ESA Consultation cont’d
• Reclamation consulting with– U.S. Fish and Wildlife– NOAA Fisheries
• DWR consulting with– Department of Fish and Game

Reason for Consultation
• CVP/SWP affect listed species– Primarily coho salmon, winter-run and spring-
run Chinook salmon, steelhead, and delta smelt
• Long-term BOs date from 1993 and 1995• Short-term BO on spring-run/steelhead• Update operations to WY 2004• Long-term BOs need to be concurrent with
CVP long-term contracts (2005 – 2030)

Consultation Documents
• Operations Criteria and Plan– Detailed analysis and explanation of criteria and
procedures for CVP/SWP operations
• Biological Assessment– Identification of proposed actions (continuing operation)
of CVP/SWP – present through a future level of development
– Analysis of effects on listed species of CVP/SWP operations
• Completion of consultation documents targeted for January 2004

Model AssumptionsFuture Conditions
• Trinity River 369 – 815 KAF
• May 2003 (b)(2) Decision
• 2020 Level of development
• Environmental Water Account (EWA)
• Freeport Project (EBMUD as an exporter)

Changes since June 2003
• Use the May 03 (b)(2) decision throughout
• Revise the EWA implementation in the CALSIM modeling
• Including the SDIP and Intertie
• Working with all 5 agencies on Project Description
![Page 13: OCAP/SDIP Public Information Meeting](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082712/56813d21550346895da6e29e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
May 2003 (b)(2) Decision
• Target of up to 200,000 acre-feet in October to January
• Service and Reclamation will confer when the target may be exceeded
![Page 14: OCAP/SDIP Public Information Meeting](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082712/56813d21550346895da6e29e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
EWA Modeling Improvements
• Refine Excessive Debt Accrual
• Ability to Have Debt carryover from year to year
• Refine Action Definitions
• Goal was to have a water balance and reflect the way EWA has been used in recent years
![Page 15: OCAP/SDIP Public Information Meeting](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082712/56813d21550346895da6e29e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Continued EWA Assumptions
• CALSIM doesn’t have all the variable assets modeled.
• Therefore CALSIM simulates actions at levels that are less than what’s probably possible.

DMC/CA Aqueduct Intertie
• Allows 400 cfs from the DMC to the California Aqueduct
• Allows Tracy pumping plant to pump its full capacity of 4600 cfs
• Operated by the SLDMW Authority with the agreement of Reclamation and DWR
