Table 1. Release Guidelines for the Environmental Account for the Water Year 2001 (7'he two ulsenow eriods are shaded) <br />Carry-Over N/A Use of EA water for beneficial purposes as Medium Considering current dry conditions, a medium <br /> described for other time periods. priority is given to reserving water for carry- <br /> over into the 2002 water yeaz. Carry-over <br /> water will allow for use of the EA during the <br /> early months of the non-irrigarion season <br /> before addirional water is accumulated or to <br /> insure adequate volume is available for other <br /> purposes if EA contributions are at a minimum <br /> durin the non-irri ation season. <br />* During May 1- June 30, high priority pulse flow requirements overlie the flows for species-specific physical aquatic habitat. May and June recovery flow <br />targets are designed to capture natural variability: a 10-year n,nning average with a 30-consecurive-day exceedance of 3,400 cfs, and a 5-consecurive-day peak <br />flow exceedance of 8,300-10,500 cfs (see **) (Within this broad goal there are further recommendations that certain flow levels be achieved with specific <br />frequencies (see Bowman and Carlson et al. 1994) ). <br />** The 5-day peak flow with ramped rate of rise and decline may occur in either February-March or May-June. <br />Water Year 2001 EA AOP 14 January 3, 2001
