I':) ,- ( :) N QO ClO ~ " . . 2-2 In simulating the operation of the reservoir, the operation wiLL be simuLated In accordance wiLh Lho arLicles of Lho Arkansas River Compact AdminlstraLlon and the operating criteria adopted by said Administration. The contents of the conservation pool for the reservoir will then be determined for any ith day by the foLlowIng relatIon 3 5i = 51-1 + Ii- Ri (3) Where S i = simulated storage on the day in quest ion 5i_l= simuiated storage on the previous day. Ii = inflow determined by eq. 1 using historical data Ri = releases on the day in question. . The releases, Ri, are determined according to the following criteria. 1. During the period Nov. 1 to Mar. 31 all inflows will be stored. Releases from the conservation pool will not occur unless required for flood control purposes. (See #5 below). 2. Releases from the conservation pool during the period Apr. 1 to Oct. 31 will be as follows: a) If Si > 20000 af, Ri = 1250 cfs (2500 af/da) b) If Si < 20000 af, Ri = 1000 cfs (2000 af/da) 3. All water entering the reservoir during the period Apr. 1 to Oct. 31 will be added to the conservation stora~e while the conservation pool is in residence; otherwise all measured inflows exceeding the irrigation requirement of irrigators in Dist 67 by 1000 ac-ft per day will be stored thus beginning conservation storage. Releases from conservation storage at the specified rates wiil begin at the first request for a release SA SF after March 31 or beginning at 8:00 a.m. on AprIL 7, whichever occurs first. After conservation storage is initiaily emptied, releases of water subsequently stored will begin at the first request for release or 48 hours after commencement of conservation storage, whichever occurs first. 4. At such times as the conservation pooL is evacuated, the natural rIver fiow wiii be released subject to the conditIons in crIteria 3 above. 5. At such times as the conservation pool encroaches on the fiood control space subject to the conditions In criteria 3 above, and as stated in criteria 1 above, water wiil be released as required for fiood control purposes. These are, in effect, the operating criteria for 30hn Martin ReservoIr. For all practical Intents and purposes, these are the operating principles.
