Mr. Rick Gold <br />May 3, 2005 <br />Page 2 <br />In contemplation that such an extension can be prepared, we have reviewed in detail existing, <br />anticipated and potential depletions in the Upper Colorado River Basin in New Mexico. We have <br />made minor revisions to previous schedules of depletions in the Basin in New Mexico to reflect <br />the Agreement and other information that has become available since Thomas Turney <br />transmitted an updated depletion schedule to you via letter dated February 19, 2002. The <br />revised depletion schedule is contained in a memorandum from John Whipple to Philip Mutz, <br />dated April 22, 2005, copy enclosed for your information and use. Further discussion of the <br />depletion schedule and of the availability of water within New Mexico's Upper Basin <br />apportionment to service the NGWSP is provided in documents prepared in support of the <br />Agreement that Mr. Whipple has made available to members of your staff. <br />This letter, with -its attachments, is being forwarded to the Upper Colorado River Commissioners <br />for the United States, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming for their information. <br />We appreciate the efforts of the Bureau of Reclamation in the planning and development of the <br />proposed NGWSP and the Bureau's efforts to complete a hydrologic determination within the <br />year. Mr. Whipple has scheduled a meeting with your staff in May to discuss preparation of an <br />updated hydrologic determination. Please let us know if additional information would be useful <br />and please call Mr. Whipple or me should you have any questions. <br />Si y, <br />A <br />ohn R. D'Antonio, Jr., P.E., State Engineer <br />and Secretary of the Interstate Stream Commission <br />Enclosures <br />Copy w /enc.: Richard Bratton <br />Scott Balcomb <br />Larry Anderson <br />Patrick Tyrell <br />Don Ostler <br />Stanley Pollack <br />
