<br />Ii 0 II B;i 3 <br /> <br />Ditch and delivered through its system for irrigation in the Strawberry Creek area near the Town <br />of Granby. Records obtained from Denver indicate that the total diversions from Meadow Creek <br />by the Vail Ditch (both direct flow and storage) averaged about 2.460 acre-feet during the CROSS <br />study period. <br /> <br />Delivery of direct flow water and storage water from the Englewood Cabin-Meadow Creek <br />system is measured through a flume at the point of connection to Denver's Ranch Creek system <br />(Measured flow at "Cabin Gage No.1 minus the flow through a spill gage - "Cabin Gage No.2"). <br />Records of the historic delivery into Denver's system were obtained from Denver for inclusion in <br />the CROSS. For the CROSS study period of 1975 through 1991, the average annual delivery of <br />the Cabin-Meadow Creek systems was about 5,583 acre-feet. Historically, about 61 % of the this <br />system yield derive~from storage releases from Meadow Creek Reservoir and 39% of the yield <br />is attributable to the direct flow rights on the tributary streams. <br /> <br />Records maintained by Denver indicate that during the 1975 through 1992 period, the <br />Climax replacement account yielded an average of about 2,600 acre-feet (about 47% of the total <br />yield of the Cabin-Meadow Creek system). However, only about 1,200 acre-feet were actually <br />needed by Climax to support out of priority diversions at the Henderson Mill. The remaining <br />portion of the Climax yield was diverted by Denver through the Moffat Tunnel, pursuant to the <br />agreements. <br /> <br />In 1995, the operation of the Cabin-Meadow Creek project was modified, with the result <br />that the Climax exchange account is no longer operated. In the future, all of the system yield is <br />now diverted by Denver and Englewood through the Moffat Tunnel. Out of priority diversions at <br />Climax' Henderson Mill will now be replaced using water in Denver's Williams Fork Reservoir, <br />pursuant to a new agreement. <br /> <br />For operations of future scenarios in the CROSS, the average annual yield of the Cabin- <br />Meadow Creek project to Denver is estimated to be about 7,770 acre-feet distributed as follows: <br /> <br />May <br />June <br />July <br /> <br />2,338 ac-ft <br />2.696 ac-ft <br />846 ac-ft <br /> <br />August <br />September <br />October <br /> <br />1,020 ac-ft <br />561 ac-ft <br />310 ac-ft <br /> <br />0-7 <br />
