of the qualifying
facility.
Supplementary power is the electric energy or capacity supplied by
the District regularly to the qualifying facility in addition to that the
facility generates itself. Supplementary power will be supplied on the
District's appropriate standard residential or general service rate schedule
in accordance with the amount of energy and demand the qualifying facility
received,
Backup power is the energy or capacity supplied by the District to
replace energy ordinarily generated by the facility's own generating equip-
ment during an unscheduled outage of the facility. Maintenance power is
the electric energy or capacity supplied by the District during scheduled
outages of the qualifying facility. Backup power and maintenance power would
be supplied in accordance with the appropriate District's general service
rate schedule with the exception that the ratchet provision will not be
applied as long as the District has surplus generating capacity. The
maintenance power must be scheduled during the seasonal and /or daily light
load periods of the District.
Interruptible power is the electric energy or capacity supplied by
the District subject to Interruption by the District under specified con-
ditions. Interruptible power will be supplied in accordance with the
District's current interruptible schedule for the general service customers.
Ail sizes of qualifying facilities could obtain any one or all of
these types of power provided the appropriate metering has been installed.
The energy will be billed in accordance with the District's appropriate
rate schedule. -

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
EFFECTIVE AS OF MARCH 12, 1981
INTRODUCTION
The National Energy Act was signed by the President in November
1978. The Omaha Public Power District (District) is affected by the
policies outlined in the act concerning energy conservation, the use of
fossil fuels, and regulatory activities in the utility industry. The
part of this act concerned with the regulatory activities is entitled
"Public Utility. Regulatory Policies Act" ( PURPA).
PURPA has six titles which are having varying impacts on the Dis-
trict. The titles concerned with natural gas utilities, small hydro
projects, and crude oil transporation will affect the District very
little. The miscellaneous provisions title establishing the Utility
Regulatory institute, Coal Research Laboratories, and procedures for ob-
taining right -of -ways for transmission facilities may have some affect
on the District.
By PURPA's definition, the District is a non - regulated utility. This
means the District's elected Board of Directors is the ratesetting authority.
The other two titles have or will have a significant impact on the
District's activities. The purposes of Title 1, Retail Regulatory Policies
for Electric Utilities, are to encourage --
1. conservation of energy supplied by electric utilities,
2. the optimization of the efficient use of facilities and re-
sources by electric utilities, and
3. equitable rates to electric consumers.
These three purposes have been objectives of the District even prior to
the enactment of the National Energy Act.
Following public hearings during July 1980, the District's Board of
Directors adopted standards concerning twelve utility practices and
ratemaking concepts. These standards are available for review from the
District's Public Information office.
Title II of PURPA consists largely of directives to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to initiate studies and establish
procedural rules on a wide range of electric utility matters including
interconnection of utility systems, wheeling, and cogeneration and small
power production. Also, Title II establishes that for the purposes of
interconnection and wheeling, the publicly -owned electric utility is
under the jurisdiction of FERC. The jurisdiction for interconnection
and wheeling is for all electric utilities regardless of size and owner-
ship.
COGENERATION AND SMALL POWER PRODUCTION
PURPA as supplemented by FERC Order No. 69 issued February 19,
1980 encour cogeneration and small power production. The enabling
legislation indicated that using alternate sources of energy and fuels
more efficiently can make a significant contribution to the nation's
effort to conserve its energy resources,
Cogeneration is the production of electric ener as well as steam
or other forms of useful energy (such as heat) which are used for indus-
trial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes. Small power production
is a facility with less than 80,000 kilowatts of installed capacity which
produces electricity from such primary energy sources as biomass, waste,
renewable resources including wind, solar, geothermal, or hydroelectric
energy.
Cogeneration is not a new concept to the electric utility industry
or the District. Cogeneration has been utilized in some industries for
more than 50 years. The District has delivered steam to the meat packing
plants and other customers after it had been used to generate electricity
at the South Omaha Plant. The South Omaha Plant was built during the
1930's and continued to supply steam to various customers after it had been
used to generate electricity until the plant was retired in 1975. PURPA
is primarily concerned with cogeneration and /or small power producing
facilities owned by persons who are not normally in the business of gen-
erating electricity.
The criteria for a cogeneration and /or small power production
faciiity to become a qualifying facility is outlined in Section 201 of
PURPA and FERC Order No. 70. The customers facilities will be considered
a qualified facility when the District responds favorably to the cus-
tomer's request to qualify it. When the District does not believe the
facility qualifies in accordance- with FERC's guidelines, the customer can
request a determination from FERC.
The District is required by PURPA and FERC guidelines to intercon-
nect with, operate in parallel with, purchase electricity from, and sell
electricity to customers with qualified facilities. Also, these guide -
lines make it clear that the District's other customers are to be no worse
off by addition of cogeneration and small power producers. This means
that they will not see a higher cost of electricity, the District will
be required to make no additional investments, and the quality of service
will not be lowered.
The interconnection of the District's facilities with those of a
qualifying facility for parallel operation and an interchange of energy
between the two requires the consideration of several technical aspects
which are not normally involved for the interconnection of the District
to a non - generating customer.
As it does with all interconnections with energy sources, the
trict will require an agreement be completed and signed between the
customer with a qualified facility and the District. This agreement
wili outli ne the interconnection point, the metering requirements, and
other equipment for safe and reliable operation, ownership of equipment,
inspection and maintenance of the interconnecting equipment, the rates
involved with the exchange of electricity, and the responsibilities of
each party involved in the agreement.
INTERCONNECTION POINT
The point of interconnection between the District and the small
power producer or cogenerator will be the kilowatthour and/or kilowatt
meters. This is also the interconnection point with the District's non -
generating customers. The District will own the metering equipment re-
gardless of its location. The customer will provide the disconnect and
protective devices on the customer's side of the meter.
The customer will also provide suitable space on his premises for the
District's transforming, switching, protective, and /or capacitor equip-
ment which is required by the District. The customer will make or pro-
cure the easements, satisfactory to the District, across the property
owned or controlled by the customer for the District's lines or extensions
thereof required to furnish service to the customer.
METERING
The metering requirements between the District and the qualifying
facility, will depend upon the facility, size, and the type of rate
schedule being used. The type of sales occurring between the District
and qualifying facilities will have impact on the amount of metering.
The varying meter options the District will provide are shown in Options
1 - 5. The customer will pay for the additional metering and equipment
required for the qualifying facility. Since the energy received from
the qualifying facility will fall between the limits of strictly firm
power and strictly non -firm power, the metering needs will be at least
sufficient for billing purposes. All meters provided by the District
will have detent which will prevent the meter from running backwards.
The District may not require the second meter provided the
qualified facility's output is small compared to the customer's elec-
trical requirements. The customer must request this exemption in writing
and meet all other requirements for parallel operation outlined herein.
SAFETY AND OPERATION
The introduction of a source of electrical energy into a non - source
(radial) electrical network presents safety problems to the public, to
the customers, and to the District's personnel who may work on the system.
Most automatic and manual switching arrangements on the District's trans-
mission and distribution system are based on the premise that upon open-
ing the line or section of the system being controlled it becomes de-
energized. If for any reason the qualifying facility remains energized
and connected to the isolated portion of the system, or for any reason
reconnects to the system before planned service resotration, an unsafe
situation will exist which can endanger employees working on the system,
people trapped in motor vehicles or structures, firemen or other emergency
personnel and equipment working near the line, and customer equipment.
To eliminate such unsafe situations, the installation of special
automatic control and switching equipment at the expense of the qualify-
ing facility customer is required. The switching equipment will include a
District controlled device (switch) that will physically and visually
open the circuit to the qualifying facility. The device must --
1.. open all cables to the qualifying facility except the neutral,
2. be operable by the District's personnel at any time without
notice to the qualifying facility and with unrestricted access,
3. be lockable in the open position by the utility, and
4. be located near the interconnection point.
The District may grant an exception to this requirement, provided --
1. the customer's generating equipment must be energized by the
District's electrical system to operate,
2. the customer has provided the District with a complete and
current set of drawings and equipment specifications,
3. the District is notified of all future modifications to the
customer's system and these modifications do not change the
operating characteristics of the system, and
4. the District has tested and verified this operation.
The switching equipment, if required, will be paid for by the customer.
INSPECTION, TEST, AND MAINTENANCE
To insure that the equipment at the point of interconnection is in
a safe and reliable operating condition, the following inspection, testing,
and maintenance procedures will be required:
1. Initial acceptance and subsequent inspections and tests will
be witnessed by both the District and qualifying facility
personnel at agreed upon times. inspections and tests will
be required on at least an annual basis.
