Subject: Excess Voluntary Payment(s) Resulting from a Retroactive Adjustment in the Water 

Contractor Accountings, Central Valley Project (CVP), Municipal and Industrial (M&I) 

Water 

Dear Water Contractor: 

We have recently completed an adjustment to the CVP M&I individual water contractor 

accountings through September 30, 2002. These adjustments were necessary as a result of the 

Sly Park and Sugar Pine legislation (P.L. 106-377, Title II and P.L. 106-566, Title V, 

respectively) which required removal of the capital costs of these facilities from the accountings 

upon the completion of the title transfers. 

The Bureau of Reclamation recalculated the CVP M&I net results of operation by year to take 

into account the interest impact of removing these capital costs. As a result of these adjustments, 

certain Voluntary Payments made previously by you, for specific years, are now in excess of 

paying off the recalculated net results of operations. For your consideration, Voluntary 

Payments made in excess of the recalculated annual positions can be applied as noted below. 

1. Voluntary Payment for prior fiscal year(s) deficit; 

2. Voluntary Payment for FY 2004; 

3. Other water payment; and/or 

4. Refund. 

 

However, please note that any identified refundable amount may be further reduced by 

any water and/or Restoration Fund charges known to be due through February 2004. This 

may result in a reduced refund amount or no refund at all. 

 
Subject: Excess Voluntary Payment(s) Resulting from a Retroactive Adjustment in the 

 Water Contractor Accountings 

2

In addition, in order for Reclamation to complete their 2003 water contractor accountings, 

all excess voluntary payments were treated as if they were contract revenue and applied 

accordingly. Should you choose one of the other options, an adjustment will be included in 

the 2004 water contractor accountings. 

You have 30 days from the date of this letter to notify Reclamation, in writing, if you wish to 

change to another option. Otherwise, the overpayment and accounting will remain as completed 

in the 2003 accountings. If we receive your response and Reclamation subsequently determines 

that there are delinquencies as indicated above, Reclamation will notify you of any such 

adjustments in the refundable amount. 

All refunds are processed by electronic fund transfer, so if necessary, please complete the 

enclosed ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form and return it to Accounting 

Services (MP-3600) at the above address. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Bonnie 

Hood at 916-978-5371, bhood@mp.usbr.gov or Ms. Masako Altman at 916-978-5365, 

maltman@mp.usbr.gov, or TDD 916-978-5608 for either person.
