Amendatory Agreement No. 15 to

Dear Mr. Almquist:
As you know, City of Ashland (Contractor), and Bonneville Power Administration
(Bonneville) are current partners in a Residential Weatherization Program
Conservation Agreement, Contract No. DE-MS79-83BP91413 which as amended is
referred to as the "Primary Agreement".
• The Primary Agreement provides for the installation of air-to-air heat
exchangers in homes which exceed the radon level of 5 picoCuries/liter
(pCi/1). However, Bonneville has subsequently determined through research
conducted by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories and others that more effective,
less costly, and more reliable measures are available for reducing radon in
homes than the currently available air-to-air heat exchangers. By allowing
new and more effective radon reduction measures, homeowners and/or consumers
will have an opportunity to lower their indoor radon levels even more than is
currently possible with air-to-air heat exchangers. For the latter reason,
Bonneville, in accordance with section 4(c) of Exhibit A to the Primary
Agreement, is unilaterally amending Exhibit B of the Primary Agreement to
allow for alternative radon mitigation measures such as basement
pressurization, sub-slab pressurization or depressurization, or mechanical
crawlspace ventilation, in addition to the currently available air-to-air heat
exchangers. Once this Amendatory Agreement is in effect, the Contractor can
provide these or other radon mitigation measures by requesting and getting
Bonneville's approval of a modification of the Weatherization Specifications
(Item 1 of Exhibit F) to include specifications for the radon mitigation
measure it wishes to employ.

1. Effective Date of Amendatory Agreement. Unless otherwise selected by
the Contractor in accordance with Amendatory Agreement No. 4 to the
Primary Agreement, this amendatory agreement shall be effective at
2400 hours on May 1, 1987.
2. Amendment of Primary Agreement_. The Primary Agreement is hereby
amended as follows:
(a) Section 2 of Exhibit B is hereby deleted and replaced with a new
section 2 as follows:
"2. Mitigation Measure(s)
"If necessary for the mitigation of possible indoor air
quality effects pursuant to the procedures contained in
Item 12 of Exhibit F, mitigation Measures such as the
following are eligible for the Consumer Incentive. If no
specification is provided in Item 1 of Exhibit F for the
selected Measure, such Measure shall be eligible only after
the Contractor receives Bonneville's approval of a
specification prepared and submitted by the Contractor.
(1) "air-to-air heat exchangers;
(2) "basement pressurization;
(3) "sub-slab pressurization or depressurization; or
(4) "mechanical crawlspace ventilation"
