For those years <br />when the flow is between 12,900 and 26,600 cfs, an average of20,000 acre-feet will be <br />provided, and in some years less." <br /> <br />Please correct all the other references to the provision of 20,000 acre feet to be consistent <br />with this objective statement. Noted - correction will be made. <br /> <br />Ref. pg. 23 para 1, and Section 20307 #2, and para 4 the portrayal of the objective ofCFOPS to <br />deliver "average annual 20,000 acre-feet" is incorrect. The statement in paragraph 4: <br />"Throughout this report, the term "average annual 20,000 acre-feet" will be used to indicate the <br />target for this program." is incorrect. The remainder of the paragraph provides a correct <br />characterization ofthe objective of CFOPS. Please correct all occurrences.
