Water District 34 -
Aggrellated
Total M&I

6,340 AF
3,828 AF
1,223 AF
2,688 AF
14,079 AF

Again, Water District 32 uses are satisfied by imports from the Dolores
River. A significant portion of the aggregated M&I consumptive uses occur in
the Pagosa Springs area.

Evaporation Consumptive Use

Evaporation consumptive uses are based on maximum values identified in
our current version of ST A TEMOD:

Transmountain Diversions

The Baseline values for the transmountain diversions are as follows:

Water District 29 - Treasure Pass Ditch - Histork Maximum 720 af
Water District 31 - Weminuche Pass Ditch- Historic Maximum 3,150 af
Water District 31 - Pine River\ Weminuche Ditch - Historic Maximum
971 af
Water District 78 - Don Lafont Ditches #1 & #2 - Historic Maximum 754
af
Water District 78 - Williams Creek\Squaw Pass D, - Historic Maximum
530 AF

Animas-La Plata Proiect

The consumptive uses for the Animas-La Plata Project to be used in the
baseline are described as follows:

Phase I. Sta!!e A Phase I. Sta!!e B Phase II Total
Colorado 34,600 42,380 36,330' 113,310
New Mexico 19,200 6,270 3,840 29,310
Reservoir Evao. 3.300 0 3.300 6.600
Totals 57,]00 48,650 43,470 149,220

. Of this amount, 22,850 af is to be available from Ridges Basin Reservoir at the completion of
Phase I. This makes Colorado's total depletion allowable under Phase I 128,600 af.

Under the "ALP Lite" alternative the 57,100 af of consumptive uses
allowed under the current biological opinion and section 7 consultation would be
allocated as follows:
