One Year Semitropic Groundwater Intrabank Transfer of Up to 10,000 Acre-feet of Article 21 Water from SCVWD to PCWC

One Year Semitropic Groundwater Intrabank Transfer of Up to 10,000 Acre-feet of Article 21 Water from SCVWD to PCWC

SCVWD is requesting approval to transfer up to 10,000 AF from SCVWD to PCWC for future recovery and delivery to PCWC lands in Wheeler Ridge-Maricopa Water Storage District (WRMWDS), another KCWA member-unit. The stored water is SWP Article 21 water, stored in 2005 and 2006 by SCVWD in the Semitropic Water Bank. This intra-bank transfer is scheduled to be completed in 2008, but must be completed no later than April 1, 2009. In years when water supply exceeds the amount requested to meet SWP allocations (for storage, contract deliveries, water quality and environmental needs), the excess supply is made available to requesting contractors. The water associated with this transfer was delivered and stored in 2005 and 2006, years in which DWR allocated 90% and 100%, respectively, of Table A amounts to SWP contractors, and made additional unconstrained Article 21 deliveries under the SWP contracts. Thus, this transfer from one SWP contractor to another involves water that would not have been used by other SWP contractors at the time it was available for delivery.
