ARCA Annual Meeting 27 <br /> December 14, 1993 <br /> r <br /> 1 MR. JESSE: It is operating, like I said, it is having an affect on the river. We are <br /> 2 hoping to continue and it is good to get that stuff out of the stream. I might report that last year <br /> 3 the Fry-Ark Boustead we imported 86,000 acre feet, brought over about 5,000 in the Busk- <br /> 4 Ivanhoe, and 28 in the Homestake, and so we have a slightly better, as Steve said, than average <br /> 5 year last year since our average is about 69,000 or 70,000 acre feet. The contents of Turquoise, <br /> 6 we have 107,000—we have got 113,000 in Twin Lakes, and we have a 146,000 in Pueblo. We <br /> 7 have stored, so far, in winter water, 14,500 acre feet and we are in the process now of moving <br /> 8 our water from the upper to the lower reservoirs. We will run water from Turquoise through the <br /> 9 power plant at Twin Lakes, through Twin Lakes and store it in Pueblo in anticipation of our <br /> 10 imports next year. We are going to be making room for our imports next year which we are <br /> 11 forecasting at this time to be about 70,000 acre feet. We are going to bring 70,000 acre feet <br /> Ath <br /> glIF 12 down over the period of the entire winter. We started shortly after the middle of August in <br /> 13 running water for this year. We are going to continue running water and maintain the Wellsville <br /> 14 gage at about 500 second feet. We have a 135 second feet of reservoir water in the river, and we <br /> 15 will fluctuate that as the natural flows or the base flow goes down to keep the fish flow, to keep <br /> 16 the flow for the fish in the neighborhood of 500 feet. We will probably cut that back along in the <br /> 17 first of April until the runoff starts, to allow the fish to hatch out about that time in a little lower <br /> 18 flow. We have already moved little over 20,000 of our 70,000 and we still have about 50,000 to <br /> 19 go. We did augment during the period July to August, for the rafting flows. It wasn't required <br /> 20 that we do near the augmentation we planned. We only run about 440 acre feet to augment the <br /> 21 rafters this year. The native flows were high enough there were other reservoir runs in the steam <br /> 22 so it wasn't really necessary for us to put a lot of water in the river to augment the rafting flow. <br /> W 2 3 We were prepared had it been necessary, but it wasn't necessary. <br /> 24 The project—I believe I reported last year the project is complete. We did utilize <br />
