<br /> <br /><:,) <br />o <br />w <br />~ <br />~ <br />w <br /> <br />remained constant until all account releases were concluded on July 4, 2002. This fact allows the <br />reasonable assumption !hat the conveyance response of the river was the same following the <br />conclusion of the release on July 4, 2002 as if the Section II release had ended on !hat date. <br />Therefore, one may still evaluate the delivery over a 7 day period in order to allow for !he arrival <br />of the receding release wave following the end of the actual Section II release simply by <br />extracting the Offset Account affected period of Stateline flow from the record. In order to do <br />this I have used a period of two days for both the initial arrival of water released from Kansas <br />accounts and for the initial arrival of the flfst water released from the Offset Account. I also <br />assigned full credit for delivery of all Offset Account released on July 4, 2002. Please refer to the <br />enclosed Transit Loss Worksheet to review how I determined that a transit loss of 676 a.f. <br />occurred lI$ a consequence of Kansas' call for delivery of its Section II account water beginning <br />on June 17,2002. <br /> <br />I have directed !hat this deficit shall be made up from the transfers of water !hat occurred on <br />March 15, 2003, under Section ill D of the Resolution, even though Kansas continued calling for <br />releases of water despite an advisory provided pursuant to Section II E (5) of the Resolution, on <br />June 24, 2002. ' <br /> <br />Finally, I dispute the assertion !hat an agreement has been reached concerning ,the disposition of <br />any water !hat may be provided to make up for delivery deficits, Neither the Administration nor <br />the Operations Committee has taken any action to amend or interpret the Resolution in a mauner <br />conforming to your position, Therefore, the Operations Secretary's accounting shows !hat a <br />transfer of 676 a.f. was made to the transit loss account in addition to the usual 1700 a.f., <br />consistent with my understanding of Section ill D of the Resolution. <br /> <br />Should you have any questions, please feel free to call this office, <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~/fLjtJJJL <br /> <br />Steven J, Witte <br />Operations Secretary <br />Arkansas River Compact Administration <br /> <br />Enclosures -3 <br /> <br />Cc: Hal Simpson <br />David Pope <br />