2. Complete inspection, test, and maintenance records will be main-
tained by the customer and available to the District for review.
3. The inspection will include wiring and hookup compliance with
the National Electric Code (NEC), National Electrical Safety Code
(NESC), utility standards, and city, county, and state electrical
codes.
- 4. The testing should include --
a. relay settings and breaker actuation,
b. synchronization, frequency matching, phase angle, phase
rotation,
c. voltage regulation, harmonic output, electromagnetic in-
terference, and
d. safety.
There are some conflicts between the National Electric Code and
the National Electric Safety Code particularly in the grounding
requirements. These conflicts will be eliminated by utilizing
the local codes and requirements.
The District reserves the right to inspect on request at any rea-
sonable time all protective equipment including all relays and- circuit
breakers at the interconnection. The inspection will include the tripping
of the breaker by the protective. relay.
The District will be responsible for maintenance of all equipment
supplied by the District. The qualifying facility owner will be re-
sponsible for the maintenance of the qualifying facility's generating
and protective equipment, and other equipment supplied by the customer.
POWER FACTOR
Power factor is defined as the ratio between true power (kW) and
apparent power (kVA) in alternating circuits. Typical residential and
general service load place a lagging var on the District's distribution
system which lowers the power factor. Leading vars are usually provided
by installing a capacitor bank near the lagging var load to improve power
factor.
A lagging power factor results in the need for additional capacitors
on the distribution system and increased kVA loading and losses in all
facilities between the load and the capacitor bank. Special metering is
required to monitor the power factor at the customer's location. Cur-
rently, the District only installs kVA meters on larger general service
customers.
Some qualifying facility generators may require the District to pro-
vide those vars so that their facility will generate electricity. When
the District provides the vars, this is an additional cost for the inter-
connection of this type of qualifying facility. Some qualifying facili-
ties may have sychronous generators capable of providing the utility sys-
tem with vars. Because these two types of qualifying facility generators
add a radically different qualifying facility load and power factor rela-
tionship to the District's system, metering which will monitor the power
factor and var flow may be required at the discretion of the District and
the customer will pay for the additional metering. If the qualifying
facility requires the District to install more capacitors to serve the
load, the customer will be responsible for these additional costs.
VOLTAGE REGULATION
The District's voltage standard utilized in the design of
the electric distribution system specifies that the voltage provided will
be at a plus or minus 5% of the nominal voltage level and that no cus-
tomer will see more than 5% difference between their maximum and minimum
voltage. The standard nominal voltage levels for utilities are outlined
by the American National Standards Institute Incorporated - (ANSI -C- 84.1).
If it is determined that the qualifying facility is causing the voltage
supplied to the District's customers to vary outside these established
guidelines, the qualifying facility will be required to terminate its
parallel operation and to install or pay for having the District install
voltage regulation equipment which will return the distribution voltage
to the established guidelines of the District.
VOLTAGE FLICKER
Voltage flicker is a term commonly used to describe a significant
fluctuation of customer voltage caused by rapidly fluctuating loads,
The largest flicker occurs at the point where the fluctuating load is
supplied. However, this fluctuating load can cause excessive voltage
flicker in adjacent facilities depending upon the magnitude of the load
and the electrical characteristics of the electric distribution system.
'With new technology and new concepts being used in the design of genera-
tion units available to the qualifying facilities, there may be a voltage
flicker problem. If a qualifying facility causes voltage flicker which
is unacceptable to the District and /or the District's customers, the
qualifying facility will be required to modify their equipment or
limit operation as necessary to reduce the voltage flicker to an acceptable
level. If changes to the District's electrical system is required to
reduce the voltage flicker, then the cost of these changes will be paid
for by the qualifying facility.
HARMONICS
Harmonics are wave forms whose frequencies are multiples of the
fundamental (60 Hz) wave form. The combination of harmonics and funda-
mental cause a non - sinusoidal periodic wave. Harmonics in power systems
are the result of rapidly changing toads and non - linear effects.
There are voltage and current harmonics each requiring separate
analysis. The effects are dependent upon the magnitude and frequency
of the harmonic and the characteristics of the electrical system. Some
possible problems associated with harmonics are --
1. capacitor bank overloading,
2. overvoitages such as those due to ferroresonance,
3. excessive currents,
4. dielectric instability of insulated cables,
5. torque disturbance and .overheating of synchronous machines,
6. errors in induction kilowatthour meters,
7. electronic control and computer system problems, and
8. communication (telephone). interference.
