this study will offer insight into the timing, magnitude, and possible allocation of the <br />water available from both projects to benefit a variety of entities in Colorado. <br />The following actions will need to be accomplished with the understanding that <br />the first obligation of the reservoir will be to provide water for augmentation of <br />depletions caused by wells in Water District 64. Water made available for purposes <br />other than augmentation for the Project's principal sponsor, GASP, will be on an as <br />available basis. <br />Be WORK TASKS: <br />1. Review the Cooperative Agreement for Platte River Research and Other <br />Efforts Relating to Endangered Species Habitat along the Central <br />"`� Platte River, Nebraska. <br />\V The Secretary of Interior and the States of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming <br />have entered into a Cooperative Agreement, which requires, in part, that <br />Colorado will initiate the development of reregulation projectswithin Colorado <br />as necessary to shift water flows from periods of net accretions to periods of <br />net depletions to benefit four target species listed as threatened or endangered <br />and their associated habitat along the Platte River in Nebraska. The <br />Tamarack Plan involves the use of participating existing and future wells and <br />other facilities in Colorado to reregulate flows that are in excess of legal rights <br />to and physical demands for water in Colorado in a manner _that -is consistent <br />with the flow related goals of the Platte River Recovery Implementation <br />2 DRAFT, July 16, 1999 (3:04pm) <br />
