01-26-95 Modified return flows from "excess demand" from Bostwick Park demand (8 7 <br />? <br />percent of Cimarron Canal diversions) dur ing the month of October, assuming 10 0 <br />percent infiltration and returns to the Uncompahgre River. <br />Modified the operation of the Smith Fork F eeder Canal to function as a direct flow <br />? <br />right diverting water to storage in Crawfo rd Reservoir, which is not subject to th e <br />one-fill per year rule. The diversion is still limited only to periods when there i s <br />available space in Crawford Reservoir. Th e single fill rule is now tied to the Iro n <br />Creek inflow link. <br />Added a dead pool account to Ridgway Re servoir. This is tied to the minpoo l <br />? <br />demand. Since this demand is set to zero, water will not be released from the dea d <br />pool. However, water can be brought into the dead pool to allow for replacemen t <br />of pro rata evaporation loss. <br />Added links to provide for a limited refill of Ridgway Reservoir, constrained onl y <br />? <br />to the months of May and June. This change was to override the tendency of th e <br />reservoir to lose water after it had ach ieved its "paper" one time fill during th e <br />winter months. <br />Changed UVWUA account in Ridgway from 11,200 to 10,300 ac re-feet. Since it i s <br />? <br />currently unallocated, the 900 acre-feet in the Dallas account has been temporaril y <br />connected to the minpool demand, which has a zero demand. <br />Changed the total contents of Ridgway a nd Paonia reservoirs to account for all o f <br />? <br />the sub-accounts (ownerships), including th e dead and inactive pools. Added a new <br />sub-account in Paonia Reservoir for deliv ery of 1,500 acre-feet to the river fo r <br />endangered species mitigation. It is assume d that this water will be released durin g <br />June of each year. <br />Changed allocation of 2,000 acre-feet in Paonia Reservoir for the Ragged Mountai n <br />? <br />Water Users, prorated based on acreag e irrigated under the East Muddy and Wes t <br />Muddy ditches (from GUNMOD). <br />Filled in missing data in the Gunnison Town demand. <br />? <br />Incorporated headgate nodes for each of the Uncompahgre Project canals that ar e <br />? <br />linked to receive return flows from upstream structures. If the return flow is no t <br />needed to satisfy the demand, it moves through a link from the headgate deman d <br />back to the river. This eliminates the n eed for the "sink" formerly included in th e <br />UVWUA constructs. <br />Added a storage link fr om Blue Mesa Reservoir to the Ironstone Ditch. As a resul t, <br />? <br />approximately 66 percent of the demand in the UVWUA has access to storage i n <br />Blue Mesa and Ridgway reservoirs. <br />Incorporated higher negative costs for th e storage links from Blue Mesa Reservoi r <br />? <br />to the Uncompahgre project canals to ensure that Blue Mesa storage was no t <br />4 <br />A275 02.23.94 1.15-27 Fosha, Ritsch <br />
