Best Efforts - Best Efforts means a reasonable, good faith effort, taking into account <br />other legal and contractual obligations and duties. <br /> <br />2.B. Donated Water -Donated Water includes both Storage Water and certain Vallecito <br />Deliveries up to the levels defined herein which is to be provided to CWCB by PRID and/or <br />the TRIBE for ISF use to preserve or improve the natural environment in the ISF Reach. <br />PRID and the TRIBE must provide Donated Water only when Senior Water and Vallecito <br />Deliveries: (a) for the Summer Months, do not maintain the Summer Months' target flows <br />hereunder through the ISF Reach; (b) In contrast, for the Winter Months, do not maintain the <br />target flows hereunder at the Measuring Point provided, however, PRID and the Tribe will <br />provide 5.0 cfs at the Measuring Point unless otherwise not required herein. The CWCB, <br />however, will protect the Donated Water in the Winter Months through the ISF Reach defined <br />for the Winter Months. <br /> <br />2.C. Highest Allowed Physical Winter Water level - The maximum winter storage level <br />for Vallecito Reservoir based on physical conditions, including icing limitations. For the <br />purposes of this agreement, the Highest Allowed Physical Winter Water Level is <br />approximately 77,000 AF unless modified pursuant to Paragraph 3.A.5. of this agreement. <br /> <br />2.0. ISF means Instream Flow. <br /> <br />2.E. ISF Amount- <br /> <br />a. that amount of water the CWCB determines is appropriate for stream flows in the <br />ISF Reach to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree, as set forth in <br />paragraph 1.R. <br />b. that amount of water the CWCB determines is appropriate for stream flows in the <br />ISF Reach to improve the natural environment to a reasonable degree, as set forth in <br />paragraph 1.T. <br /> <br />2.F.

Project or Pine River Project -- The Project includes Vallecito and deliveries of water <br />from Vallecito under PRIIP and by PRID. <br /> <br />2.1. Projections mean the determinations by the District and the TRIBE of the maximum <br />estimated Vallecito physical fill for a particular water year. Projections will be based on <br />Vallecito content and actual inflow; estimated inflows based on snowpack; irrigation <br /> <br />4 <br />
