<br />4 <br /> <br />. DMSION ENGINEER'S REPORT <br />Steve Vandiver passed out some hand outs. These are attached. <br /> <br />The forecast for the Conejos and Rio Grande drainages went up substantially between April 1 st and <br />May 1st. The allocation committee delegated 60% to Rio Grande and 40% to Conejos. The <br />decrease from tlte project is reflected in these figures and what we allocated to tlte two different <br />rivers. It raised the Conejos curtailment about 10%, from 16% to 26% and the Rio Grande from 7% <br />to 12%. Ai. present we are not curtailing the Rio Grande index flows at all. Weare taking tlte return <br />flows and using the tributary inflow to meet our obligation at the present time. <br />The Snotel report has decreased dramatically the last two weeks. Steve recommended to tlte <br />committee that we continue to operate tlte project at its maximum level and continue witlt the water <br />quality criteria and make the largest deliveries that we can throughout the year. It is only about <br />35,000 ac ft and this is only about 10% oftlte obligation. The total delivery for Colorado this year <br />is going to be about 330,000 ac ft. <br /> <br />Garry thanked Steve and' said that he hoped that tlte project could increase tlte amount that they <br />delivered. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Garry asked ifwe needed to make a motion on the recommendations and Allen said that he didn't <br />believe that a motion needed to be made because it was made at the last meeting and nothing has <br />changed since. <br /> <br />Tim reaffirmed that with tlte available data he believed that the project is in compliance witlt tlte . <br />t legislation. · <br /> <br />OTHER ISSUES <br /> <br />Allen stated that he was pleased tltat tltere is a real probability of getting some extra money to focus <br />on an explanation for tlte changes in tlte water table. <br /> <br />Steve asked Garry ifhe would be at tlte November meeting. Garry tlten explained what was going <br />on with filling his position when he retired. He said he would be here in November and hoped tlte <br />new Area Manager would be with him. <br /> <br />The next regular meeting will be November 19, 1998, at 1 :00 p.m. in the conference room. <br /> <br />Allen made the motion to adjourn and George seconded and it carried. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 3 :45 p.m. <br /> <br />. <br />
