Introduction <br /> <br />The December 17,1997, Draft of the California 4.4 Plan outlined a proposal for Lake <br /> <br />Mead reservoir operations. The Six States agree with many of the concepts set forth in that <br /> <br />proposal. However, there are several areas in which those concepts deviate from the principles <br /> <br />discussed above and thus are in need of further definition, discussion and clarification. This <br /> <br />section briefly identifies those areas and proposed additional concepts. <br /> <br />The California 4.4 Plan describes three levels of surplus criteria. Levell is a spill <br /> <br />avoidance strategy based on anticipated runoff. Level 2 is a strategy that attempts to keep the <br /> <br />Colorado River Aqueduct full during the transition period agIicnlturc)during which agricultural <br /> <br />8 L~ \ 5 ~ CL\JC)\,dewl-ClL <br />::n: "Fv..9J? 0 q uQ.olu.d <br /> <br />1Jt LLV.,,~\e~ Su~~ <br />
