Text Box: Notes: 1. The budget reflects "above normal" inflow conditions and assumes that the monthly inflows at the San Clemente Dam site during the April-June 2005 period will equal the average of 37.5 % and 50% exceedence frequency flows, based on the 1902-2003 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 Groundwater 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. Based on the year-to-date quantity of water injected into the Seaside Groundwater Basin, the production for "Seaside Injection" is expected to end by March 31, 2005. "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 the physical in ability to withdraw water from the reservoir due to sedimentation and implementation of the 2005 Interim Drawdown Project at San Clemente Dam. 6. Anticipated monthly production from the Upper Carmel Valley Aquifer is based on continuous pumping rate of 0.93 cfs from combined capacity of Russell Wells Nos. 2 and 4 until mid-June, when the "low-flow" period is expected to begin.
