<br />Hammond Project-In 1987, the Hammond Project delivered 14,850 acre-feet of <br />water to irrigate 2,972 acres of farmland at an average of 5.0 acre-feet per acre. The <br />project depletes 10,000 acre-feet per year if all of the project lands (3,930 acres) are <br />fully irrigated. Project depletions for 1990 and beyond were projected to be <br />10,000 acre-feet per year. <br /> <br />Hogback Extension-Minor increases in depletions are expected to have occurred in <br />the Hogback extension. Studies are underway by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the <br />Navajo Tribe to determine additional water requirements in this area. <br /> <br />Jicarilla Apache Indian Uses-This depletion is based upon preliminary results of <br />planning studies. Results to date indicate that about 3,000 acre-feet could be depleted <br />under present proposals. Studies are continuing to develop plans for additional <br />depletions, but no more feasible uses have developed. In a letter of July 9, 1976, to <br />Mr. S.E. Reynolds, Secretary, New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission, the <br />Secretary of the Interior indicated that there may be 26,000 acre-feet available <br />annually for use on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation, but such an amount <br />cannot be guaranteed unconditionally. This water would have to be contracted. Such <br />a contract would require certification by the Secretary of the Interior as to the <br />availability of such supplies and receive subsequent approval by the Congress. Also, <br />shortages may develop induced by a Lee Ferry call. The July 9, 1976, letter also <br />proposed the necessary engineering, environmental, and economic feasibility studies. <br />Thus, a 3,000-acre-foot development is estimated to take place within 20 years, with <br />any remaining amounts dependent upon results of continued feasibility studies. By <br />letter dated July 10, 1985, the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission <br />recommended to the Secretary of the Interior that a contract be awarded to the <br />Jicarilla Apache Tribe in the amount of 3,000 acre-feet per year to the year 2025. <br /> <br />Utah International, Inc. (Private Right)-The primary use under this right is the <br />sale of water to the Arizona Public Service Company for the five units of the Four <br />Corners Powerplant. This right also includes the transfer of up to 8,000 acre-feet to <br />the San Juan Powerplant. <br /> <br />Navajo Reservoir Contracts <br /> <br />Public Service Company of New Mexico-This contract provides water deliveries <br />from Navajo Reservoir for use at the San Juan Powerplant. All four generating units <br />are in operation. Water use is about 24,000 acre-feet a year. The contract provides <br />for delivery of 16,200 acre-feet. The remaining water used at the plant is purchased <br />from the private right of Utah International, Inc. Thus, a value of 16,000 acre-feet <br />was used for the Public Service Company of New Mexico and an additional value of <br />8,000 acre-feet has been included in the total for Utah International, Inc. (private <br />right). The contract for water delivery from Navajo Reservoir terminates <br />December 31, 2005. By letter dated July 10, 1985, the New Mexico Interstate Stream <br />Commission recommended to the Secretary of the Interior that the existing contract <br />with the Public Service Company of New Mexico be extended to the year 2025. <br /> <br />Utah International, Inc.-Utah International, Inc., will furnish water to potential <br />customers for industrial uses in the area. At present, the contract for water delivery <br /> <br />28 <br />
