2.1.2 Scenario A (without Bookover) criteria and Assumptions

1. The objective of the operating plan is to maintain the

reservoir contents between 1569 acre-feet (Elevation 5554)

and 1974 acre-feet (Elevation 5558) while allowing each

entity to fully utilize its storage allocation.

2. The permanent pool (1974 acre-feet) and individual accounts

are full at the beginning of the first year on January 1.

3. Although the state does not have an account in the perma-

nent pool, it will be allowed to store water up to the

maximum of 405 acre-feet, but only if unoccupied space is

available. The state's water will be spilled anytime the

space is needed by the assigned entity.

4. Storable inflows in excess of release requirements and

2.1.3 Scenario A (Without Bookover) Results

Scenario A involves the least amount of storage capacity of

all scenarios.

In the modeled years, the level was at its maxi-

mum of Elevation 5558 during three of the nine years (1949, 1952,

1957) and was within one foot of the minimum Elevation 5554 two
