<br />000251 <br /> <br />Six State Proposal <br />Straw Man Draft <br />Includes Fassett and Mutz comments <br />11/4/98 <br /> <br />conservation measures are being implemented within California. Level 3 is similar to Level 2, <br /> <br />except that the sU1plus supplies are more limited, and California is required to use additional <br /> <br />alternate supplies including dry year land fallowing and groundwater basin pumping options if it <br /> <br />wishes to keep the Aqueduct full. b . ~~ \'~J- _ *~ ~ ~ <br />..l~~ ~h~ CV) ~VJ\.~~reD~ <br />\}J SVt~ , I <br />Q.b f\-v-S~Vl- , , <br />The Six State pro sal envisions a set of interim criteria for reservoir operation in which <br /> <br />the various leve~s distin . It envisions a more continuous set of guidclinesinterim criteria <br /> <br />depending upon reservoir conditions, inflow into the reservoir system, and the need for water <br /> <br /> <br />within the Lower BasinDivision states and Mexico. The Six State proposal seeks to achieve a <br /> <br />balance between the need to release water to build storage space to avoid future floods and the <br /> <br />need to carry over as much water in storage as possible to sustain future water deliveries through <br /> <br />droughts. Similar to the California proposal, the Six States are willing to provide California with <br /> <br />additional water for a specified period of time while conservation measures are being <br /> <br />implemented. The States believe that when California is successful in implementing its <br /> <br />conservation programs it will be able to meet its future needs within its basic 4.4 million acre foot <br /> <br />annual entitlement and, therefore, there will be no need to continue wrth-the proposed form of <br /> <br />interim reservoir operating criteria in the future. <br /> <br />Underlying all levels of the smph18interim criteria is the commitment to attempt to meet <br /> <br />the needs of southern California municipal and industrial water users which causes the state to use <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />\\). <br />~ <br />]~t <br /> <br />f =r:.I <br />J~ <br />31J <br />4~ <br />:J ~ , <br />~31 <br />'~{~ <br />~\..(J <br />'~~ a <br /> <br />
