<"") ,.') ,:;) .'~ C:, (~..'.;I RECORDS OF DELIVERIES AND RELEASES Schedules of deliveries by Colorado and New Mexico are set forth in Articles III and IV of the Compact. Certain quali- fications and limitations thereto are set forth in Article VI of the Compact. N orIl).al releases from Project Storage are fixed by the Compact at 790,000 acre-feet per year. In February of each year the Commission holds its annual meeting, at which time records of deliveries and releases for the previous calen- dar year are reviewed and adopted as official. The records adopted by the Commission for 1942 are shown on the follow- ing three pages. By virtue of the fact that there was Actual Spill from Project Storage in an amount greater than Credit Water in storage after deducting the aggregate gain in storage between January 1 and April 30, 1942 in all reservoirs above San Marcial constructed after 1929, no debits or credits were computed, On the other hand and by virtue of Actual Spill from Project Storage the departure from normal of releases from Project Storage were not computed. Had Actual Spill not occurred the records showed that New Mexico would have a debit for the year of 13,000 acre- feet and an accrued credit of 36,400 acre-feet, at the end of the year. The record also shows that Colorado would have a credit for the year of 150,000 acre-feet by limitation in Article VI of the Compact and an accrued credit of 277,000 acre-feet at the end of the year.
