8 2013 Plan of Operation Three Main Components to Consider Water Availability Funding Storage Facility Capacity

9 Water Availability 2013 Colorado River Lower Basin State Diversions Normal Operating Conditions – 2.8 MAF Central Arizona Project – 1.6 MAF (available for delivery 1.54 MAF) On-River – 1.2 MAF CAWCD Policy for Distributing Excess CAP Water 175,ooo AF AWBA/CAGRD Replenishment Reserve Pool Increased higher priority uses (M&I subcontract, Indian contract, & CAGRD) resulted in reduction to pool 61,371 AF available to pool in 2013 AWBA share of reduced pool – 52,546 AF

10 Funding Sources Withdrawal Fees Collected in Phoenix, Pinal and Tucson AMAs 4-Cent Ad valorem Tax Levied by CAWCD in Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima Counties Retained in CAWCD fund accounts since 2003 Utilized by CAWCD to offset AWBA water storage and delivery costs as part of project operating & maintenance costs General Fund Appropriations Other Funds Pursuant to Contractual Agreements Shortage Reparation – Arizona/Nevada Shortage Sharing Interstate Water Banking

11 Storage Facility Capacity Meetings with Storage Facility Operators to Discuss Storage Opportunities Significant Interest in Providing Storage Capacity Sufficient Storage Capacity Available if Additional Water Becomes Available
