By rule, 45 days between November-January, based on real time monitoring. For modeling purposes, the days closed where divided between December and January.

Note: Some real-time changes possible based on:

  • fish monitoring

  • interior delta salinity

  • flood operations

In May, typically open for Memorial Day.
