<br />C) <br />,-, <br /> <br />Mr. David Brenn and Mr. James Rogers <br />December I, 1999 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />l\:) <br />~ <br />UI <br />~ <br /> <br />determined, the sum of which established the limit of Section II water that was subject to <br />spill (267,789.10 a.f.). A ratio of the volume controlled by each state to the total volume <br />at that time was also determined to calculate the amount of deduction to be subtracted <br />from each state's account(s). This ratio was determined to be .4849 for Colorado and <br />.5151 for Kansas. The spill of Section II accounts was discontinued on June 3, 1999 <br />when it was determined that 267,789.10 a.f. had spilled. Thereafter, 1665.47 a.f. was <br />spilled from the transit loss account, which was emptied on June 4, 1999. <br /> <br />Throughout the period of spill, the Corps. of Engineers determined and controlled <br />the physical rate of release from the John Martin Reservoir flood pool and the accounting <br />in this report assigns all evaporation charges to the flood pool. All waters in excess of the <br />maximum allowable invasion of the flood pool were evacuated by 0515 hour on July 6, <br />1999. <br /> <br />Kansas placed a demand for one run of water from its' Section II account during <br />the year. The account release took place from July 8,1999 to August 2,1999. No water <br />was available within the transit loss account during the period of this run. See Table XI- <br />A in Section 4 of this report for additional details. <br /> <br />On August 8, 1999 it was again determined that the content of John Martin <br />Reservoir had exceeded the limit of maximum allowable invasion of the flood pool as of <br />0330 hour on that date. At that time the only accounts containing water that were subject <br />to spill were the offset account and Section II accounts. Using the procedures described <br />above in relation to the first period of spill, it was determined that the 304.82 a.f. <br />contained within the offset account was evacuated by 0502 hours on August 8, 1999. <br />Also, the total content of Section II accounts at that time was determined to be <br />175,786.25 a.f., of which Colorado's control ratio was .6488 and Kansas' was .3512. <br />However, by the time that the content of the reservoir was reduced to the level of the <br />maximum allowable invasion of the flood pool at approximately 2400 hours on August <br />25, 1999, only 55,050.07 a.f. had been released/transferred from Section II accounts. <br />Also see spreadsheet documenting adjustments to inflow for upstream post-compact <br />diversions of stream flow during this spill period in Section 2 of this report. It is <br />noteworthy that Table IX shows that the total amount released from the flood pool during <br />both spills was 360,036.82 a.f. whereas the record show that upstream post-compact <br />diversions of streamflow totaled 91,550.92 a.f. or 25.43% of the amount spilled. <br /> <br />During the remainder of the compact year inflow continued to accrue to <br />conservation storage and concurrently transfers of conservation storage were made to <br />Section II accounts. Table VIII shows that an additional delivery of 413.47 a.f. of water <br />which originated from the Colorado River basin was made to the permanent recreation <br />pool during the month of September 1999 as provided for by the April 15, 1980 <br />resolution of the Arkansas River Compact Administration (see Section 3 of this report for <br />additional documentation related to this operation). No transfers of water to the <br />
