oG9G Metropolitan District. The Arkansas Valley Conduit was an original element of the Fry-Ark Project as authorized by Congress, and is currently undergoing feasibility studies, Therefore, any re-operation of storage in Pueblo Reservoir must protect the integrity of the delivery capacity from the dam that would supply the conduit. New uses of the south outlet works would have to assure that capacity for the Arkansas Valley Conduit is not compromised. 3.10 Charges and Revenue-Reclamation and the Enterprise will set the charges for firm-storage contracts (allotment contracts) using enlarged space. Charges will include a proportionate share of Project O&M and a share of any incremental increases in O&M due to the enlargement. The Enterprise will be responsible for any O&M costs associated with EWMS; funding for these costs will come from charges on the use of EWMS. The charges for If and When, or sub-leasing, storage in enlarged space shall be comparable to the charges for Project If and When storage. Revenue derived from the allotment contract-holder's subleasing shall go to the allotment contract holder. There will also be a charge for the use of Enterprise Water Management Storage. However, charges for participants in the Winter Water Storage Program that use EWMS will be set at lower rates. Revenues from the use of EWMS will be credited toward the Enterprise's portion of the O&M costs on enlarged storage (EWMS) and then toward the Enterprise's Water Activity Fund. 4.0 Use of Enterprise Water Management Storage The Enterprise Water Management Storage will be a part of enlarged Project facilities andlor within existing non-Project facilities. Each participant in the enlargement project will be obligated to fund the development of storage space equivalent to 115 percent of their individual storage needs. Such additional 15 percent of storage space shall be designated as Enterprise Water Management Storage. The final amount of Enterprise Water Management Space developed will be determined by actual participation in the enlargement project, and the storage developed could be more or less than 7,500 acre-feet. Priorities for the use of Enterprise Water Management Storage will be guided by the following outline: 1. Temporary Storage Contracts for agricultural and municipal/domestic users. (7,500 AF) 1.1. 5,000 acre-feet for improved management of Winter Water. Available as dedicated storage space into which Winter Water spills at Pueblo Reservoir could be stored for later use by direct flow participants of the Winter Water Storage Program.
