01. Please supply any comments on the draft Task Force Schedule found in Figure 3
Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) appreciates the clarity and structure of the Task Force schedule and the opportunity it provides to make meaningful progress on the identified concepts. SRP supports the flexibility built into the schedule and encourages the WPP to continue to monitor whether the pace of work aligns with the needs of WRAP participants as they prepare for binding participation. SRP also encourages early confirmation of Task Force participants to promote engagement and help participants plan accordingly.
02. Please supply any comments on Concepts that could impact a commitment to go Binding or remaining in the WRAP
SRP encourages the WPP to continue evaluating whether any concepts could affect participants ability or confidence to commit to binding participation. SRP appreciates the WPP’s willingness to remain open to accelerated or modified scheduling if needed to address unforeseen items that may require resolution(s).
SRP recognizes comments from others that request prioritization of Concept 02. We believe that the PRC should strongly consider these requests and demonstrate flexibility and responsiveness to concerns as they emerge and become more urgent. SRP understands that some stakeholder comments request that this proposal be prioritized above Concept 05 (an item built from SRP request). SRP does not object to the PRC adjusting the prioritization in a way that resolves other concerns prior to Concept 05. In harmony with the results of the prioritization exercise in January, SRP advocates for Concept 05 to be included in this Workplan, as SRP believes that the consideration of this concept will be highly valuable in preserving WRAP integrity.
SRP also recognizes comments discussing the prioritization of Concept 01, and SRP also sees value in maintaining this item as a priority, as resolution of several concerns may influence Participant comfort with Binding operations.
While SRP has submitted Concepts that are included in the Workplan, SRP’s commitment to go Binding and continued participation in WRAP are not contingent on implementation of proposed changes.

This may help the WPP and Program Review Committee maintain visibility of task force efforts.

General Comment
SRP appreciates the WPP’s ongoing efforts to develop the WRAP through a structured and collaborative process. SRP supports the current prioritization of the concepts and values the transparency and flexibility built into the 2025 Workplan, but SRP would also support reprioritization to incorporate the collective interests of WRAP participants. SRP looks forward to actively participating in the upcoming task forces and contributing to the continued development of the WRAP.
