~- -19- excess water can be stored. During the initial filling of Juniper Reservoir in Water Year 1965 no direct flow demand is assumed and only 95% of the Yampa River stream- flow is diverted to storage. This is to provide for minimum downstream flows in the Yampa River. In all other months 100% of the streamflow is stored and min- imum streamflow are assumed to be met by return flows and downst~eam tributaries. Column 5 - Total in Juniper storage.

At the beginning of the study Juniper Reservoir is assumed to be empty. Column 6 - Yearly total to Yampa River Compact commitment. This value consists of a) Return flow from the Juniper direct flow rights, and b) Water spilled by the Juniper Reservoir at times when it is full and the direct flow .. ~, requirements are satisfied. Return flow is assumed to be 50% of the Deadman Bench Canal demand and 95% of the Juniper Power Plant demand. When the Yampa River at Maybell streamflow (Col. 1) exceeds the Juniper dir- ect flow requirements (Col. 2) and the Juniper Reser- voir is full (Col. 3), then water is theoretically spilled in the amount of the excess of Col. lover Col. 2. All of this spill contributes to the Compact com- mitment. Column 7 - Juniper call in effect. Juniper places a callon-- the River when either: a) Direct flow requirements (Col. 2) are less than available stre~flow ICol. 1), or; b) The amount of water in storage (Col. 5) and the year- ly diversion to storage are both less than the decreed amount.