Voltage harmonics can adversely affect customer loads; current harmonics
can adversely affect capacitor banks.
If it is determined that the qualifying facility is the cause of
either voltage or current harmonics or both which are adversely affecting
the other customers of the District, the 'qualifying facility w i l l be
required to discontinue its parallel operation until it has corrected
the problem. The costs of these corrections will be paid by the qualify-
ing facility.
FAULT OVERCURRENT AND UNDER - VOLTAGE PROTECTION
A fault in an electrical circuit is any failure which interferes
with the normal flow of current. The two types of faults are short and
open. A short is an unintentional electrical connection between a supply
conductor and another conducting medium which results in high current
flow in the supply conductor. An open is a discontinuance in the
conductor which results in no flow of current. Over- current protection
is a method provided to open a circuit when the current exceeds a value
that will cause an excessive or dangerous temperature in conductors or
conducting insulation. Over- under - voltage protection is a method
provided to regulate the voltage of a circuit to prevent damage to con
ductors or conductor insulation and cause voltage breakdown damage to a
plant. Fault and overload protection are required to prevent damage to both
the District and the customer's equipment. Without fault detecting
equipment, a qualifying facility could continue to feed a faulty system
causing equipment damage and an unsafe condition. The interrupting and
disconnecting devices should be rated properly.
The National Electric Codes, Articles 230,'240 and 280; local
building codes, and the District's service regulations have the juris-
diction on the usage of and the location of the protective devices.
The District's electric system's characteristics may be affected
by the fault current of the qualifying facility. The fault current, pre-
viously supplied only the District, now becomes the sum of that available
from the District and from the qualifying facility. This additional cur-
rent probably will not preclude the use of protection normally used on
the District's distribution system. However, if directional relaying is
used, the addition of the qualifying facility may require modifications
of the relaying scheme for the relays to operate properly. The costs
for any changes to the protective scheme of the District's transmission
and distribution systems caused by the addition of the qualifying facility
will be paid for by the qualifying facility.
GROUNDING
Grounding is a method of protection for electrical voltage and
excessive current. It is used to protect both people and equipment by
providing a low impedence path for electrical current. Grounding con-
sists of a law impedence .connection to earth either through an electrode
driven into the ground or by connection to a metalic underground water
system or both.
The jurisdiction of the District ends at the District's side of
the meter. Article 250 of the National Electric Code and local building_
codes will determine the grounding methods required for the qualifying
facility. However, the disconnect switches provided by the qualifying
facility should not open the neutral when the switch is open.
SYNCHRONIZING, SECTIONALIZING, ISOLATING
Two isolated alternating current (AC) systems can be out of phase -
with respect to each other. The power flows that will result from tying
these systems together can result in equipment damage. Normally, the
qualifying facility's generator and breaker would suffer the most im-
pact.
Qualifying facilities with self- excited AC systems will be required
to have automatic synchronizing devices to prevent damage to the qualify-
ing facility's equipment and the District's equipment. Also, the qualify-
ing facilities will not be allowed to operate in parallel unless the
distribution line is energized or the District grants the qualified facility
permission.
A disconnect switch must be provided by the qualifying facility, un-
less the District has granted an exemption, so that it can be locked in
an open position and only unlocked by the District. This switch is for
the safety of the District's personnel working on this line. The
qualifying facilities will install an isolation transformer between the
DC and AC inverter and the utility system to prevent DC power from en-
tering the District's system. The District may grant an exemption to the
isolation transformer equipment, if the customer with the qualifying
facility will be the only customer on the District's transformer as
determined by the District's existing distribution engineering prac-
tices.
For a cogenerator and /or small power producer above 1,000 kW or
which is considered "large" when compared to the capacity of the District's
connecting line, synchronism-check relaying and skilled operators will
be provided by the qualifying facility to protect the District's equip-
ment. For smaller qualifying facilities and where skilled operators will
be employed, manual synchronizing supervised by a. synchronism -check re-
lay will be acceptable. Unsupervised manual synchronizing will not be
permitted.
AC LINE VOLTAGE PRESENCE REQUIREMENTS
Large synchronous qualifying facilities may be able to support all
loads connected to the same District's lines. Loss of the District's
power source would then be undetected. The qualifying facility must pro-
vide equipment which would disconnect for line fault. The District line
source breaker will be blocked from closing by voltage -check relays to
avoid reclosing out of phase. The cost of these requirements will be the
responsibility of the qualifying facility.
