The reservoir is intended to provide supplemental industrial, agricultural, <br />and municipal water supplies, as well as a significantly sized conservation pool for recreational <br />purposes. According to an elevation capacity table obtained from the UYWCD, the total capacity of <br />the reservoir at the spillway elevation is approximately 33,275 acre -feet and the capacity at the invert <br />of the outlet works (dead storage) is approximately 3,275 acre -feet, resulting in an active capacity of <br />approximately 30,000 acre -feet. <br />The UYWCD originally allocated a total of 15,000 acre -feet of storage water in Stagecoach Reservoir <br />for sale annually as follows: municipal users - 2,000 acre -feet, industrial users (Tri- State) - 9,000 <br />acre -feet, and agricultural users - 4,000 acre -feet. The historic conditions were developed pursuant to <br />two agreements between the UYWCD and Tri- State. The parties agreed to exchange the 4,000 acre - <br />feet of water to which Tri-State is entitled in Yamcolo Reservoir to a Tri-State account in Stagecoach. <br />Similarly, there is an exchange of 4,000 acre -feet of agricultural water in Stagecoach upstream to <br />storage in Yamcolo Reservoir. Pursuant to these agreements, Tri-State also reduced its original <br />Operating Criteria File 4 -25 <br />
