remained constant until all account releases were concluded on July 4, 2002. This fact allows the <br />reasonable assumption that the conveyance response of the river was the same following the <br />conclusion of the release on July 4, 2002 as if the Section.II release had ended on that date. <br />Therefore, one may still evaluate the delivery over a 7 day period in order to allow for the arrival <br />of the receding release wave following the end of the actual Section II release simply by <br />extracting the Offset Account affected period of Stateline flow from the record. In order to do <br />this I have used a period of two days for both the initial arrival of water released from Kansas <br />accounts and for the initial arrival of the first water released from the Offset Account. I also <br />assigned full credit for delivery of all Offset Account released on July 4, 2002. Please refer to the <br />enclosed Transit Loss Worksheet to review how I determined that a transit loss of 676 a.f <br />occurred as a consequence of Kansas' can for delivery of its Section II account water beginning <br />on June 17, 2002. <br />I have directed that this deficit shall be made up from the transfers of water that occurred on <br />March 15, 2003, under Section III D of the Resolution, even though Kansas continued calling for <br />releases of water despite an advisory provided pursuant to Section II E (5) of the Resolution, on <br />June 24, 2002. <br />Finally, i dispute the assertion that an agreement has been reached concerning the disposition of <br />any water that may be provided to make up for delivery deficits. Neither the Administration nor <br />the Operations Committee has taken any action to amend or interpret the Resolution in a manner <br />conforming to your position. Therefore, the Operations Secretary's accounting shows that a <br />transfer of 676 a.f was made to the transit loss account in addition to the usual 1700 a.f., <br />consistent with my understanding of Section III D of the Resolution. <br />Should you have any questions, please feel free to call this office. <br />Sincerely, <br />'Steven J.
