At that time <br />conservation storage was empty and the reservoir accounts contained 65,254.67 a.f. distributed as <br />follows: 52,063.28 a.f. in agreement accounts and 13,191.39 a.f. in the permanent recreation <br />pool. Adjustment of agreement accounts transferring excess water remaining in the Kansas <br />transit loss account at the end of the '93-'94 Compact year into Kansas and Colorado storage <br />accounts was accomplished on November 1, 1994. Winter storage ended at 2400 hour, March <br />31, 1995. During this period 56,555.46 a.f. was stored. Ofthis amount, 32,014.51 a.f. was <br />stored as conservation storage and 24,540.95 a.f. was stored under the winter storage program in <br />Article III accounts. This water was allocated to various accounts as specified in the Operating <br />Plan adopted by the Compact Administration on April14, 1980. <br /> <br />Transfer from conservation storage into accounts began at 0001 hour, April 1, 1995 at a rate of <br />1,250 cfs. Conservation storage was emptied at 2041 hour, April16, 1995. During the time that <br />transfer was being accomplished, 3,025.60 a.f. was stored under summer conditions. On April <br />22-23 a short period of storage accumulated 2,648.92 a.f. On May 7-9, 1995 another short <br />period of storage collected 3,411.36 a.f. Beginning on May 17, 1995 a prolonged period of <br />storage began. This storage event lasted until the end of the Compact year at 2400 hour on <br />October 31, 1995. From May 17, 1995 through October 31, 1995, a total of 465,642.66 a.f. was <br />stored. This storage caused the reservoir to begin invading the flood pool at 1100 hour on June <br />29, 1995. At that time the Corps of Engineers took control ofthe releases from the reservoir. <br />Release from the flood pool lasted until 0728 hour on August 3, 1995. During this period <br />188,958.16 a.f. was evacuated from the reservoir under controlled releases by the Corps of <br />Engineers. Evaporation was charged only to the flood pool during the time when the flood pool <br />contained water. <br /> <br />Pursuant to the sequence of spill prescribed by the 1980 Operating Plan, as revised December 11, <br />1984, the first water spilled was 1,840.28 a.f. from the permanent recreation pool which was in <br />excess of the 10,000 a.f. allowed to invade the flood pool. Next all Article III accounts were <br />spilled. Then all Article 11 accounts were spilled to the extent of their content as of 1835 hour on <br />July 6, 1995 when the spill of Article 11 accounts began. Finally, 11,022.93 a.f. spilled from the <br />Kansas transit loss account by the end of the spill period. <br /> <br />The only inflow to the permanent recreation pool occurred on June 2-3, 1995 when 131.20 a.f. <br />were stored pursuant to the Compact Administration's resolution of August 14, 1976. <br /> <br />-1- <br />
