North of Delta Storage Not Moved to San Luis Res The Wat er Agency , Inc. Water Supply Update CVP Storage: North of Delta Storage not moved to San Luis Res. The chart to the right was presented to the San Luis and Delta Mendota Water Authority board of directors meeting by its water engineer Tom Boardman. It shows just how out of whack and impactful for the California water users the National Marine Fisheries Agency ESA actions have been. San Luis Reservoir is not only at critical levels, but USBR has a huge amount of water it will need to pump just to payback water it has “borrowed” to meet allocations this year. Much of the borrowing of water was done without asking the owners of the water if that was ok. There is probably a different word that describes that action . San Luis Reservoir Not Expected to Refill This Year Thankfully, Federal CVP Jones plant pumping has been up, but with only one to two units. Three units probably won’t start until mid-August. Even so, as seen in the projections below, Tom Boardman’s chart shows that San Luis is not expected to refill this year as previously thought based upon the 118 percent of normal hydrology experienced in Northern California this year. Indeed, normal hydrology will only yield a forecasted 1.3 million acre feet in the 2 MAF reservoir. (559) 438-8418 08/09/2016 Page 1 The Wat er Agency , Inc. Water Supply Update San Luis Reservoir Still at Critically Low Levels As of August 7th, San Luis storage is at 205,836AF and is at 10% of capacity (up 10,540AF from last week and unchanged in capacity percentage). The historical average is at 21% of normal for this time of year. This is lower than even 1976-77 —only this time Shasta Reservoir is at 109% of historical levels for this time of the year. http://cdec.water.ca.gov/reservoir_map.html 3A00&geom=huge&interval=5333&cookies=cdec01 http://cdec.water.ca.gov/jspplot/jspPlotServlet.jsp?sensor_no=3778&end=08%2F08%2F2016+10% (559) 438-8418 08/09/2016 Page 2 The Wat er Agency , Inc. Water Supply Update Federal Storage within San Luis Reservoir As of August 7th, federal storage was at 39,571AF (4.10% full—down 311AF from last week). At least 38,000AF of that amount has been borrowed from the State Water Project. That has increased the debt to the State Project to about 110,000 acre feet. The Federal Level needs to be higher than 38,000 AF to equal the Federal share of the dead-pool space in San Luis Reservoir. The Federal share now compares to 44,000AF one year ago during a drought year as compared to the above normal precipitation year in the Northern California watershed from which the CVP water is generated. Total federal storage capacity is 965,655AF. The federal share of the reservoir is approximately 17% of the 15-year average of 233,000AF. State Storage within San Luis Reservoir As of August 7th, state storage was at 166,265AF (now at 15.65% capacity—up 10,851AF from last week). The total state storage capacity in SLR is 1,062,180AF. Total State and Federal storage reported is 205,836AF. The reservoir is at 10% of capacity. http://www.water.ca.gov/swp/operationscontrol/docs/storsanl.pdf (559) 438-8418 08/09/2016 Page 3 The Wat er Agency , Inc.

  • Parasites of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides)
    PARASITES OF LARGEMOUTH BASS (MICROPTERUS SALMOIDES) IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA By Daniel J. Troxel A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of The Requirements for the Degree Masters of Science Natural Resources, Fisheries November, 2010 ABSTRACT Parasites of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in northern California Daniel J. Troxel A total of fifty largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were collected from Clear Lake, Lake Berryessa, Lake Sonoma, Trinity Lake and the Sacramento – San Joaquin River Delta. All fish were infected with at least one parasite, with the exception of one juvenile fish from Trinity Lake in which no parasites were found. The following parasites were observed in largemouth bass: Actinocleiudus unguis, Clavunculus bursatus, Clinostomum complanatum, Proteocephalus pearsei, Contracaecum sp., Hysterothylacium (?) sp., Spinitectus carolini, Camallanus sp., Neoechinorhynchus cylindratus, Myzobdella lugubris, Batracobdella phalera, Ergasilus centrarchidarum, and Argulus flavescens. In addition to these identified parasites, I also found an unidentified leech and Proteocephalus sp. plerocercoids, which could not be identified to species. All of these parasites have been previously reported infecting largemouth bass. Clinostomum complanatum, Contracaecum sp. and Myzobdella lugubris, have been previously reported in California; but these are the first known reports from largemouth bass in California. Actinocleidus unguis was the only parasite found that has previously been reported to infect largemouth bass in California. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first and foremost like to acknowledge my parents, without their support over the past two years this project would not have been possible. I would like to thank Dr. Gary Hendrickson for his contributions in the laboratory during the long process of identifying parasites.