PHASE UNBALANCE CAUSED BY SINGLE -PHASE AND THREE -PHASE QUALIFYING FACILITIES
All qualifying facilities must provide generation at the voltage level
of the interconnection with the District such as 120/240 volts, 7970/13,800
volts, or 69,000 volts. All qualifying facilities of over 100 kW will be
- 27 -
balanced three -phase generators or inverters. No phase unbalance will
be allowed.
SALES OF ENERGY TO THE CUSTOMER
The District will provide energy sales to the qualifying facility.
This includes supplementary power, backup power, maintenance power, and
interruptible power in accordance with the requirements of the qualify-
ing facility.
Supplementary power is the electric energy or capacity supplied by
the District regularly to the qualifying facility in addition to
that the facility generates itself. Supplementary power will be supplied
on the District's appropriate standard residential or general service
rate schedule in accordance with the amount of energy and demand the
qualifying facility received.
Backup power is the energy or capacity supplied by the District
to replace energy ordinarily generated by the facility's own generating
equipment during an unscheduled outage of the facility. Maintenance
power is the electric energy or capacity supplied by the District during
scheduled outages of the qualifying facility. Backup power and maintenance
power would be supplied in accordance with the appropriate District's
general service rate schedule with the exception that the ratchet pro-
vision will not be applied as long as the District has surplus generating
capacity. The maintenance power must be scheduled during the seasonal
and /or daily light load periods of the District.
Interruptible power is the electric energy or capacity supplied by
the District subject to interruption by the District under specified
conditions. Interruptible power will be supplied in accordance with
the District's current interruptible schedule for the general service
customers.

PURCHASES FROM THE QUALIFYING FACILITY
Title II. of PURPA requires for purchases to be just and rea
sonabie to the District's consumers. and - in the public's. interest. These
, •
rates must not discriminate against the qualifying facilities. The FEU'
guidelines indicate the following:
1. There is nothing which requires the District to pay more than
the avoided cost for the purchases. .Avoided costs are defined
as the incremental costs to the District of electric energy
or capacity or both which but for the purchase from the qualify-
ing facility the District would generate itself or purchase
from another source.
2. To be considered as new capacity and covered by "PURPA, the con-
struction of the qualifying facility must have begun after_
November 8, 1978. if the qualifying facility was under con-
struction prior to the adoption of FURPA, then the economics
to encourage cogeneration are considered to have existed at
whatever agreement the facility and the .District had at that
time.
3. Standard rates are required for purchases from qualifying facili-
ties with a design capacity of 100 kilowatts or less. The rate
may be different for each technology used by the qualifying faci-
lity.
The District estimated avoided costs for the period 1981 through
1985, the District's generating capacity addition plan for the next
ten years, and the estimated capacity and energy costs of known firm
purchases are available for the District's customers. This data will
be reviewed and revised as changes occur.
The standard rates for facilities of 100 kilowatts or less and rates
which will be negotiated with qualifying facilities with more than 100
kilowatts of capacity may vary from the avoided cost of the District
according to the District's evaluation of the reliability, availability,
and economics of the facility. During this evaluation the District will
determine answers to the following questions:
IS THE QUALIFYING FACILITY RELIABLE?
Can the qualifying facility be dispatched by the District and
will it be available for some time into the future or is it only
available for a short period of time?
IS THE FACILITY AVAILABLE?
If the capacity or energy is available during the District's daily
and /or seasonal peaks, its value to the District is enhanced. Like-
wise, if the scheduled maintenance of the District's generating
plants and qualifying facility can be coordinated or if the qualify-
ing facility is available during utility emergencies, the value of
the energy to the District will be enhanced. The District will con-
sider the aggregate capacity of the technology utilized by the qualify-
ing facility in determining the availability of a facility.
IS THE FACILITY ECONOMICAL FOR THE DISTRICT?
The value of the energy to the District will be enhanced if the
energy reduces the amount of fossil fuel consumption, reduces the
energy utilized by the District's distribution system, and /or de-
lays a. decision towards building new generating units.
