**Development of OCAP Proposal**

## Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Delta)

- CALFED Bay-Delta Program
- Record of Decision August 2000
- EWA First Year
-  2000-01

## EWA Topics

- What Is EWA?
- Summary of First 3 Years
- Fish actions
- Water Purchases
- Dollars
- Development of EWA OCAP Proposal

## What is EWA

- Cooperative Management Program
- to provide protection to fish of the B/D
- by changes in operation of the CVP & SWP
- at no uncompensated costs to project users
- Four year program extendable by EWA Agencies
- ESA Water Supply Commitments = Regulatory Baseline + Functioning EWA + Tier III + $150 Million for ERP actions

## Management of EWA

- Management Agencies - DFG, USFWS, NMSF
- Project Agencies - DWR, USBR
- Water Operations Management Team                   (WOMT)
- EWA Team  (EWAT)

- SWP Pumping of b(2) releases ( est. 40 TAF)
-  SWP pumping capability (125 TAF – W 75, S 50)
- Total EWA 380 TAF SOD Actions
- Source shift –  Obtain 100 TAF
- (bridge loan to get past low point in San Luis Reservoir)
- Borrowing -  Obtain 200 TAF SOD
- Within years and between years

## Summary Of EWAFirst Three Years

## Observations on EWA over the First Three Years  

- EWA is working.  2 Dry years, 1 Above Normal no big fights
- Fish have benefited – Stable water supply
- 2002 70 % CVP and SWP allocation in a dry year
- Focused on Delta with coordinated upstream benefits
- Yuba, Merced, American (Power Bypass)
- Approx. 900 TAF in fish actions  - $120 Million
- Average: Actions 296 TAF, Purchases 264 TAF
- 			SOD Deliveries  248 TAF
- What Price Peace

##  Other Tools and Assets 
  Pumping cuts March 15-June 15 cost 	EWA 50% above 6,680 cfs 
  SVWMA (Phase 8) water available to 	EWA in above-normal years
  Exchanges to contractors to prevent spill of 	EWA assets when San Luis Reservoir 
	fills (if EWA has stored assets)

##   Preliminary Findings
  With the tools provided in the straw 	proposal, and variable assets performing as 	projected, EWA assets will support 	desired fish actions with small risk of 	reduction
  Compromises could be required 
  Interactive application of the model can 	lead to an effective EWA
