Exhibit 20-A shows the
water supply status for the Monterey Peninsula Water Resources System (MPWRS)
as of January 1, 2012. This system includes the surface water
resources in the
Water Supply Status: As
shown, rainfall during December 2011
totaled 0.10 inches and brings
the cumulative rainfall total for WY 2012 to 3.40 inches, which is 50%
of the long-term average through December
of 6.81 inches. Estimated unimpaired runoff during December 2011 totaled 1,022 acre-feet
(AF) and brings the cumulative runoff total for WY 2012 to 3,103 AF, which is 44% of
the long-term average through December
of 7,019 AF. Usable storage, which includes surface and
groundwater, was 29,640 AF,
or 103% of the long-term average through
December of 28,710 AF. This storage
equates to 79% of system
capacity. In addition, 0 adult steelhead were counted in the fish
ladder at San Clemente Dam for WY 2012 through December.
Production Compliance: Under State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Cease and Desist Order No. 2009-0060, California American Water (Cal-Am) is allowed to produce no more than 10,308 AF of water from the Carmel River in WY 2012. In addition, under the Seaside Basin Decision, Cal-Am is allowed to produce 2,669 AF of water from the Coastal Subareas and 147 AF from the Laguna Seca Subarea of the Seaside Basin in WY 2012. In December 2011, the Seaside Watermaster determined that 32 AF of native groundwater was not produced by Cal-Am in WY 2011. This amount was added to Cal-Am’s WY 2012 allotment (2,669 AF + 32 AF = 2,701 AF). Altogether, Cal-Am is currently allowed to produce 13,009 AF from Carmel River and Seaside Coastal sources for customers in its main Monterey system and 147 AF from the Laguna Seca Subarea for customers in Ryan Ranch, Hidden Hills, and Bishop Systems (not adjusted for ASR recovery or Sand City Desalination). For WY 2012 through December, Cal-Am has produced 2,814 AF from the Carmel River, Seaside Basins, Sand City Desalination, and ASR recovery, for customer use. This water production is 166 AF or 5.6% less than the target specified for Cal-Am’s production from the MPWRS for WY 2012 through December. A breakdown of Cal-Am’s production compared with budget targets for WY 2012 through December is included as Exhibit 20-B. Cal-Am’s production from the Carmel River Basin is reduced for diversions that are made for injection into the Seaside Basin; Cal-Am’s “native” Seaside Basin production is reduced for injected water recovery. For WY 2012 through December, 0 AF of Carmel River Basin groundwater have been diverted for Seaside Basin injection; 1,077 AF have been recovered for customer use. Exhibit 20-B shows production breakdown from all sources for all uses.
