<br />GOU706 <br /> <br />West Slope Comments <br /> <br />CFOPS operations will not injure junior water users, (eog. If Green Mountain Reservoir makes a <br />fish release and uses its refill right to refill the space created, use of the refill right will not cause <br />the curtailment of storage in Wolford Mountain Reservoir, in favor of the Green Mountain <br />Reservoir refill right, to satisfy a Shoshone (or other downstream) call.) <br /> <br />Recommendations included by the River District in this section will be taken into consideration <br />during the drafting of the CFOPS Executive Committee Recommendation, to be submitted to the <br />Water Acquisition Committee. <br /> <br />The Executive Committee should make a decision on whether or not CFOPS is a voluntary <br />program, and whether or not it supersedes CRGS. <br /> <br />Comments on the January 2003 DRAFT Report <br /> <br />The DRAFT report suffers a need for significant revision as it is the record of the process and the <br />alternatives considered. The implied precision in the portrayal of hydrology related to dem~nds <br />and facility operations may over estimate facility flexibility and the potential augmentation <br />opportunities. Further modeling with the available tools does not seem warranted. The results <br />presented suggest ranges.ofpotential which should be considered in the implemention of the <br />recommendations above. Revisions are necessary to avoid portrayal of potential which does not <br />really exist. <br /> <br />Phase 2 report, technical memoranda (appendices) and Phase 1 Report in total are meant to <br />provide the record of the process and alternatives considered. What further documentation is <br />needed? What is meant by "revisions are necessary to avoid portrayal of potential which does <br />not really exist"? <br /> <br />We understand the potentially viable options to be: <br /> <br />Release of20,000 acre feet from Green Mountain Reservoir (GMR) to be replaced under an <br />existing refill right. <br /> <br />Release of 20,000 acre feet from Granby Reservoir (GR/CBT) to refill when hydrology permits <br /> <br />"Share the Pain" consisting of: <br /> <br />1) 6,667 acre feet from each ofGR/CBT, GMR and Williams Fork Reservoir (WFR) <br /> <br />2) or, proportional deliveries from GMR, GRlCBT, Ruedi, WFR and Wolford Mountain <br />.
