N N <br />users on the West Slope. Any reduction of the late-summer Shoshone demand, if <br />made up by Green Mountain Reservoir releases, would mean that Denver (and perhaps <br />other transmountain diverters) would be getting the use of Green Mountain <br />Reservoir for replacement. If Green Mountain Reservoir releases are reduced to <br />avoid providing such replacement, then the burden of fulfilling the Cameo demand <br />shifts more heavily to the Roaring Fork drainage. <br />In addition to its impacts on water supplies formerly available to Junior <br />rights, the subordination agreement between Denver and Public Service Company is <br />expected to diminish the supplies of water available for maintaining in-stream <br />flows. This issue is especially important for the proposed Endangered Species <br />Recovery Plan, the burden for which is to be shared by many of the Colorado River <br />Basin's water users. Although the subordination agreement states that no water <br />rights will be injured, Denver has not made it clear whether this applies to <br />in-stream flow appropriations by the Colorado Water Conservation Board or to <br />agreements reached in implementing the proposed Endangered Species Recovery Plan. <br />CRWCD 11/21/86 <br />7
