<br />1 The State of New Mexico does not necessarily agree with the depletions shown in terms of constituting evidence of actual water use, water
<br />rights, or water availability under the Compact. The SJRBRIP Hydrology Committee uses a hydrology model disclaimer that reads in part, "The
<br />model data methodologies and assumptions do not under any circumstances constitute evidence of actual water use, water rights, or water
<br />availability under Compact apportionments and should not be Construed.as binding on any party."
<br />· The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (NMISC) and the San Juan Water Commission (SJWC) believe there are inconsistencies in
<br />depletion calculations (communications from NMISC and SJWC dated April 1 and March 21, 2002, respectively).
<br />3 It should be noted that full development of State compact water and Indian trust water is not included in this table. Only existing projects
<br />and projects with Endangered Species Act and NEPA compliance are included in the depletion table.
<br />'Includes 10,600 acre-feet per year of annual groundwater storage. At equilibrium, the No Action Altemative drops to
<br />133,000 acre-feet per year and the action altematives drop to 270,000 acre-feet per year.
<br />S Accounts for 16,420 acre-feet per year transferred from Hogback, including the Hogback Extension, and Fruitland Projects to NIIP.
<br />6 Indicates offstream depletion accounted for in calculated natural gains. The combined figures for the New Mexico portion include
<br />2,185 acre-feet of historic and existing uses of Jicarilla Apache settlement water rights for scattered off-stream depletions on the reservation.
<br />7 The Jicarilla Apache Nation recognizes this historic depletion as 2,195 acre-feet, but it was modeled as 2.190 acre-feet on average.
<br />S Water contract with the Jicarilla ApaChe Nation for long-term depletions for the San Juan Generating Station.
<br />· 1,500 acre-feet per year of depletion from minor depletions approved by SJRBRIP in 1992.
<br />10 Includes an additional 3,000 acre-feet per year of depletion from 1999 Intra-Service consultation, a portion of which may be in Colorado.
<br />This amount includes no acre-feet of water subcontracted by the Jicarilla Apache Nation to "minor contractors" below Navajo Dam.
<br />11 Jicarilla Apache Nation Navajo River Water Supply Project Biological Opinion lists this depletion as 6.654 acre-feet, but model
<br />configuration shows 6,570 acre-feet on average. The model configuration is shown.
<br />" Includes the Red Mesa Reservoir Enlargement depletion in the amount of 997 acre-feet.
<br />13 Long Hollow Reservoir Project Biological Opinion lists this depletion as 1,535 acre-feet. Model configuration shows this as 1,339 acre-feet
<br />for Long Hollow Reservoir Project and an additional 198 acre-feet is included in the La Plata category.
<br />" 1,705 acre-feet per year San Juan River depletion, 7.435 acre-feet per year offstream depletion.
