Upon <br />discovery of the effect ofthis measurement error the entire quantity stored in Pueblo Reservoir as <br />East Slope Project water during the period April 27, 1998 through May 3, 1998 was released to <br />John Martin Reservoir conservation storage during the period of June 5, 1998 through June 8, <br />1998. <br /> <br />N <br /> <br />:. .j <br />~ <br />..r;:. <br /> <br />A summary of Offset account activities may be found in the report of the Colorado State Engineer <br />concerning accounting of the Operations of the Offset Account in John Martin Reservoir for <br />Colorado Pumping-1998, submitted to the Operations Committee under separate cover. <br /> <br />A total of 14,840.8 a.f. was stored in Article III accounts this year. The transfer of water into the <br />Transit Loss account was performed pursuant to Article III D. Transfers were first used to fill the <br />Transit Loss account to the amount of 1700 a.f. Thereafter all such water was transferred to <br />Colorado and Kansas accounts at a ratio of29/35 to Colorado and 11/35 to Kansas. A balance of <br />1635.10 a.f. was carried forward in the Transit Loss account to the 1998-99 compact year. <br /> <br />Storage in the amount of 1604.21 a.f. was delivered to the City of Lamar account in July 1998 <br />with the concurrence of the Compact Administration. This water was totally released by October <br />5,1998. <br /> <br />As previously stated, the first exhaustion of conservation storage occurred at 0712 hr. on <br />September 5, 1998. Since April I, 1998 an additionaI154,236.98 a.f. was accumulated as <br />conservation storage. <br /> <br />During the Summer Storage season two additional conservation storage events occurred. From <br />October 2-4, 1998,4487.56 a.f. was stored and during the 12 hour period after 1200 hI'S. on <br />October 31, 1998,693.25 a.f. were stored prior to the end ofthe compact year. A total of <br />374,457.91 a.f. was stored as conservation storage during the 1998 compact year. Water stored in <br />conservation storage, less evaporation, was all transferred to accounts at rates specified in the <br />Operating Plan. <br /> <br />At the close of the compact year, the reservoir accounts contained 242,531.00 a.f. This is <br />53,557.00 a.f. less than on the same date last year. <br /> <br />A . // <br />~ t.~J t//~ <br /> <br />Steven J.