PURPOSE OF THE BILL The purpose of H.R. 63 is to designate the reservoir created by Trinity Dam in the Central Valley Project, California, as ``Trinity Lake''. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION H.R. 63 would designate the reservoir created by Trinity Dam in the Central Valley Project, California, as ``Trinity Lake.'' Under the provisions of P.L. 88±662, the reservoir is currently designated as ``Clair Engle Lake,'' and therefore requires legislation in order for the name to be changed. Trinity Dam and the reservoir on the Trinity River regulate a drainage area of over 728 square miles. Trinity Dam, completed in 1962, is an earthfill structure 538 feet high with a crest length of 2,450 feet. The reservoir has a maximum storage capacity of 2.448 million acre-feet of water. Releases from the reservoir are used to generate power at Trinity, Lewiston, Spring Creek, Judge Francis Carr, and Keswick powerplants, and for consumptive use in the Central Valley Project.

  • It9 (Si OVERVIEW Background The
    'It9 (Si OVERVIEW Background The Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District (GCID) appropriative water rights began on the Sacramento River with an 1883 filing posted on a tree by Will S. Green, surveyor, newspaperman, public official, and pioneer irrigator. His first claim was for 500,000 miner's inches under 4 inches of pressure and was one of the earliest and largest water rights on the Sacramento River. GOD was organized in 1920, after several private companies failed financially, and a group of landowners reorganized and refinanced the irrigation district, retaining claim to Green's historic water right. The disastrous rice crop failure of 1920-21 nearly destroyed the district at its inception, and the Great Depression took a further toll, making it necessary for the district to refinance in the 1930s. Additionally, the United States purchased lands within GOD during this period which would later become three federal refuges totaling approximately 20,000 acres. Today, after surviving many challenges, GOD is the largest district in the Sacramento Valley. Located approximately eighty miles north of Sacramento, California, the district boundaries cover approximately 175,000 acres; of which 153,000 acres are deeded property and 138,800 are irrigable. There are 1,076 landowners in the District and an additional 300 tenant water users. There are an additional 5,000 acres of private habitat land, and winter water supplied by GOD to thousands of acres of rice land provides valuable habitat for migrating waterfowl during the winter months. GCID's main pump station, its only diversion from the Sacramento River, is located near Hamilton City.

TRINITY LAKE SEPTEMBER 2, 1997.ÐOrdered to be printed Mr. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H.R. 63] The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was referred the Act (H.R. 63) to designate the reservoir created by Trinity Dam in the Central Valley project, California, as ``Trinity Lake'', having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with- out amendment and recommends that the Act do pass. PURPOSE OF THE MEASURE The purpose of H.R. 63 is to designate the reservoir created by Trinity Dam in the Central Valley Project, California, as ``Trinity Lake''. BACKGROUND AND NEED H.R. 63 redesignates Clair Engle Lake (the reservoir created be- hind the Trinity Dam in California), as ``Trinity Lake''. The name change will bring the name of the reservoir into conformity with the other facilities at the site, including the Trinity Dam and the Trinity powerplant which are both located on the Trinity River. Re- designation will decrease confusion related to the reservoir and bet- ter match the way local users of the reservoir refer to the lake. Clair Engle Lake is the largest body of recreational water in Trinity County, California. The dam regulates drainage in an area of over 728 square miles. The dam was completed in 1962. It is an earthfill structure 2,450 feet long at the crest, is 538 feet high and impounds up to 2,448 million acre feet of water in the reservoir.
