Therefore, up to 6,860 acre-feet of depletion for the NGWSP project <br />comes from existing. baseline depletions associated with Jicarilla Apache Nation water that <br />would he divened to this project and 1,840 acre-feet would be new depletion provided from the <br />remaining balance of their future use water rig.hts not in the environmental baseline. <br /> <br />3.2.2.3 Depletion Guarantee Option to Allow Full Project Development <br /> <br />In as much as full project development cannot be achieved simultaneously with all other projects <br />in the baseline, an approach is needed to allow the project to go forwanl. As noted in Section 32, <br />the unused depletions in the depletion baseline tOlal about 230,000 acre-feet. Also, as discussed <br />in Section 322.2, depletions required for the city of Gallup and the Jicarilla Apache Nation <br />ponions of the project would utilize Jicarilla Apache Nation water, with the flow <br />recommendations being met. Until the unused depletions are actually made, there will be no <br />impact on the ability to meet the flow recommendations from NGWSP. Therefore, it is proposed <br />that the depletions for the Navajo Nation pan ion of the NGWSP be met as outlined in the <br /> <br />BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT <br />NAVAJO GAllUP WATER SUPPLY PROJECT <br />September 3, 2004 <br /> <br />Page 19 <br />
