Surface Water Rights. It is recognized that some purveyors that will sign the Water Forum Agreement have long-term surface water entitlements in excess of demands projected for the term of the Water Forum Agreement. Nothing in the agreement is intended to call for the reduction or forfeiture of existing surface water entitlements. Signatories to the agreement will honor this principle in state and federal entitlement proceedings directly related to the Water Forum Agreement as shown in Table 0.1. the chart “Major Water Supply Projects That Will Receive Water Forum Support Upon Signing the Water Forum Agreement”. It is also recognized that there may be broader state and federal entitlement proceedings where signatories may have different interests, such as the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) water rights proceeding for the Bay-Delta. Signatories agree to work in good faith through the Water Forum Successor Effort with the objective being to develop a consensus recommendation for how state and federal entitlement proceedings should affect those agencies that store and divert American River water. All signatories will make good faith efforts so that recommendations will be consistent with both coequal objectives of the Water Forum Agreement: Provide a reliable and safe water supply for the region’s economic health and planned development through to the year 2030; and Preserve the fishery, wildlife, recreational, and aesthetic values of the lower American River.
