1980 Operating Plan - Section II, F: <br />"Evaporation charges shall be made against water stored in the <br />accounts ... usin formulas and procedures approved by the <br />Colorado Division Engineer and a representative of the Kansas <br />Division of Water Resources ... <br />... evaporation charges shall be prorated amongst conservation <br />storage and the accounts according to the amounts in them " <br />(emphasis added) <br />Water detained in the flood pool (though physically subject to <br />evaporation) is not part of conservation storage nor in an account <br />defined by the 1980 Operating plan. <br />It has been asserted that the procedure historically used by the <br />Operations Secretary in such situations is not currently supported <br />by the provisions of the 1980 plan and the representatives of the <br />states have not agreed to alternative procedures. <br />
