The model run results cover the period of November 25, 2014 through December 15, 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, will close on December 1, and will remain closed throughout the forecast period. 
3. The Grant line Canal, Old River at Tracy, and Middle River ag. barriers were removed on November 4, November 5, and November 18 respectively.
4.  Suisun Marsh salinity control flashboards are installed and the three Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates are being tidally operated as of October 22.
5.  San Joaquin River flow at Vernalis is 793 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and is anticipated to decrease to 700 cfs by the end of the forecast period. 
6. San Joaquin River EC at Vernalis is projected to increase from 612 umhos/cm at the beginning of the forecast period to 722 umhos/cm by the end of forecast period.
7.  Sacramento River flow at Freeport is 8,077 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and decreases to 7,650 cfs by the end of the forecast period.
8. CCFB allotment is approximately 3,490 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and decreases to 3,000 cfs by the end of the forecast period.


With JPOD (Base Case) Assumptions
9. Export at Jones Pumping Plant remains at 800 cfs for the entire forecast period; however, beginning with 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
9. 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.)
