Eric Kuhn: PRESENT A TION ON COMPACT DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL <br /> <br />This presentation was made initially to the Gunnison Basin Roundtable. <br /> <br />- Colorado has not used all of its 3 million acre- feet allotment from the Colorado River <br />Compact. <br /> <br />500,000 acre feet are still available <br />- 200.000 that are spoken for by existing projects like Animas LaP1ata <br />300,000 acre-feet are left <br /> <br />Question from the Yampa Basin: Does all of this surplus water go to the Front Range? <br /> <br />May 18: As part of an Intra-State Compact, should a certain amount of water be reserved <br />in each basin? <br /> <br />The Lower Basin's right to 7.5 million acre feet (MAF) is unlikely to change. Colorado and <br />the three other Upper Basin states are likely to get whatever is left after the Lower Basin <br />states receive their 7.5 MAF. <br /> <br />A 1987 Hydrologic Detelmination from the Bureau of RecIamation came up with the <br />expected flow in the Colorado River and determined that Colorado has 500,000 acre-feet <br />left. All seven states objected to it, but that's the consensus of what is left for Colorado. <br /> <br />L\CWCB Imaging\Caleb\Minutes\Colorado\2006\Colorado Feb 27 06 minutes. doc <br /> <br />2 <br />
