  1. Reclamation & DWR Agenda OCAP/SDIP Public Information Meeting • Chet Bowling - Intro • Ann Lubas-Williams – OCAP • Andy Chu – SDIP • Jerry Johns – EWA • Ron Ott – Other CALFED Activities • Kathy Kelly – IKM & Wrap up

  2. CVO Website • http://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvo/ • Should have a title for Today’s Presentation • Plan to Post on Wednesday, November 26

  3. Biological Assessment andCentral Valley Project Operations Criteria and Plan Bureau of Reclamation Department of Water Resources November 25, 2003

  4. ESA Consultation • Section 7(a)(2) consultation • Addresses combined major hydrologic operations of the Central Valley Project and State Water Project • Reclamation lead Federal agency • Dept. Water Resources lead State agency

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

  6. 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)

  7. 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

  8. Operations and Criteria Plan • Detailed project description • Historic modeling (past to present) • Forecasting process

  9. OCAP Biological Assessment • Description of Action • Biology of listed species • Modeling present and future conditions • Impact analyses • Ongoing actions to reduce impacts

  10. Model AssumptionsPresent Conditions • Trinity River 369 – 453 KAF • May 2003 (b)(2) Decision • 2001 level of development • Environmental Water Account (EWA)

  11. 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) • South Delta Improvement Program • DMC/CA Aqueduct Intertie

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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.

  16. 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

  17. Agency Schedule • Project Description – Nov 03 • Effects Analyses – Dec 03 • Initiate Consultation – Jan 04 • B.O.’s by June 30, 2004
