The model run results cover the period of November 18, 2014 through December 8, 2014 and are based on the following assumptions:

Common Assumptions
1. CCFB Gates operate to the Priority 2 schedule for the entire forecast period.
2. The Delta Cross Channel gates were opened on June 13 and remain open throughout the forecast period. 
3. The ORT and GLC ag. barriers were removed on November 5 and November 4 respectively.
4. The Middle River ag. barrier was removed on November 18. 
5.  Suisun Marsh salinity control flashboards are installed and the three Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates are being tidally operated as of October 22.
6.  San Joaquin River flow at Vernalis is 710 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and is anticipated to decrease to 700 cfs by the end of the forecast period. 
7. San Joaquin River EC at Vernalis is projected to increase from 527 umhos/cm at the beginning of the forecast period to 550 umhos/cm by the end of forecast period.
8.  Sacramento River flow at Freeport is 7,360 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and decreases to 6,900 cfs by the end of the forecast period.
9. CCFB allotment is approximately 2,300 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and decreases to 1,300 cfs by the end of the forecast period.


With JPOD (Base Case) Assumptions
Export at Jones Pumping Plant remains at 800 cfs for the entire forecast period; however, beginning November 20, approximately 250 cfs of the 800 cfs pumped at Jones will be allocated to SWP and transferred back through the Intertie. 

Without JPOD (B) Assumptions
Export at Jones Pumping Plant remains at 800 cfs for the entire forecast period, but the full amount will stay in the CVP’s upper Delta-Mendota Canal.  (No water will be moved through the Intertie.)
