uOJGCj6 Burec A2 Comments 5) Section 1.3.1, page 11, third bulleted paragraph, 3rd line: Suggest the first sentences of the paragraph be changed as follows: "An additional 1 0,825 acre-feet per year from Ruedi Reservoir delivered to the IS-Mile Reach under the terms of a short and/or long term lease(s) through the year 2012. In the past, Reclamation had provided 21,650 acre-feet of water annually from the unsold regulatory capacity as referred to in the Ruedi Reservoir Round II Water Sales Amended Biological Opinion (January 6, 1999). This 21,650 acre-feet annual commitment, contained in the Ruedi Reservoir Biological Opinion, will be replaced by the long term lease of 10,825 acre-feet from Ruedi Reservoir and a . . . "Noted - correction will be made. 6) Section 1.3.1, page 12, numbered paragraph 2, the following sentences should be changed as follows, "In order to work within the confines of State of Colorado water law a municipal .recreation contract with the City of Grand Junction, City of Fruita and Town of Palisade has been entered into.". and "This contract would protect releases of surplus water from the Green Mountain HUP in excess of the capacity of the Orchard Mesa Power Plant to and through the 15- Mile Reach for municipal recreational purposes." Noted - correction will be made. 7) Section 1.3.2, page 12, last sentence: Should be changed as follows: "No CROP activities were conducted in 2000 and 2001 due to low snow pack and concerns about reservoir storage, although a peak in the range of 13,500cfs did occur in 2000 because of rapid snow melt." Noted - correction will be made. 8) Section 2.3.2, Page 18, first paragraph, last sentence: Use of the term "replacement" here confuses the purpose of the 52 kaf CBT replacement pool and the 100 kaf compensatory pool of which the HUP is parto This sentence should be replaced with the following: "HUP surplus is that water which is determined to be in excess of the HUP beneficiaries needs and can be released for authorized purposes. The determination is an ongoing process during the irrigation season and surpluses are typically not available or released until late summer." Noted- correction will be made. 9) Section 2.3.2.2, page 18, second bulleted paragraph: should read ". . 0 water in storage on April 1 st of each year is credited to the CBT replacement pool and any remaining water is credited to the sub-pools of the 100,000 acre-foot power pool in order of priority; the Silt pool, the HUP and the Contract pool." I trust the modeling was conducted this way. Noted- correction will be made. I 10) Section 2.3.2.2, page 18, Third bulleted paragraph: The initial implication is that no reservoir refill rights were in the original C 1 data set. Then mention is made of inserting the correct priority number for the Ruedi refill right. Were correct priorities of Green Mountain and any other reservoirs' refill rights also inserted and if so, it should be noted. Only Ruedi refill was wrong - correction will be made. 11) Section 2.3.6, page 21, change the last sentence as follows, "The Service's priority is to increase spring peak flows when the peak runoff is expected to be in the range of 12,900 to 26,600 cfs at the head of the IS-Mile Reach or approximately 15,000 to 29,000 cfs at the Cameo Gage..o". Noted - correction will be made. P:\Data\GEN\CWCB\19665\Report Phase 2\Technical Memorandum No. 12\Appendix B.doc 4
