C-ll (Yj .-l l!? ~ planning as based upon available supplies and water users are entitled to C:::F c~ know how the administration of such waters is to be made. Water users must by necessity be able to rely upon certain projected deliveries in order to adjust their crops needs accordingly and cannot blindly plant without knowing with reasonable certainty that a harvest is expected. The Proposed Rules and Regulations give no such assurance. The Rules and Regulations must, therefore, be remanded to the State Engineer for the purpose of separating the Rules and Regulations into separate bodies of rules and regulations lawfully adopted pursuant to and in conformance with the authority of the two different statutes as afore- mentioned. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the Rules and Regulations as tendered for approval are remanded to the State Engineer for the purpose of separating the Rules and Regulations into separate bodies of rules and regulations as previously mentioned. The Court does not by this opinion infer that rules and regulations need be adopted for purposes of compact compliance but is only saying that if such are so adopted then such regulations should be separate from the rules and regulations as authorized under the provisions of C.R.S. 1973, 37-92-501 and 502 and should be in con- formity with the statute so authorizing the same. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Rules and Regulations in their present form and content are disapproved and such shall not become effective until proper and lawful rules and regulations have been adopted in conformance with the applicable statutes and approved by this Court. DONE AND SIGNED in open Court this 23rd day of June A.D., 1976. BY THE COURT Donald G. Smith, Water Judge Hater Division 3
