I. WMP submission and review process and timeline The California Public Utilities Commission (henceforth the CPUC or the Commission) Guidance Decision (D.19-05-036) included substantive and procedural requirements for future plans based on lessons learned during the first WMP proceeding and established an expectation for improvement in the WMPs each year. The experience of the 2019 WMP submission and review process points towards the benefit of greater structure and consistency in data, receiving supporting data earlier in the WMP process, and utilizing a structured and consistent approach to evaluate utility wildfire mitigation. Several guiding principles based on lessons learned inform the WMP Guidelines for 2020: frontloading the WMP review cycle where possible, standardizing information collection, and establishing a baseline of risk exposure and maturity for each utility. Accordingly, the WSD will adopt four key elements of the 2020 WMP submission and review process:

1. Frontload data collection. This will extend the timeframe for WSD and party review of relevant utility data in advance of the WMP submission and review period, in addition to reducing the need for follow-up data requests.

2. Standardize templates for utility WMP submission. Templates help WSD staff more easily uncover relevant supporting information and facilitate comparison across utilities.

3. Systematize qualitative evaluation using the utility wildfire mitigation maturity assessment. An assessment framework increases the objectivity of review and allows WSD staff to more efficiently conduct a thorough review.

4. Use audit to validate wildfire mitigation maturity model assessment. Audits can help the WSD ensure accuracy and consistency of the utility wildfire mitigation maturity assessments.

II. Wildfire Mitigation Plan Guidelines

Structure

The WMP itself is composed of five sections and their corresponding templates: 1. Persons responsible for executing the plan, 2. Metrics and underlying data, 3. Baseline ignition probability and wildfire risk exposure, 4. Inputs to the plan, including current and directional vision for wildfire risk exposure, 5. Wildfire mitigation activity for each year of the 3-year WMP term, including expected outcomes

of the 3-year plan.

An additional section 6 in the document provides a location for utilities to attach the GIS files required to support the information reported.

Instructions for filling out the WMP are given with each section of the WMP. Sections of this document contain a portion for the utility to provide a narrative response. This narrative response may include quantitative and qualitative explanations, as well as supporting documentation including relevant maps, spreadsheets, photographs, and other relevant information. Many sections also instruct the utility to provide a separate quantitative-focused response in the tables, where cells must be filled out by utilities according to the instructions provided in each section. Some tables include comment boxes. Utilities may extend the size of comment boxes as needed to provide an adequate description for each aspect of the WMP.

Should any portion of the WMP require information that the utility has not collected itself nor could ascertain based on information that the utility does collect, the utility shall work with federal, state, and local agencies, stakeholders, and partners to collect or compile the information. Where the information in question is not collected by any stakeholder and cannot be collected by the utility, the utility shall indicate this in the comments and include a description of the most similar data point(s) that the utility and/or other stakeholders do track that most closely fits the requirement. For example, by the WMP deadline, the utility may not have a full accounting of the value of property destroyed by utility-ignited wildfire in a given year due to ongoing investigation into the cause of one or more wildfires within its service territory. In this example, the utility shall indicate 1) the known sum of the value of property determined by fire AHJs to have been destroyed by utility-ignited wildfire in that year, albeit incomplete, and 2) a list of the wildfires in that year for which utility facilities are being investigated as a potential source of ignition but for which the cause is still undetermined and an estimation of value of property destroyed by each. Finally, the utility shall describe its plan to improve its data collection and/or cooperation with partners with the goal of collecting the required information, including the timeline to implementation. In the event that any of the requested information is confidential, the utility shall provide 2 versions, 1 which includes all of the information and a second that does not include the confidential information. Clarification of normalization calculation: For those metrics and other figures that are likely to vary year-to-year based on the prevalence of fire-weather conditions, instructions are included to report said metric or figure both 1) as a total for the year and 2) normalized by Red Flag Warning (RFW) circuit mile


5 / 90

5

days. The denominator “RFW circuit mile days” is intended to capture the duration and scope of the fire weather that year and is calculated as the number of circuit miles that were under a RFW multiplied by the number of days those miles were under said RFW. For example, if 100 circuit miles were under a RFW for 1 day, and 10 of those miles were under RFW for an additional day, then the total RFW circuit mile days would be 110.

Highly rural region In accordance with 38 CFR 17.701, “highly rural” shall be defined as those areas with a population of less than 7 persons per square mile.

Ignition probability The relative possibility that an ignition will occur, probability is quantified as a number between 0% and 100% (where 0% indicates impossibility and 100% indicates certainty). The higher the probability of an event, the more certainty there is that the event will occur. (Often informally referred to as likelihood or chance).
