Water moved from a period of excess to a period of shortage should be counted towards the 20K. · Water moved from the winter to spring would count in delivery of the 20K on an average annual basis. · Water delivered in excess of the :Bow recommeodations would not count. (Does this mean that water delivered in excess of me 20K in an:)' year will not count? Or, that water delivered in excess of some specific :Bow recommendarions (e.g. water in excess of SOOOcfs during the first week of April would not count?) There obviously needs to be more discussion conceming this matter. but the above represents a start. 6. Flow Targets. The following is from the February 2 Maddm:: to Seaholm memo: · The Service's first priority for delivery of water would be to add to the spring peak during the same 10-da)' period that the coordiDated reservoirs operations program is trying to add to the peak. (Ibis )ields support to the need for a daJ1y time step model during the Spring peak nmoffperiod.) Ifall of the 20K could be provided during the peak. it would not be necessary , to provide any water during other periods. · The Service's second priority is to provide the water in May-June. · Third priority is to deliver water between July 15 and August 31 when deliveries from other sources are less certain. · Founh priority is in September and October. t' Flexibility of Meeting Flow Targets. The following is an interpretation of the Service's February ~ to Randy's questions concerning allowable flexibility in meeting the flow targets: . Adaptive management should be employed "",'hereby the flow target and the flexibility in m~ 1his 13Iget would be identified and implemented on a year to year basis depending on the hydrologic conditions in a specific )"ear. Actual deliveries would be made in a specific year based on established guidelines and general criteria for making water available. These guidelines and criteria would be established as part of the Water Availability Stud).. Ranges of pennissible water deliveries and timing of defu:eries would be set through agreements and contracts. The ranges and timing of pennissible water deliveries would be established in the Water AvailabiIity Study and larer incorporated in contracts and agreements. .
