Applicant: State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Bay-Delta Office, Room 215-26, P.O. Box 942836, Sacramento, CA 94236, Attn: Robert Pedlar:
 
The applicant's project purpose is to increase water diversions out of Old River into the Clifton Court Forebay (CCF) to cover water supply reductions taken to protect sensitive fisheries.  The SWP would capture water provided through the Environmental Water Account (EWA) to recover water supply costs associated with previous reductions in SWP diversions undertaken to benefit Bay-Delta fishery resources.  The maximum daily diversion rate into CCF during the months of July, August, and September, in calendar years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, would increase from 13,870 acre-feet (af) to 14,860 af and the maximum three-day running average diversions would be increased from 13,250 af to 14,240 af.  This project is located in Tracy, in Contra Costa County, California, in Section 20, Township 1 South, Range 4 East, MDB&M.
