	Notes:
	1.  The Budget reflects near normal inflow conditions at the San Clemente Dam site.
	2.  The period for reporting corresponds to the Water Year, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30
	of the following year.
	3.  Anticipated annual production is based on annual maximum Cal-Am production of 15,285 acre-feet from the
	Cal-Am system, including no more than 4,000 AF from the Seaside Basin, and no more than 11,285 AF
	from the Carmel River Basin.  Monthly production was calculated by multiplying total annual production times
	the average fraction of annual production for each month (based on production data from 1988 to 1997).
