Document Description
Lead State Agency, California Department of Water Resources and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) would defer up to 200,000 acre-feet of MWDSC's SWP entitlement water for use by the Environmental Water Account. The Environmental Water Account (managed by the regulatory agencies USFWS, NMFS, DFG) would use the water for the purpose of fish protection. MWDSC will make available 100,000 acre-feet of water at a rate of 12,500 acre-feet/month from January through August 2001. If MWDSC receives 60 percent or more of its April 2001 SWP delivery request, then it will make up to 100,000 acre-feet of additional water available for deferment. The Department will either return the deferred water or compensate MWDSC for nondelivery of the water as provided for in conditions of the agreement.
