Draft Delta Conveyance Accounting and Administration Concepts Sample Clauses

Draft Delta Conveyance Accounting and Administration Concepts. The DCF will be integrated into the State Water Project and operated to provide maximum flexibility to meet water supply, regulatory requirements and contractual obligations. There are some PWAs that may opt out of the DCF Benefits and charges. For this reason, it will be necessary to account for DCF Benefits. DCF Benefits are described in the AIP and are “those water supply and capacity benefits attributable to the DCF including but not limited to: (1) Table A water supplies; (2) Article 21 water supplies; (3) carriage water savings; (4) reliable water supply and use of DCF available capacity in the event of a temporary or permanent physical, regulatory, or contractual disruption of southern Delta diversions; and (5) use of DCF available capacity to move non-Project Water through the proposed DCF.” To account for DCF Benefits, DWR will need to determine the amount of water attributable to the DCF. DWR will primarily use two tools: 1) forecasting Project Water attributable to the DCF for the coming year; and, 2) accounting for Project Water attributable to the DCF in a timely manner. Both are described below.
