In computing the magnitude of <br />accrued credits or debits, New Mexico shall not be charged <br />with any greater debit in anyone year than the sum of <br />ISQ,OQQ acre-feet and all gains in the quantity of water in <br />storage in such year, <br /> <br />The Commission by unanimous action may authorize the <br />release from storage of any amount of water which is then <br />being held in storage by reason of accrued debits of <br />Colorado or New Mexico; provided, that such water shall be <br />replaced at the first opportunity thereafter. <br /> <br />In computing the amount of accrued credits and accrued <br />debits of Colorado or New Mexico, any annual credits in <br />excess of lSO,QQO acre feet shall be taken as equal to that <br />amount, <br /> <br />In any year in which actual spill occurs, the accrued <br />credits of Colorado, or New Mexico, or both, at the begin-. <br />ning of the year shall be reduced in proportion to their <br />respective credits by the amount of such actual spill; <br />provided, that the amount of actual spill shall be deemed <br />to be increased by the aggregate gain in the amount of water <br />in storage, prior to the time of spill, in reservoirs above <br />San Marcial constructed after 1929; provided, further, that <br />if the Commissioners for the States having accrued credits <br />authorize the release of part, or all, of such credits in <br />advance of spill, the amount so released shall be deemed to <br />constitute actual spill. <br /> <br />In any year in which there is actual spill of usable <br />water, or at the time of hypothetical spill thereof, all <br />accrued debits of Colorado, or New Mexico, or both, at the <br />beginning of the year shall be cancelled. <br /> <br />In any year in which the aggregate of accrued debits <br />of Colorado and New Mexico exceeds the minimum unfilled <br />capacity of project storage, such debits shall be reduced <br />proportionally to an aggregate amount equal to such minimum <br />unfilled capacity, <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />
