Mike Purcell <br />WY Water Development Commission <br />What has been the historic ability of North Platte River to fill Pathfinder Reservoir? <br />Does the reservoir regularly fill? If not, why is it planned for enlargement? <br />Will the water flows from the three state accounts add any "new" water to the system, or <br />will the program rely on new timing of releases to meet the target flows downstream of <br />Lake McConaughy? If the target flows are met in any given year, exactly what happens <br />to water in storage that is allocated to the program? In fact, is any water actually <br />allocated to the program, or is it all a matter of timing? <br />How long did it take for sediment to reach the current level, has it ever been dredged, and <br />what is the life expectancy of this increased storage before it is lost to sedimentation? <br />When will another modification be necessary to accommodate silt accumulation? <br />For what specific uses will the Wyoming account be used? Who will receive this water, <br />and will any of it be used for irrigation? <br />Where is the Water that is unable to be stored by Pathfinder Dam going now, and who is <br />using it if it is not making its way to pathfinder dam? Where does the historic right to <br />this water exist? Will the expansion of Pathfinder take water away from anyone currently <br />using it? <br />Will there be any federal costs associated with the modification of Pathfinder Dam? <br />
