APPLICATION FOR INTERVENOR FUNDING OF
THE IDAHO IRRIGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION. INC.
COMES NOW the Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association, Inc. (Irrigators"), by and
through counsel of record, Eric L. Olsen, and hereby respectfully makes application to the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") for intervenor funding, pursuant to Idaho Code 5
6l-617A and IDAPA 55 31.01.01.161 through .165, in this consolidated case, as follows:
(A) A summary of the expenses that the Irrigators request to recover broken down
into legal fees, consultant fees and other costs and expenses is set forth in Exhibit "A" attached
APPLICATION FOR INTERVENOR FUNDING OF THE
IDAHO IRRIGATION PUMBERS ASSOCIATION,INC. - I
hereto and incorporated by reference. Itemized statements are also included as Attachments 1
and 2 to Exhibit "A" in support of said summary and are incorporated by reference
(B) The Irrigators' Legal Counsel, Eric L. Olsen, and its consultant, Anthony J.
Yankel, P.E., fully participated in these proceedings. Procedurally, this case was completed on
an accelerated basis, with direct and rebuttal testimony being filed and all parties preparing for
and attending the technical hearings held on June 29 through June 30, 2015.
Irrigators' Consultant, Anthony J. Yankel testified in support of Idaho Power Company's
("IPC") Petition. Mr. Yankel's testimony showed how the current assumptions built into IPC's
avoided cost methodology are inconsistent with the manner in which IPC's supply side resources
are actually utilized, while at the same time IPC is making sales-for-resale at substantially lower
prices than the avoided cost rates. Mr. Yankel further recommended that the Commission open
up a new docket to refine the avoided cost methodology that takes in the account IPC's actual
operating conditions.
The Irrigators' Legal Counsel, Eric L. Olsen, also participated in the technical hearings
and cross examined Staff and Intervenor witnesses.
(C) The expenses and costs incurred by the Irrigators set forth in Exhibit A and
accompanying attachments are reasonable in amount and were necessarily incurred. The
expenses and costs were incurred in reviewing the Irrigators' data requests and responses,
drafting and filing direct testimony, preparing cross examination questions for various witnesses,
and participating in technical hearings held by the Commission. Without incurring these
expenses and costs, the Irrigators would not have been able to fully participate in this matter.
(D) The costs described in Paragraph (A) above constitute a financial hardship for the
Irrigators. The Irrigators are an Idaho nonprofit corporation qualified under I.R.C. 5 501(c)(5)
APPLICATION FOR INTERVENOR FLINDING OF THE
IDAHO IRzuGATION PUMBERS ASSOCIATION, INC. - 2
representing farm interests in electric utility rate matters affecting farmers in southern and central
Idaho. The Irrigators rely solely upon dues and contributions voluntarily paid by members,
together with intervenor funding, to support activities. Each year mailings are sent to
approximately 7000 Idaho Irrigators (approximately two-thirds in the Idaho Power Company
service area and on-third in the RMP service area), soliciting annual dues. The Irrigators
recommend members make voluntary contributions based on acres inigated or horsepower per
pump. Member contributions have been falling which is believed to be attributable to the effects
of the great recession and increased operating costs and threats, particularly those relating to
water right protection issues.
From member contributions the Irrigators must pay all expenses, which generally
included mailing expenses, meeting expenses and shared office space in Boise, Idaho, in addition
to the expenses relating to participation in matters before the Commission. The Executive
Director, Lynn Tominaga, is the only part-time paid contractor, receiving a retainer plus
expenses for office space, office equipment, and secretarial services. Officers and directors are
elected annually and serve without compensation.
It has been and continues to be a financial hardship for the Irrigators to fully participate in
important cases such as this one due to the time and expense that has to be incurred to fully
participate in such a case. As a result of the Irrigators' financial constraints, participation in this
case, and filing of testimony and cross-examination of witnesses has been selective.
(E) The Irrigators' positions urged to be adopted by the Commission materially
differed from those addressed by the Commission Staff and other parties. The Irrigators showed
that the way in which IPC was operating its system was not consistent with the assumptions
contained in the avoided cost model. This testimony supports the Commission shortening the
APPLICATION FOR INTERVENOR FUNDING OF THE
IDAHO IRRIGATION PUMBERS ASSOCIATION, INC. - 3
contract term as urged by IPC and Commission staff and supports the Irigators' proposal to
firther refine the avoided cost methodology.
(F) The Irigators' participation addressed issues of concem to the general body of
users or consumers on IPC's system and Rocky Mountain Powers' ("RMP") system. If IPC or
RMP have to purchase power that is not needed, all customerso rates will go up and such rates
arguably would not be just and reasonable.
(G) The Irrigators represent the irrigation class of customers under Schedule 24 on
IPC's system and Schedule 10 on RMP's system. \
Based on the foregoing, it is respectfully submitted that the Irrigators are a qualifting
intervenor and should be entitled to an award of costs of intervention in the maximum amount
allowable pursuant to Idaho Code 5 6l-6l7[and IDAPA SS 31.01.01.161 through.165.
