<BR> 032709 letter KDM ??/Div WRights to Sahlberg/Reclamation re Reclamation
  02/17/2009 request for "a status update regarding its pending time 
  extension petitions for the " CVP permits; "Reclamation originally requested
  extensions of time for the CVP permits as part of its September 19, 1985
  petition letter requesting consolidation and expansion of the place
  of use of the CVP water right permits.  The 1985 petitions for extension 
  of time were publicly noticed with the CVP consolidation petitions.
  Protests were filed at that time, but it appears that the protests
  primarily address the consolidation petitions." [para] On 06/26/1996 
  "Reclamation filed a letter requesting time extensions on the [32] water
  rights listed above.  The 1996 letter was intended to follow-up on a
  time extension request incorporated in the [09/19/1985] Reclamation 
  petition letter.  Once a time extension petition is noticed, it cannot be 
  expanded."  procedure is to file new petitions; Div would like to close
  out the 1985 petitions, 1) cancel in favor of the newly submitted
  petitions, or 2) indicate the 1985 petitions superseded by 2009
  petitions, or 3) Div cancels the 1985 petitions because of no CEQA
  document; 30 days to respond, sig page missing?

<BR> 062309 Petition for Extension of Time Ap 018115 Permit 13776 --
<LI> Supplement to Petition [swrcb/18115ext.pdf] --
  "Reclamation has further determined that it is not possible at this time
  to accurately predict future operations and diversion levels at specific
  times during the extension period.  Major uncertainties that include 
  possible future State Water Board actions involving additional conditions
  to CVP permits, outcome of the Bay Delta Conservation Program...process,
  as well as any other future actions necessary for compliance with the
  Federal Endangered Species Act, frustrate any attempt to make such 
  predictions at this time."  "extension of time until the year 2030"
  [what happened to 40 years?]; refers to Bay Delta Conservation Plan
  EIR/EIS as covering Reclamation?
<BR>
<BR> 071409 letter KDM/Div WRights to Woodley/Reclamation sig page missing
  received 32 petitions 06/29/2009 which supersede Reclamation's 09/19/1985
  petitions for extension of time, no fees submitted? no agreement on file to
  reimburse the board (they expired 06/30/2009)?  thus ap is incomplete & 
  won't be processed, per Water Code 1560 subd (b)(4); Reclamation asserts
  that as superseding, no CDFG fee required, agree.
