provide regulation of the peak runoff volumes for delivery to the Adams Tunnel; (d) The Granby <br />Pumping Plant and Pump Canal, used to deliver water from storage in Granby Reservoir to Shadow <br />Mountain Reservoir, (e) Willow Creek Reservoir and the Willow Creek Pump Canal, used to import <br />additional waters from the adjacent Willow Creek drainage; and (f) Green Mountain Reservoir, <br />constructed on the Blue River for purposes of protecting Western Slope water users from injury as a <br />result of the CBT operations. Each of these facilities will be discussed in more detail in the following <br />documentation. <br />Water from the CBT Project is initially delivered on an allocation basis only to owners of allotment <br />contracts with the NCWCD. A total of 310,000 shares, or units are outstanding. The Board of <br />Directors of the NCWCD annually declares a quota, setting the amount of water to be delivered to <br />each unit. A quota of 100 percent would entitle each unit to delivery of one acre-foot of <br />supplemental water delivered from the project. Similarly, a 50 percent quota would entitle each unit <br />to delivery of 0.5 acre-foot. Historically, the project deliveries have averaged about 230,000 acre- <br />feetper year, representing an average quota of about 75 percent.
