The model run results cover the period of October 28, 2014 through November 17, 2014 and are based on the following assumptions:

Common Assumptions

1. CCFB Gates operate Priority 2 schedule for the entire forecast period.
2. The Delta Cross Channel gates were opened on June 13th, closed on October 28, and opened again on October 30.
3. The Old River at Tracy ag. barrier has been installed with all flap gates tidally operating as of April 8 and is scheduled to be removed November 5.
4. The Grant Line Canal ag. barrier has been fully installed with all 6 culvert flap-gates tied open beginning on September 30 and is scheduled to be removed November 5.
5. The Middle River ag. barrier is installed with all flap-gates tidally operated as of April 8.  The barrier was raised 1 foot on June 26. 
6. The Fall-Head of Old River barrier was installed on October 1, all 6 culvert slide-gates are scheduled to be opened November 4, and the barrier is scheduled to be removed November 11.
7.  Suisun Marsh salinity control flashboards are installed and the three Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates resumed tidal operation October 22.
8.  San Joaquin River flow at Vernalis is 1,207 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and is anticipated to decrease to 600 cfs by the end of the forecast period. The decrease in flow is due to the fall pulse flow at the beginning of the forecast period on the Stanislaus River as required by the NMFS Biological Opinion.
9. San Joaquin River EC at Vernalis is projected to increase from 314 umhos/cm at the beginning of the forecast period to 591 umhos/cm by the end of forecast period.

12. Export at Jones Pumping Plant is at 607 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and will increase to 800 cfs by the end of the forecast period.

Without Transfers (B) Assumptions

10.  Sacramento River flow at Freeport is at 6,565 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and decreases to 5,282 cfs by the end of the forecast period.
11. CCFB intake is at 295 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and will increase to 800 cfs by the end of the forecast period.
12. Export at Jones Pumping Plant is at 607 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and will decrease to zero cfs by the end of the forecast period.
