14. Drought Represents a Harbinger of Disaster for Clean Energy in California –Pending State Water Board Actions Will Result in Lake McClure and Others Being Emptier More Frequently According to Pacific Institute (March 2015) – Increase of 8% In CO2 Due to Loss of Hydroelectric Power Over Last 4 Years –Power Plants Combusted Fossil Fuels to Make Up for Deficit In Hydroelectric Production

15. SWRCB SED –Along with Several Other Irrigation Districts Along East Side of San Joaquin Valley, Faced with Ongoing Future Loss of Stored Water –35% Unimpaired Flow Releases February – June –Significantly Impacts Operations –Reduces Generation During Summer Months –Will Have Host of Impacts to Groundwater and Our Disadvantaged Community’s Economy –Will Have Significant Impact on Ability to Produce Emission- Free Energy And Provide Load Balancing With Increased Introduction of Solar And Wind Energy –Will Affect Merced ID’s Ability to Help State Meet Its Goals of RPS Implementation and Greenhouse Gas Reduction

17. Working with SWRCB on its SED – Flows SWRCB Implements Will Significantly Impact Generation Replace Turbine Runner – Complete – Previous Generation Capacity = 94.5 MW – Generation Capacity After Runner Upgrade = 100 MW Groundwater Sustainability Act Regional Leadership Integrated Regional Water Management Planning
