HOLLAND & HART LLP <br />ATTORNEYS AT LAW <br />Lee E. Miller <br />April 23, 2002 <br />Page 2 <br />reports as an impartial and reasonably accurate indicator of probable water <br />supply availability. While we think this is a good approach and one that merits <br />your serious consideration, we remain willing to consider alternative objective <br />drought period triggers should the PSOP group determine that other dry year <br />indicators are better suited to this purpose. <br />I have also made - changes in paragraph 2 to reflect the discussion at our <br />meeting on April 17. <br />I am also enclosing copies of an Excel spreadsheet chart prepared by <br />Bruce Kroeker utilizing the data provided by CSU. The chart shows the <br />maximum, average, and minimum flows at the Above Pueblo gauge, plus fish <br />hatchery inflows, as compared to the curtailment thresholds stated in the <br />enclosed paragraph 2.b. As you can see, the curtailment thresholds are less <br />than historical average flows in all cases. <br />The data provided by CSU also indicates that the period of time <br />proposed for the higher target flows to be provided as part of the flow <br />management program addressed in paragraph 4 of the agreement should likely <br />be terminated sometime in late August, rather than Labor Day as specified in <br />the April 9 draft. Pueblo is open to further discussion on that point. <br />Please feel free to call me should you have any questions concerning this <br />proposal. I request that you or Steve Arveschoug provide these documents to <br />the Storage Participants. The technical representatives or consultants for the <br />various Storage Participants and the Southeastern District are also free to call <br />Bruce Kroeker directly. <br />Sincerely, <br />Anne J.
