Deviations or changes to this SOP(Standard Operating Procedure) shall be approved by the Gas Measurement Manager. Material changes require concurrence with the governing commission. Non- material changes shall be submitted to the commissions in conjunction with annual meter performance statistics. GENERAL COMPLIANCE It is the intent that this PMC Program is in accordance with the following rules,regulations, and stipulations. Idaho: Avista ID Gas Tariff Rule No. 27, Section 25,effective November 1,2018,has been approved and prescribes the minimum inspection and testing requirements. Oregon: Gas meter testing requirements for Avista are promulgated by Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 860,Division 023 "Service Standards", Section 0015 (Testing Gas and Electric Meters). Avista Gas Tariff Rule No. 18, Section 20,has been approved and is in compliance with the requirements of the applicable OAR and prescribes the minimum inspection and testing requirements.Additionally,the second Settlement Stipulation agreed to in Docket No.UG 461, Order No. 23-384 is accounted for with respect to the Oregon meter plan. Washington: Gas meter testing requirements for Avista are promulgated by Washington Administrative Code, Chapter 480-90"Gas companies -operations", Section 333 (Initial accuracy of meters), Section 338 (Metering tolerance), Section 343 (Statement of meter test procedures), and Section 348 (Frequency of periodic meter tests. Avista Gas Tariff Rule No. 170, Section 20, effective November 30, 2011,has been approved and is in compliance with the requirements of WAC 480-90 and prescribes the minimum inspection and testing requirements. HISTORY Avista's current random meter measurement performance program is in accordance with ANSI Z1.9 (Inspection by Variables). Random sampling and testing is completed for all meters 1000 cubic feet per hour(cfh) and smaller. The program was revised and upgraded in 2009. The prior program was in accordance with inspection standard ANSI Z 1.4 (Inspection by Attributes). The change in inspection standard and programmatic changes were completed to enhance the quality and accuracy of the measurement performance program. 2011: Meter Testing Program Enhancements GAS METER SHOP—STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Title: Gas Meter Measurement Performance Program Date: 1-3-2025 Jurisdiction: Idaho, Oregon, Washington Manager: Jeff Webb Page: 3 of 13 In 2011 the gas meter testing program was enhanced as follows: • Random sampling program-Redefined a meter population. Previously a meter population was defined as meters of the same model,installed in the same State jurisdiction, and purchased in the same year. The revised definition for a meter population now includes meters of the same model, size, and manufactured in the same year. The new definition removes the criteria to test meters by state.A statistical analysis of meter testing results for all three(3)states revealed that the mean accuracy and standard deviation of accuracy about the mean are similar for all three states and that any difference is not statistically significant, indicating that state test results can be combined. Random sampling gas meter testing requirements for 2012 were developed using the revised meter population definition. • Installed turbine Meters: Changes were made to expand turbine testing requirements to include both single rotor and dual rotor auto adjust meters. • Installed rotary meters: Changes were made to provide clarification regarding necessary test requirements for rotary meters. 2019: Implementation of the Installation Constant Adjustment In 2019 a new subpart titled"Meter Data Management Calibration"was added to section VI Installed Meter Testing Program,part c. This subpart defines an alternative means to address meter families that are experiencing a consistent deviation in mean accuracy identified by the sample meter testing program. If a statistical analysis shows that a meter family is experiencing a consistent deviation in mean accuracy, the meter readings of that family may be corrected by adjusting the entire family's Installation Constant value in the Meter Data Management system rather than replacing the meter. Avista determines a meter family's eligibility for the use of an Installation Constant adjustment by following ANSI-ZI.9. This standard defines the acceptable standard deviation for a population of given size and inspection status.For example, given a population size of 3,201-10,000,a tightened inspection status calls for a sample size of at least 100 and prescribes an acceptable standard deviation of 1.26 for the lot. Avista then compares the calculated standard deviation of the actual test results to the 1.26 recommended by the ANSI standard. If the calculated standard deviation is less than 1.26,the family is determined to have consistent enough results to be considered for the Installation Constant adjustment. If the calculated standard deviation is more than the acceptable value,that means the test data is more random(not consistent); it would not fit into an acceptable bell curve, and therefore is not eligible for the Installation Constant Adjustment. All meters that are in the meter family will have the Installation Constant correction applied. Meter families whose Installation Constant has been adjusted are not considered a failed family meter because they will remain in service and will continue to be randomly pulled and tested under tightened inspection as part of the installed meter testing program. Their Installation Constant value will be reevaluated and adjusted every year. 2023: Oregon Tariff No. 5,Rule 18 Update In 2023 the Oregon Gas Tariff No. 5,Rule No. 18 was updated to reflect the terms of the settlement stipulation—docket number UG 461, Order No. 23-384. The major changes to the tariff are as follows: GAS METER SHOP—STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Title: Gas Meter Measurement Performance Program Date: 1-3-2025 Jurisdiction: Idaho, Oregon, Washington Manager: Jeff Webb Page: 4 of 13 • The installation constant adjustment solution described above is not approved for Oregon meters. Meters that utilize the installation constant adjustment must be replaced no later than December, 2028. • Meter families will begin the random testing program at 5 years of age. • Meter families will fail after one year of non-conformance(remove the tightened sampling rule). This SOP was updated to reflect the changes above. 2025: Addition of ultrasonic meters(USM) As an alternative meter type,Avista plans to introduce a metering technology(subject to Commission approval/tariff incorporation)that is new to us but not new to the industry. Ultrasonic Meters (USMs) have no moving parts. They contain electronic components that measure pressure,temperature, and the speed of the gas to determine the flowrate. For small capacity(<5001 cfh),Avista is involved with an effort led by the American Gas Association to create meter proving standards for residential/commercial sized USMs. We plan to use the results of that effort to drive the meter testing protocol that we adopt. For large capacity(>5000 cfh),Avista has decided to rely on annual diagnostic tests performed by the meter itself to ensure accurate measurements. Also,these meters perform diagnostic tests at regular intervals and will send an alarm signal if the test does not pass. If this happens, an Avista technician will be dispatched to the site to troubleshoot the issue. This protocol is based on the manufacturer's recommendations and our review of how peer utilities test this type of meter.Additionally, like turbine meters,these meters will be tested with a transfer prover or at an approved offsite facility at a maximum interval of every ten(10)years.

GAS METER SHOP-STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Title: Gas Meter Measurement Performance Program Date: 1-3-2025 Jurisdiction: Idaho, Oregon, Washington Manager: Jeff Webb Page: 10 of 13 5. Failure of meter population. A meter population shall be declared defective(failed)when: a. For Washington and Idaho meters: Three (3)consecutive yearly inspections for a population under tightened inspection are not accepted based on AQL of 10.0 for overall performance (double specification limit)AND/OR b. For Washington and Idaho meters: Two(2)consecutive yearly inspections for a population under tightened inspection are not accepted based on AQL of 10.0 for overall performance (single specification limit)which measures meters running fast, also referred to as Failed Fast. c. For Oregon meters: One(1) annual inspection for a population under normal or reduced inspection is not accepted based on AQL of 10.0 for overall performance. These failed meter families shall be removed from service as described by subpart 6 below.Alternatively, in Washington and Idaho only, qualifying meters may have their Installation Constant updated in the Meter Data Management system as described in subpart 7 below. 6. Removal of failed meter population: Removal of a meter population of less than 2500 units may take place within one(1)year. Removal of meter population of more than 2500 units may take place over two(2) years. Removal of meter population of more than 5000 units may take place over three(3)years. Removal of meter population of more than 7500 units may take place over four(4)years. 7. Meter Data Management calibration(a0licable to Washington and Idaho meters only): If a statistical analysis shows that a meter family is experiencing a consistent deviation in mean accuracy,the meter reading may be corrected by adjusting the entire family's Installation Constant value in the Meter Data Management system rather than replacing the meter. For a meter family to qualify for the Installation Constant adjustment,the actual standard deviation of the meters pulled and tested must be less than the acceptable standard deviation determined by ANSI Z1.9. Meter families whose Installation Constant has been adjusted are not considered a failed family meter because they will remain in service and will continue to be randomly pulled and tested under tightened inspection as part of the installed meter testing program. Their Installation Constant value will be reevaluated every year. Meters in Oregon are not authorized for this method of adjustment. d. Installed diaphragm meters, greater than 1000 cfh,periodic test. i. 1001 cfh through 3000 cfh: Inspected and proved every: 1. ten(10)years or sooner for Washington and Idaho,and 2. five(5)years or sooner for Oregon. ii.
