<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />December 17,1997 <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />above the agricultural entities "basic' entitlements, which would reflect a <br /> <br />corresponding reduction in the net diversion of water available out of the 3.85 MAF <br /> <br />limit by the amount of firm transfers. <br /> <br />Level 3 Surplus Release - A level 3 release would be based upon a specific set <br /> <br />of criteria which would reflect that reservoir levels have been drawn down further <br /> <br />than expected, but not to the extent of justifying a normal or shortage condition. A <br /> <br />level 3 release would be associated with the quantity of water needed to keep the <br /> <br />Colorado River Aqueduct full. No level 3 water would be made available for off- <br /> <br />stream storage or agricultural uses that are above the agricultural entities' "basic" <br /> <br />entitlements, which would reflect a corresponding reduction in the net diversion of <br /> <br />water available out of the 3.85 MAF limit by the amount of firm and non-firm <br />transfers. Stored water from enhanced water supply programs could be used <br /> <br />during level 3 releases. <br /> <br />The above proposed reservoir operating criteria for surplus releases would be <br /> <br />applicable during Phase I of California's 4.4 Plan. <br /> <br />C:\dfocelwpwinlwpdocslagn_I11gD\w10ldg.wpd <br /> <br />24 <br />
