Attachment 2 <br /> State of California DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES California Natural Resources Agency <br /> CALIFORNIA STATE WATER PROJECT <br /> NOTICE TO STATE WATER PROJECT CONTRACTORS <br /> w,spy <br /> Date: <br /> GEC 0 1 2014 <br /> Number: 14-10 <br /> Subject: 2015 State Water Project Initial Allocation — 10 Percent <br /> From: <br /> Carl A. Torgersz. <br /> Deputy Director <br /> Department of Wa'er Resources <br /> The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is initially approving 418,520 acre-feet <br /> (AF) of Table A water for long-term State Water Project (SWP) contractors in 2015. <br /> SWP supplies are projected to meet 10 percent of most SWP contractors' requests <br /> for Table A water, which totals 4,172,686 AF. Attached is the initial 2015 SWP <br /> allocation table. <br /> This initial allocation is made consistent with current and projected hydrological <br /> conditions. However, if severely dry conditions develop, the allocation may be <br /> reduced. Under extreme drought conditions, DWR may re-allocate based on human <br /> health and safety requirements. <br /> In addition, DWR received requests for delivery of SWP contractors' allocated <br /> carryover water from previous years totaling 167,465 AF (as of October 2014). DWR <br /> approves all requested carryover water for delivery in 2015. <br /> This allocation is made consistent with the long-term water supply contracts and <br /> public policy. DWR considered several factors, including California's persistent <br /> drought and resulting low storage in SWP conservation facilities, SWP operational <br /> constraints under its water right permits, the Biological Opinions for Delta Smelt and <br /> Salmon, the Longfin Smelt incidental take permit, and the 2015 Contractor demands. <br /> If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Robert <br /> Cooke, Chief, State Water Project Analysis Office, at (916) 653-4313. <br /> Attachment <br /> DWR 9625(Rev.3/12) Page 1 of 1 <br />
