Rule Section: S 414.2 Definition of "Storage Credit" <br /> <br />Comment: As explained above, use ofthe term "Storage Credit" lacks clarity and is ambiguous. The <br />A WBA recommends the term and definition be deleted from the proposed rule. <br /> <br />Proposed <br /> <br />Amendment: Sterag8 Credit refers to an accounting device to reflect a quantity of Colorado River <br />water that is stored off stream'. <br /> <br />* * * <br /> <br />... Rule Section: S 414.2 Definition of "Storing State" <br /> <br />Comment: The definition does not tie water storage to interstate transactions contemplated by the <br />proposed rule. Therefore, any state in which Colorado River water is stored off stream meets the <br />definition of this term. The proposed rule should be amended to more specifically define a Storing <br />State as one participating in an interstate transaction under the proposed rule. <br /> <br />Proposed <br /> <br />Amendment: Storing State means a Lower Division State in which water is stored off the <br />mainstream FOR FUTURE USE IN THAT STATE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN INTERSTATE <br />STORAGE AGREEMENT, IN PLACE OF WATER WITHIN THE STORING STATE'S <br />APPORTIONMENT THAT THE STORING STATE WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE DIVERTED <br />FROM THE MAINSTREAM. <br /> <br />* * * <br /> <br />...
