New Mexico. NMISC does not, at this time, support interstate leasing or marketing of
water. To meet this request, Colorado Ute Tribes' depletions in New Mexico were moved to
Colorado. This was done by moving the diversion point of the gas-fired power plant and
the regional water supply for Farmington, Kirtland, and Aztec to Ridges Basin Reservoir.
According to the model, the return flows of the Gas-Fired Power Plant will return to the
mouth of the La Plata River and return flows of the Regional Water Supply will return to
the Animas River below Basin Creek. The overall configuration of the model before
modifications to ALP is shown in Figure 1. The configuration for the ALP Project modified
for Colorado Ute Tribes and New Mexico depletions is included in Figure 2.

The model was applied by using the basic recommended Navajo Reservoir operating rules
from the San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program (SJRBRIP) Flow
Recommendation Report (Holden 1999), as modified for the ALP Project Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) (Reclamation, 2000).
