During a shortage condition, such over use is to be paid <br />back in the year the shortage is declared. California agencies are to pay back 2001 <br />and 2002 overruns of over 300,000 acre-feet within an eight-year period. <br />Accelerated paybacks in either case would assist in maintaining a higher level of <br />reservoir storage. <br /> <br />AUTHORITY: (identify existing or new) <br />COST: <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: (categorical exclusionlElS/other) <br />ENVIRONMENTAL OR ESA ISSUES: <br />NEED FOR RULES AND REGULATIONS: <br /> <br />· Request voluntary limitation on the use of Colorado River water solely for <br />off stream act:umulation of storage temporarily. This is to help preserve on- <br />river Colorado River storage. Colorado River water recharge used in conjunctive <br />or coordinated use programs, as part of required water supply operations to meet <br />annual water needs is not storage accumulation, and would not be subject to this <br />limitation. <br /> <br />-6- <br />
