Notes:
1.  The budget reflects "wet-year" inflow conditions and assumes that the monthly inflows at the San Clemente Dam site during the July-September 2005 period will equal levels exceeded about 25% of the time, based on the 1902-2004 simulated period of record.
2.  The annual budget period corresponds to the Water Year, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30 of the following year.
3.  Anticipated annual production is based on Cal-Am producing a maximum of 15,285 acre-feet (AF) from its sources in the Carmel Valley and Seaside areas.  Specifically, this maximum includes no more than 11,285 AF from the Carmel River Basin and no more than 4,000 AF from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Ground Water Basin.  Monthly production estimates were calculated by multiplying the maximum annual production by the average percentage of annual production that is expected to occur each month, based on monthly production data from Water Years 1988-1997. 
4. No anticipated production for "Seaside Injection" is assumed for this three-month period.  "Total" monthly Cal-Am includes water for customer needs and any water for injection into the Seaside Ground Water Basin.
5.  No surface water diversions from San Clemente Reservoir are assumed for this period based on concerns regarding water quality (elevated turbidity) and water levels in the reservoir due to the San Clemente Reservoir Drawdown Project.
