<br />. .. <br /> <br />-28- <br /> <br />Summary and Conclusions <br /> <br />" <br />The yield of the Public Service Company water rights is <br />dependent on the physical and legal supply of water. Analy- <br />sis of runoff data has shown that 39,039 acre-feet of active <br />storage in the Hinman Park Reservoir will yield a dependable <br />physical supply of 6,600 acre-feet per month, or 109 cfs. <br /> <br />_ _ __L_e_g~_l_ !'~~~~ _ o_f_ ~!I':l_w~~~E _ri_g!J.~s_~~ ggp~ndent nlL the -exten-t-- <br />----- of development of senior conditional water rights.

The <br />two senior rights which potentially will have the most effect <br />on the Public Service Company rights are the Juniper Project <br />and the Upper Colorado River Compact. <br /> <br />~ <br />I <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />No attempt has been made in this report to determine the <br />liklihood of the Juniper Project being built and, if built, <br />the size to which it will be developed. Rather, this report <br />has studied the operation of the Public Service Company <br />rights under various degrees of Juniper development. <br /> <br />With respect to the Public Service Company water rights the <br />following conclusions are drawn: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />For a Saddle Mountain Pump Station require- <br />ment of 65 cfs, the Hinman Park Reservoir will <br />deliver reliable year-round agumentation water, <br />-wnen- needed-,--- provided the Juniper Project is <br />developed to a capacity of no~ more than 700,000 <br />acre-feet. If the Juniper Project is developed <br />to a capacity exceeding 700,000 acre-feet, the <br />level of water in the Hinman Park Reservoir will <br />occasionally fall to the dead storage level of <br />5,000 acre-feet and augmentation water will not <br />be available to the pump stations when needed. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />C\) <br /> <br />Leonard Rice Consulting Waler Englneer~ Inc, <br /> <br />1469 <br />
