the lower American River, irrespective of whether EBMUD diverts wat_-r. EBMLJ~'s · <br />maximum proposed diversion of 150,ODD AFA represents approximat-.ly 12~ Of the <br />maximum projected diversion of 1,200,000 AFA by the Bureau and other inbasin <br />users, This lawsuit does not address the Bureau's water right permits and its <br />operation of Folsom Reservoir, nor does it address the use of water by other <br />tnbasin water users. l'he lawsuit only addresses EBMUD's obligation to limit <br />diversions to protect public trust uses and does not evaluate the obligation <br />of other water users. <br /> <br />In many respects, the complainants appear to seek general instream flow <br />standards to protect public trust uses that could then be applied to oth.~r <br />water users. However, an order issued by the Board or the Court as a result of <br />these proceedings is not applicable to any party other than EBMUD. <br /> <br />The absence of the Bureau as a party has several consequences. First, no <br /> <br />can be issued by the Court as a result of these proceedings that would ~o~i;~ <br /> <br />the Bureau°s operation of Folsom Reservoir, Second, prohibiting ER'IL'.} fr~ <br />diverting water through the Folsom-South Canal may not result in any more <br />flowing in the lower Amrican River. If EBMU9 is required to divert belnw <br />confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, the water released by the <br /> <br />Bureau to meet the 2SD cfs minimum instream flow standard could also be use~ to <br />satisfy E)UD's contractual denand, Third, the Bureau's absence may result <br />additional, expensive litigation against the Bureau, or other agencies seekin0 <br />to divert water through the Foist-South Canal. Lastly, this lawsuit tends ~o ' <br />place the burden on EBMUD for maintaining adequate tnstream flow, without <br />addressing the obl igation of other parties who use water from the American <br /> <br />River. <br /> <br /> 16 <br /> <br /> <br />
