1 <br />measurements: The confluence gage:- <br />has to meet at least 70 <br />2 <br />percent of <br />the Muddy Creek gage or <br />then the actual difference <br />3 <br />is charged <br />as a transit loss. But <br />in any event, they only get <br />4 <br />37 percent <br />of the flow less the 30 <br />percent transit loss. So if <br />5 <br />you know the flow of the Muddy Creek <br />gage, about 26 percent of <br />6 <br />that would <br />wind up in ,john Martin, <br />as I understand the decree, <br />7 and it doesn't spell these numbers out, it talks in percentages. <br />8 If anybody would like to go over the decree in <br />9 some detail, I brought a copy with me. <br />10 MR. COOLEY: A couple more quick questions for <br />1111 my own help. <br />1211 Is it true that the larger the event, the greate <br />{ 13 <br />the <br />proportion <br />that could be stored in <br />John Martin, or would <br />14 <br />the <br />proportions <br />essentially remain the <br />same? <br />15 MR. JESSE: The proportion would be the same. <br />16 Now, the decree uses the number 37 percent or <br />17 they take 5,000 over 13,O00, which means that the amount <br />18 transferred is 37 percent of the amount that was there. <br />1911 MR. COOLEY: The next question is this: Are the <br />20 1+ ggaq.es• of sufficient design and construction so that they would <br />2111 accurately measure a very substantial flow? <br />2 22 MR. JESSE: Well, of course, I don't know until <br />23 such an event occurs, but I would speculate that they would. <br />24 There's only one way to find out if the gaging station works <br />25 and that's to run a bunch of water by it, but they look like the <br />
