If individual <br />water rights need to be taken for the endangered species recovery program, it should be <br />done under the Colorado Doctrine of Prior Appropriations, meaning the water right at <br />Shoshone is last in line, not first." <br /> <br />Ground rules for CFOPS study stated that all alternatives would be considered for the feasibility <br />study 0 This alternative has been found to be a feasible source for the 20,000 acre-feet release <br />based on engineering analysis, and so has been included in this report. <br /> <br />Chapter 1 - Introduction and Purpose <br /> <br />Please remove all reference to Shoshone Power Plant call reduction per Xcel as noted above. <br /> <br />Executive Committee should make the call. <br /> <br />Ref. pgo 9 Section 1.2 para 3 The quotation from the 15 Mile Reach PBO is taken out of context <br />and without the references to the USFWS objective of providing additional peak flow <br />enhancement in only those years in which the current CRGS activity is undertaken and the <br />triggers at the Palisade gage are realized. This report suggests throughout that the provision of <br />20,000 acre feet is to be made on the average of all years (e.g. average annual) not just the <br />triggered years. See nos. 1, 2, 3 on page 2 and the first full paragraph of page 22 , also page 30 <br />Section 3.2.1 bullets 1,2 and 3. for correct portrayal ofthe objectives of CFOPS. Please <br />correct at all occurrences. Please verify that the analyses were not undertaken to achieve an <br />average annual delivery of 20,000 acre feet as the triggers were only realized in 6 of the 17 <br />modeled years. Thank you, Noted - correction will be made. <br /> <br />Ref. pg. 11, para 2 The additional 5,000 acre feet 4 out of 5 years can be delivered either from <br />Ruedi or GMR.
