At the end of the five-year period, the reservoir ID,~.-4 elevation would be at 1083, which is the minimum power head (content of _af). While this elevation is greater than the protection level proposed for declaration of shortages, the Six States feel that surplus declarations must be terminated 5 years before the powrr production is impacted rather than 5 years before the SNW A water intake structure is impacted. In a normal year, California will be limited to 4.4 maf of consumptive use, and Nevada will be limited to 0.3 maf of consumptive use, unless unused apportionment is available from Arizona. 2. Partial M&I Surplus During the interim period, MWD and SNW A will be allowed to increase orders which would result in California's and Nevada's consumptive uses to exceed basic apportionment. Under the partial surplus tier, the surplus volume would not be large enough to keep the Colorado River Aqueduct full nor to meet all of the potential needs of the SNW A. The volume of surplus will be dependent on the water demands in the given year, reduced by the conservation opportunities the entities have to provide additional supplies in dry years. The dry year options are expected to include land fallowing 11 J /),1 / I'V Jo::/ / ~ ' ..' ". / /' /</ :--../ , b \./ (1 ,;) yJ v [,C; ,I 1.\ 'i' , {" o
