How, Therei"ore, Be it Resolved:

The Commission finds as follows:

(a) That because of change of physical conditions, reliable records
of the amount of water passing San Marcial ue no longer obtaine.,ble
at the stream gaging station at San Marcial and that the s!lllle should
be abandoned for Compact purposes.

(b) That the need for concurrent records at S'll Marcial and San
Acacia, no longer exists and that the gaging station at San Acacia
should be abandoned for Compact purposes.

(c) That it is desirable and necessary th..t the obligations of
New Mexico under the Compact to deliver water in the months
of July, August, September should be scheduled.

(d) That the change in gaging stations and substitution of the
new measurements as hereinafter set forth will result in sub-
stantially the same results so far as the rights and obligations
to deliver wuter are concerned, and would have existed if such
substitution of stations and measurements had not been so mEaie.
