a. "Alternate Supply" shall mean water supply to Contractor from a source other <br /> than Zone 7 or through the exercise of Contractor's Groundwater Pumping <br /> Quota. <br /> b. "Alternative GSP" shall mean the Alternative Groundwater Sustainability Plan <br /> for the Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin, as that document may be <br /> updated or amended from time to time by the Board, or any subsequent <br /> Groundwater Sustainability Plan adopted under the SGMA for the <br /> management of the Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin. <br /> c. "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of Zone 7 of Alameda County Flood <br /> Control and Water Conservation District. <br /> d. "Extract" or "Extraction" shall mean obtaining groundwater from the Main <br /> Basin by pumping or any other means, from wells, shafts, tunnels, <br /> excavations or other sources of such groundwater, for domestic, municipal, <br /> irrigation, industrial or other use. <br /> e. "Groundwater Pumping Quota" or"GPQ" shall mean that quantity of water <br /> that the Contractor is entitled to extract from the Main Basin without paying a <br /> recharge fee to Zone 7. GPQ is calculated based on the historic Safe Yield of <br /> the Main Basin. <br /> f. "In-Lieu Treated Water" shall mean that quantity of treated water delivered <br /> from Zone 7 in exchange for an equal reduction in Contractor's extraction of <br /> its Groundwater Pumping Quota. <br /> g. "Main Basin" shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the <br /> Alternative GSP, and shall include both upper and lower aquifers of the Main <br /> Basin. The Main Basin is depicted in greater detail in Exhibit A. <br /> h. "Max Day Treated Water Demand" shall mean the highest daily (midnight to <br /> midnight) water volume a Contractor has demand for over a given interval <br /> (i.e. weekly, monthly, yearly). <br /> i. "Municipal & Industrial Contractor" or"M & I Contractor" shall include <br /> Contractor or any other party to a similar wholesale M&I Contract with Zone <br /> 7. <br /> j. "Municipal & Industrial Water Supply" shall mean a supply of water from Zone <br /> 7 to each M&I Contractor regardless of the source of said water or <br /> Contractor's end use of that supply. <br /> k. "Safe Yield" shall mean the quantity of water that can be successfully <br /> extracted from the Main Basin on an annual basis over an extended number <br /> of years without reducing groundwater storage. Such safe yield is the net <br /> quantity of groundwater added to the Main Basin by stream percolation <br /> (including percolation from stream releases required for prior water rights), <br /> rainfall percolation, applied irrigation water percolation, and net subsurface <br /> inflow. Safe Yield does not include imported water. The Safe Yield for the <br /> 2 <br />