The past performance of a qualifying facility will be utilized in
determining the answers to these questions. If no past performance in-
formation is available for a facility, a scenario will be developed for .
the facility using the best information available. This scenario will
then be utilized to determine the reliability, availability, and economics
of the facility. Once the reliability, availability, and economics of a
facility are determined, they will be regularly reviewed and revised as
the performance of the facility warrants..
The reliability, availability, and economics of the qualifying
facility will be utilized in determining the rate for the purchase of
electricity from the customer. These rates will be revised in the future
by the District's Board of Directors based on changes to the avoided
costs, reliability, availability, and economics of the qualifying facili-
ties.
TAXES
To the total of all charges for service under the appropriate rate
schedule or schedules shall be added the applicable state and municipal
taxes; and also added shall be any new or additional tax or taxes or
increases in the rates of existent taxes imposed after the date of the
schedules by any governmental authority upon the service rendered by the
District.
Any changes to the metering and other equipment required by the
change in taxes will be at the expense of the qualifying facility.
SAFETY AND OPERATING RELIABILITY
The FERC guidelines provide that the District may establish rea-
sonable standards to insure safety for the qualifying facility's and
the District's personnel and for the public, and to insure the reliability
of interconnected operations. Recommendations concerning these standards
can come from the qualifying facility personnel, the District's personnel
or any other person. A public hearing was held in January 1981 to receive
information concerning interconnected operations.
if the District determines that a qualifying facility is not per-
forming to the established standards and is reducing the quality of
service to other District customers, the customer must disconnect the
qualifying facility from parallel operation. The qualifying facility
must remain disconnected until appropriate corrective measures have been
taken and the facility no longer has detrimental affects on the quality
of service provided to other District customers, If the customer does
not disconnect the facility when requested, the District may discontinue
normal service to the customer. This discontinuance of service may occur
at any time an unsafe condition or Interference with. the quality of ser-
vice to the District's other customers exists and will not constitute
breach of the interconnection agreement or the District's service regula-
tions or the District's termination policy.
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
The parallel operation of customer -owned small power producers and
cogeneration on the District's transmission and distribution system is a
relative new concept. Operating experience of this combination will
be gained over time. if this experience indicates factors previously
considered and /or factors not previously considered are having a de-
trimental affect on the cost and /or quality of electrical service to the
District's other customers, the customer will pay for the additional costs
and /or install any additional equipment required to eliminate the detri-
mental situation.
The District will continually monitor the interconnection and
parallel operation with cogenerators and small power producers in the
electric utility industry. The policy concerning their operation in the
District's service area will be modified in the future as operating ex-
perience warrants.

given year.
O'HANLON & NELSON, ATTORNEYS, '1569 WASHINGTON, BLAIR, NEBRASKA 68008 (402) 426 -9666
FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP (FIRM) - An official map of a community,
on which a Flood Insurance Study of the Natural Flood Insurance
Program has delineated the Flood Hazard Boundaries and the zones
establishing insurance rates applicable to the community.
FLOOD PLAIN STUDY - The official report containing flood profiles,
water surface elevations and delineation of the floodway (FW) and
floodway fringe (FF) areas of the 100 -year flood plain. This
study is provided by the Federal Insurance Administration, Flood
Insurance Study, and /or the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission,
Flood Plain Study.
FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT - The operation of an overall program of
corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage,
including but not limited to emergency preparedness plan, flood
control works and flood plain management regulations.
FLOOD PROTECTION SYSTEM - Those physical structural works constructed
specifically to modify flooding in order to reduce the extent of the
area within a community subject to a "special flood hazard". Such
a system typically includes levees or dikes. These specialized
modifying works are those constructed in conformance: with sound
federal and state engineering standards.
FLOOD PROOFING - Any combination of structural and non - structural
additions, changes or adjustments to structures, including utility
and sanitary facilities, which would preclude the entry of water.
Structural components shall have the capability of resisting hydro-
static and hydrodynamic loads and the effect of buoyancy.
FLOODWAY (FW) - The channel of a river or other watercourse and
the adjacent portion of the flood plain that must be reserved
in order to discharge the 100 -year flood without cumulatively
increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot at
any point assuming equal conveyance reduction outside the channel
from the two sides of the flood plain. Alse referred to as the
Selected Floodway.
FLOODWAY FRINGE (FF) - That area of the flood plain, outside of the
floodway, that on the average is likely to be flooded once every
100 years (i.e.: that has a one percent chance of flood occurence
in any one year). Also referred to as the Commission Floodway.
