The model run results cover the period of November 10, through November 30, and are based on the following assumptions:

Common Assumptions

1. CCFB Gates are operating to Priority 1 throughout the forecast period.
2. The Delta Cross Channel gates are closed from November 12 at 900 hour through November 13 at 900 hour, and open during the remainder of the forecast period.  
3. The Middle River ag. Barrier is installed with all 6 flap-gates operating tidally, the barrier is anticipated to be removed on November 20. 
4. The Old River at Tracy ag. Barrier was removed on November 4. 
5. The Grant Line Canal ag. Barrier was removed on November 4. 
6. The Fall-Head of Old River Barrier is installed with a notch, all 6 culvert slide-gates were opened on November 4, and the barrier is anticipated to be removed on November 13. 
7. The West False River drought barrier was officially breached on October 1 and is being gradually removed through November 15.

9.  San Joaquin River flow at Vernalis is 1008 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and is anticipated to decrease to 700 cfs by the end of the forecast period. The higher flow at the beginning of the forecast period is due to the last days of fall pulse flow on the Stanislaus River as required by the NMFS Biological Opinion.
10. San Joaquin River EC at Vernalis is projected to increase from 215 umhos/cm at the beginning of the forecast period to 300 umhos/cm by the end of forecast period
11.  Sacramento River flow at Freeport is at 6,797 cfs at the beginning of the forecast period and decreases to 6,650 cfs by the end of the forecast period.
12. CCFB intake is at 1,000 cfs throughout the forecast period.
