Exhibit 23-A shows the
water supply status for the Monterey Peninsula Water Resources System (MPWRS)
as of February 1, 2012. This system includes the surface water
resources in the
Water Supply Status: As
shown, rainfall during January 2012 totaled
3.18 inches and brings
the cumulative rainfall total for WY 2012 to 6.58 inches, which is 59%
of the long-term average through January
of 11.22 inches. Estimated unimpaired runoff during January 2012 totaled 2,654 acre-feet
(AF) and brings the cumulative runoff total for WY 2012 to 5,757 AF, which is 29% of
the long-term average through January
of 19,926 AF. Usable storage, which includes surface and
groundwater, was 29,250 AF,
or 97% of the long-term average through
January of 30,150 AF. This storage
equates to 78% of system
capacity. In addition, 0 adult steelhead were counted in the fish
ladder at San Clemente Dam for WY 2012 through January.
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 Cal-Am’s native groundwater allocation 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 January, Cal-Am has produced 3,706 AF from the Carmel River, Seaside Basins, Sand City Desalination, and ASR recovery, for customer use. This water production is 96 AF or 2.5% less than the target specified for Cal-Am’s production from the MPWRS for WY 2012 through January. A breakdown of Cal-Am’s production for WY 2012 through January is included as Exhibit 23-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 January, 0 AF of Carmel River Basin groundwater have been diverted for Seaside Basin injection; 1,177 AF have been recovered for customer use. Exhibit 23-C shows production breakdown from all sources for all uses.
