Although a significant portion of the acreage included in this <br />program is in reaches 18 and 19, which are within or near the end of the critical habitat, <br />the savings in consumptive use may be stored in the EA as space is available. Releases <br />from the Lake McConaughy EA will flow through the entire critical habitat, therefore, <br />the yields of these programs have not been discounted. As mentioned earlier, the project <br />assumes that leased water rights are associated with storage rights. <br />The tables below show the proposed average monthly reductions in diversions and the <br />reductions in on -farm deliveries for each reach. Although the reductions in diversions <br />were assigned to a reach based on the distribution of irrigated acres, in some cases the <br />reductions would occur further upstream depending on the location of the mainstem <br />headgate. The amount delivered on -farm was based on the average conveyance loss for <br />each reach. Data on conveyance losses was based on county -level information obtained <br />from the USGS Water Use Data for 1995. <br />Table III -3 <br />Reductions in Diversions from the North Platte, South Platte and Platte Rivers (ac -it) <br />Month <br />Reach 10 <br />Reach 14 <br />Reach 15 <br />Reach 16 <br />Reach 17 <br />Reach 18 <br />Reach 19 <br />October <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />November <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />December <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />January <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />February <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />March <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />April <br />16 <br />19 <br />14 <br />19 <br />34 <br />23 <br />9 <br />May <br />34 <br />41 <br />31 <br />41 <br />80 <br />55 <br />21 <br />June <br />288 <br />279 <br />293 <br />458 <br />905 <br />983 <br />819 <br />July <br />683 <br />639 <br />696 <br />1128 <br />2622 <br />2946 <br />2347 <br />August <br />613 <br />575 <br />625 <br />1036 <br />2115 <br />2386 <br />2023 <br />September <br />50 <br />59 <br />45 <br />80 <br />147 <br />134 <br />83 <br />Annual <br />1683 <br />1611 <br />1705 <br />2762 <br />5904 <br />6528 <br />5302 <br />\ \DN00 \E- DRIVE\PROJECTS\Platte \Work Produaffask 9 \wapc report (Version 7).doc 17 <br />