HABITABLE FLOOR - Any floor used for living, which includes
working, sleeping eating, cooking or recreation or combination
thereof. A floor used only for storage purposes is not a "Habitable
Floor ".
MOBILE HOME - A structure, transportable in one or more sections,
which is built on a permanent chasis and designed to be used
with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the
required utilities. It does not include recreational vehicles
or travel trailers.

new construction or substantial improvement of which is begun
after December 31, 1974, or the effective date of the official Flood
Plain Study, whichever is later.
OVERLAY DISTRICT - A district which acts in conjunction with the
underlying zoning district or districts.
O'HANLON & NELSON, ATTORNEYS, 1 569 WASHINGTON, GLAIR, NEBRASKA 68008 (402) 426 -9666
REGULATORY FLOOD ELEVATION - Elevation indicated in the official
flood plain study as the elevation of the 100 -year flood.,
REGULATORY FLOOD PROTECTION ELEVATION - An elevation one foot .
higher than the water surface elevation of the regulatory flood.
SELECTED FLOODWAY - See floodway definition.
STRUCTURE - A walled and roofed structure including a gas or liquid
storage tank, that is principally above the ground, including but
without limitation to buildings, factories, sheds,, cabins, mobile
homes, and other similar uses..
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT- "Substantial improvement" means any repair,
reconstruction, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equa:
or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure either,
(a) before the improvement is started,. or (b) if the structure has
been damaged and is being restored, before the damage occurred.
For the purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is
considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling,
floor, or other structural part of the building commences, whether
or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the
structure. The term does not, however, include any alteration
to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary, building,
or safety codes or regulations.
100 -YEAR FLOOD - The base flood having a one percent chance of
annual occurrence.
SECTION 2. FLOOD LOSSES RESULTING FROM PERIODIC
INUNDATION - The flood hazard areas of Blair, Washington County,
Nebraska, are subject to inundation which results in loss of
life and property, health, and safety hazards, disruption of
commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expen-
ditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the
tax base all of which adversely affect the public health, safety
and general welfare.
SECTION 2.1 GENERAL CAUSES OF THESE FLOOD LOSSES -
These flood losses are caused by (1) The cumulative effect of
obstruction in floodways.causing increases in flood heights and
velocities, (2) The occupancy of flood hazard areas by uses
vulnerable to floods or hazardous to others which are inadequately
elevated or otherwise protected from flood damages.
SECTION 2.2 METHODS USED TO ANALYZE FLOOD HAZARDS -
This ordinance uses a reasonable method of analyzing flood
hazards which consists of a series of interrelated steps.
(1) Selection of a regulatory flood which is based
upon engineering calculations which permit a consideration of
such flood factors as its expected frequency of occurence, the
area inundated, and the depth of inundations. The regulatory
O'HANLON & NELSON, ATTORNEYS, 1 569 WASHINGTON, BLAIR, NEBRASKA 68008 (402) 426 -9666
flood selected for this ordinance is representative of large
floods which are reasonably characteristic of what can be
expected to occur on the particular streams subject to this
ordinance'. It is in the general order of a flood which could
be expected to have a one percent (1%) chance of occurrence in
any one year, as delineated in the official flood plain study,
and illustrative materials dated January 16, 1981 as amended.
(2) Calculation of water surface profiles based upon
a hydraulic engineering analysis of the capacity of the stream
channel and overbank areas to convey the regulatory flood.
(3) Computation of the floodway required to convey
this flood without increasing flood heights more than one
foot at any point.
(4) Delineation of floodway encroachment lines within
which no obstruction is permitted which would cause any increase
in flood height.
(5) Delineation of floodway fringe, i.e., that area
outside the floodway encroachment lines but which still is
subject to inundation by the regulatory flood.
SECTION 3. 'STATEMENT OF PURPOSE - It is the purpose of
this ordinance to promote the public health, safety and general
welfare and to minimize those losses described in Section 2.1
by applying the provisions of this ordinance to:
(1) Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to
health, safety, or property in times of flooding or cause undue
increases in flood heights or velocities.
(2) Require ,that uses vulnerable to Floods, including
public facilities which serve such uses, be provided with flood
protection at the time of initial construction.
(3) Protect individuals from buying lands whieh are
unsuited for intended purposes because 'of flood hazard.
(4) Assure that eligibility is maintained for property
owners in the community to purchase flood insurance in the National
