12 Riverbank Model Layer 1  Consists of sands, silts, and clays from floodplain and alluvial deposits  Superjacent ancestral stream channels cut across this formation creating lateral channels of gravels and unconsolidated sediments

13  Predominantly consists of sands, silts, and clays  Superjacent ancestral stream channels cut across this formation, creating lateral channels of gravels and unconsolidated sediments Turlock Lake Laguna Formation Model Layers 3,4 and 5

14  Composed of two dominant units:  Black andesitic sands “salt and pepper sand” and blue and brown clays  Hard gray and black tuff-breccias “lava” Mehrten Formation Model Layers 6,7 and 8

15  Consists of rhyolite ash, quartz sand, and ashy clay Valley Springs Formation Model Layer 9

16  Consists of sandstone, silts, and clays Ione Formation Model Layer 10

17 Rivers, Streams, and Canals

19 Steady State Calibrated Heads

20 Roseville Pilot Test Calibration

21 Mokelumne River

22 Model Applications  Contaminant transport analysis  Design of remediation systems  ASR design and optimization  Probabilistic modeling and risk analysis  Water banking and exchange  Surface water/ground water interaction

23 ASR Simulation

24 Summary  Realistic and accurate model of regional hydrogeology  Incorporates the latest field investigations  Based on MODFLOW suite of codes  Rapid response as questions and opportunities arise  Effective communication of results  Low-cost development and maintenance
