<br />. operations (see the Pinal Biological Opinion for Navajo Reservoir operations dated September 30, <br />2005). The baseline depletions and return flows used in that consultation, and included in the San <br />Juan River Basin hydrology model for the consultation purpose of evaluating impacts of reservoir <br />operations on San Juan River flows within the critical habitat reaches, are shown in Appendix A. <br />The depletions for some projects shown in Appendix A are not present depletions, but depletions <br />that could result in the future upon full project development and full authorized use. The modeled <br />baseline depletions have been derived or otherwise incorporated by federal action agencies in <br />previous section 7 consultations on water projects, and are not necessarily concurred with by the <br />Program participants. I Inclusion of the depletion quantities in Appendix A in this Program <br />Document shall not be construed as agreement of the Program participants to these quantities. The <br />depletion table in Appendix A is subject to review and modification as new information is <br />developed and the San Juan River Basin Hydrology Model is refined. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I The Program in 2003 adopted the following model disclaimer: "While every effort will be made to incorporate the <br />best data and modeling available into the San Juan Basin Model, use of the hydrologic model in the work of this <br />Committee and this Implementation Program does not necessarily constitute agreement or approval by individual <br />program participants with the model data, methodologies or assumptions. The model data, methodologies and <br />assumptions do not under any circumstances constitute evidence of actual water use, water rights or water availability <br />under compact apportionments and should not be construed as binding on any party. Furthermore, use of the model, <br />model data, methodologies and assumptions does not change the responsibilities of the respective states to maintain <br />records of water rights and water use. Official records of water rights and water use are maintained by the State <br />agencies statutorily charged with that responsibility." <br /> <br />7 <br />
