Notes:
1. The budget reflects "near
normal" inflow conditions and assumes that the monthly inflows at the
San Clemente Dam site during the April-June 2004 period will equal the 78% of the median inflow, based on the
1902-1996 simulated period of record.
2. The annual budget period
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 Cal-Am producing a maximum of 15,285 acre-feet (AF) from its
sources in the Carmel Valley and Seaside areas. Specifically, this maximum includes no more than 11,285 AF
from the Carmel River Basin and no more than 4,000 AF from the coastal
subareas of the Seaside Ground Water Basin. Monthly production estimates were calculated by multiplying
the maximum annual production by the average percentage of annual
production that is expected to occur each month, based on monthly
production data from Water Years 1988-1997.
4. Anticipated production for "Seaside Injection"
is based on an average diversion rate of approximately 1,000 gallons per
minute (gpm) or 4.4 AF per day from Cal-Am's sources in the Carmel River
Basin. "Total" monthly Cal-Am includes water for customer needs
and water for injection into the Seaside Ground Water Basin.
5. No surface water diversions
from San Clemente Reservoir are assumed for this period based on concerns
regarding water quality (elevated turbidity) and water levels in the reservoir
due to the San Clemente Reservoir Drawdown Project.
6. In May 2004, anticipated
production from Seaside Basin includes 19 days of pumping from wells in the
Paso Robles formation and 12 days of pumping from wells in the Paso Robles
and Santa Margarita formations.
