UPPER COLORADO RNER COMPACT (cont.) <br />4. If a call should be placed at Lee Ferry by the Lower Basin, the extent of curtailment by each <br />state of the Upper Basin shall be determined by the following: <br />a. The extent and times of curtailment shall assure full compliance with Article III <br />of the Colorado River Compact. (Art. III) <br />b. lf any state shall have in the ten-year period preceding the call exceeded its <br />allocation, it shall make up that overdraft before demand is placed on any other <br />state. (Art.IV) <br />c. Curtailment shall be proportioned among the states in the same ratio as <br />beneficial use of waters occurred during the preceding year, provided that use by <br />rights which predate November 24, 1922, shall be excluded. (Art. IV) <br />5. The Compact recognizes the provisions of the La Plata River Compact, and consumptive use <br />of water under it shall be charged to the respective states under Article III of this Compact. <br />(Art. X) <br />6. Apportions the waters of the Little Snake River between Colorado and Wyoming <br />differentially between rights perfected before the Compact and those perfected after its <br />signing. (Art. XI) <br />7. Apportions the waters of Henry's Fork, a tributary of the Green River between Utah and <br />Wyoming. (Art. XII) <br />8. Apportions the waters of the Yampa River between Colarado and Utah such that Colorado <br />must ensure that the flow of the Yampa at Maybell must not fall below 5,000,000 acre-feet <br />for any consecutive 10-year period. (Art. XIII) <br />9. Apportions the waters of the San Juan River system between Colorado and New Mexico in <br />such a way that Colorado agrees to deliver in the 5an Juan and its tributaries enough water to <br />meet New Mexico's entitlement under Article III considering the water which originates <br />within New Mexico proper. (Art. XIV) <br />13 <br />
