Notes:

1.  The minimum pool requirements at Los Padres and San Clemente Reservoirs are 105 acre-feet at elevation 980 ft and 71 acre-feet at elevation 515 ft, respectively.

2.  Projected inflows for the May through September period follow the pattern for WY 2010, a similar  WY to 2011 to date, whereas the October through December 2011 period are based on the expectation that unimpaired flows at San Clemente Dam will  represent a "Normal" Water Year Type or 50% exceedance values for reconstructed unimpaired monthly historical flows (WY 1902-2009).

3.  Projected inflow to San Clemente Reservoir is distributed 80% above Los Padres Dam and 20% between Los Padres and San Clemente Dams.

4.  Estimated evaporation from LPR/SCR is based on average monthly reservoir surface area and gross monthly evaporation rates developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (1981).

5.  Releases and diversions are consistent with terms of the 2001 and 2006 Conservation Agreements between the NMFS and Cal-Am and with the conditions in SWRCB Order Nos. 95-10, 98-04, 2002-0002, and 2009-0060.

6.  Numbers in Bold type are final reported numbers, and those in Italics are future estimates.
