11a. Additional Remarks
1. The water operations of the Districts are supported by pre-1914 direct diversion and storage rights, riparian power rights, and post-1914 direct diversion and storage rights. Neither the Tuolumne River nor the San Joaquin River System has been adjudicated. The Districts are reporting their post-1914 water use in accordance with the SWRCB directions, all of which directions have not been codified into legally binding regulations or statutes. Therefore, the Districts reserve all of their legal rights with regards to all of their water rights and the reporting of their water uses. 2. The Districts have pre-1914 direct diversion and storage rights. Since the Notice to Water Right Licensee dated February 2011, requires ¿assigning water to the senior-most right first,¿ exercise of the Districts¿ rights under those pre-1914 rights will be reported on their 2013, 2014, and 2015 Supplemental Statements of Water Diversion and Use, which are due July 2016. Requiring the Districts to exercise their pre-1914 rights first may also result in water not being diverted in any given year under an individual license because water is not available, the license is a junior right, or some natural or other calamity prevents the Districts from exercising their rights under the license. 3. The Notice to Water Right Licensee dated February 2011, requires ¿assigning water to the senior-most right first.¿ The Districts have followed that requirement with regard to direct diversions to use and collections to storage. While the Districts have also followed that requirement with regards to withdrawals from storage, the Districts contend that withdrawals from storage for use should be accounted for by the junior-most right first (i.e., LIFO) rather than by the senior-most right first (i.e., FIFO). 4. Collections to storage for irrigation and M&I uses under the Districts¿ licenses are also reported as collections to storage under the Districts¿ licenses for power since they have the same place of storage. The intent is that each licensed used is supported by collections to storage for that use. 5. The Districts will be reporting water credits for conserved water and for the conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water in the 2013, 2014, and 2015 Supplemental Statements of Water Diversion and Use, which are due July 2016. 6. For License 11058: In compliance with Ordering Paragraph 5 of SWRCB WR Order 2005-0022 DWR, the monthly amounts of water withdrawn from storage and transferred by MID to the City of Modesto for municipal and industrial purposes are reported herein.
