C. Copies of the SNOTEL suspension criteria neaps hosted on the website of the Natural <br /> Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Snow Survey Program website for every day <br /> during times that operations are suspended. <br /> D. Copies of entails and reports generated by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center <br /> (CAIQ and ether sources for every day that operations are suspended. <br /> 17.The Permit Holder may request in writing an additional period of operation prior to November <br /> I' or past March 31" of each season provided that State suspension criteria have not been <br /> exceeded and the Project Sponsors and Parties have agreed to fund such activities. <br /> 18. Annual reports are due to the+CWCB and all Project Sponsors by June 30th of each year for the <br /> preceding winters operations. The annual report is subject to change and the CWCB and the <br /> Project Sponsors may request additional data and Analysis. <br /> 19.The Permit Holder shall suspend seeding operations if-. <br /> A. Snow w water Ngivalent SWE) dumbQlds, are exceeded. Snowpack <br /> suspension criteria are required by the State. These values are bused on research <br /> program results on impacts to the environment. Keeping snowpack ."WE values <br /> within these numbers keeps snowpack within the natural variability of the local <br /> climate. These criteria are similar in all western states. The Permit Holder shall <br /> suspend seeding operations it at any time the average of the snowpack SWE, at <br /> SNOrrEL sites in and near the target area,exceeds the thirty year average derined by <br /> the following points. <br /> L 175%of average,on Member 1 <br /> ii. 175%of average on January l" <br /> iii. l 601%of average o n.February l" <br /> iv. 15 of average on March 1 <br /> v 140%of average on April la <br /> The U.S. Department of Agriculture—Natural Resources Conservation Service - Snow <br /> Survey Program (MRCS) operates a network of l l 1 SN(YrEL sites in Colorado. The <br /> MRCS reaps the States snowpack suspension criteria for all SNOTEL sites on a daily <br /> File Transfer protocol (FTP) site for Colorado. The Permit flolder must check this <br /> NRCS F rP site regularly and coordinate nate with the C CB to suspend operations when <br /> warranted. <br /> The NRCS is moving,the long-term (30-year)average of SNCTEL,sites from the 1971- <br /> 2000 data to the 1981-2010 data: by the end of 2012. The MRCS will update the <br /> snowpack SWE values and snapping that are used for State's suing suspension <br /> criteria. <br /> As of 2010. the NRCS is wing the 1971-2000 snowpack SWE data.The values below <br /> are the actual SWE values (black) and snowpack SWE thresholds (red) that will be <br /> monitored and mapped for suspension criteria. The data will also be shown in a spatial <br /> 4 <br />
