The purpose of this report is to describe a <br /> <br />plan which could provide 130 acre-feet of water for storage <br /> <br />and make-up of evaporation losses in Bear Creek Reservoir. <br /> <br />The stored water would be released by the Evergreen <br /> <br />Metropolitan District to supply senior water rights in <br /> <br />exchange for out-of-priority diversions at the Evergreen <br /> <br />water supply intake located on Evergreen Lake. <br /> <br />This plan is intended as an element of an overall plan <br /> <br />to provide storage in Bear Creek Reservoir for four enti- <br /> <br />ties, Evergreen Metropolitan District, the Genesee <br /> <br />Development, the Town of Morrison, and the Town of Indian <br /> <br />Hills. For the purposes of this plan, the following storage <br /> <br />allocations were assumed for the indicated entities: <br /> <br />Storage <br />Allocation in <br />Acre-Feet <br /> <br />Percent of <br />the Total <br /> <br />Evergreen Metro <br />Genesee Development <br />Morrison <br />Indian Hills <br />TOTAL <br /> <br />130 acre-feet <br />100 acre-feet <br />50 acre-feet <br />25 acre-feet <br />305 acre-feet <br /> <br />43 <br />33 <br />16 <br />8 <br />IOO <br /> <br />Estimated Evaporation Requirements. Average annual net <br />lake evaporation at Bear Creek Reservoir was estimated util- <br /> <br />izing Cherry Creek Reservoir pan evaporation data for the <br /> <br />1959-1978 period and precipitation data for the Lakewood and <br /> <br />-1- <br /> <br />.... <br />
