Hi Brooke,

I just wanted to get some clarification on why San Felipe is included here. Maybe we can discuss it Friday. It

was my understanding that when we did our last contract amendment that the SFD cost allocations were settled

permanently. Is there a nuance that I’m missing?

Facilities Included The Cost Allocation Study will confirm or adjust allocations for CVP

facilities in the following divisions or units:

Shasta and Trinity River Division;

Friant Division;

Canals Unit, Sacramento River Division;

Folsom Unit, American River Division;

Delta Division;

San Luis Unit, San Felipe Division;

San Joaquin Division; and

New Melones Unit, Stanislaus Division.

With exception of the San Felipe Division, the Safety of Dams

program improvements, and potentialCVP Improvement Actauthorized projects and facilities, all current CVP facilities are subject

to the 2030 repayment obligation. The allocation for facilities with

post-2030 repayment obligations would incorporate the updated

allocation resulting from the study, and those costs would be recovered

over a separate repayment period.

Hi Brooke,

Dana is correct in that the San Felipe Division's repayment obligation for out-of-basin facilities is fixed in the form

of a repayment contract. However, the title to these facilities rests with the United States, and the facilities are

still a part of the CVP. Since they are still a part of the CVP, they are included in the plant allocation. Including

them in the allocation will not affect the repayment obligation of out-of-basin facilities.

I am not sure what happens with regard to repayment if Reclamation incurs additional construction costs on outof-basin facilities. Are the costs added into the repayment contract? A new contract? Included in repayment as

water rates? Since the repayment contract began (2007, I think), Reclamation has added to the plant in service

for the San Justo Dam and Reservoir (out of basin). I suggest asking Dick before replying to Dana.

Hi Dick,

Could you take a look at this string of e-mails and provide me any suggestions to respond to Santa Clara? Craig

thought I should talk to you before sending a response.

Thanks,

Brooke
