four agencies will be adding to their storage accounts. Total extraction

C. Status Report on the Development of a Return Flow Methodology for
the Beaumont Basin
Recommendation: No recommendation.
Mr. Ben Lewis with Thomas Harder and Company noted that after all
data is received the company will conduct an analysis to determine how
much of the water deliveries became return flow, and analyze lag time
between water applied to the land surface percolating through the
subsurface and reaching the water table. This is expected to be
completed in February or March of 2019.
Mr. Jaggers pointed out Yucaipa should be clarified as the Yucaipa Valley
Water District on the slide.

and will stay fixed through 2021, Blandon pointed out.
