<br />Recreation on water management opportunities with respect to water acquired for a state park <br />or parks. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The ARBWMP would coordinate with the State Engineer for approval of annual substitute water <br />supply plans. It would also provide reports to the State Engineer and the master appointed by <br />the U.S. Supreme Court on its compliance on behalf of its members with orders of the court. <br /> <br />The ARBWMP would establish and collect fees annually from its members to provide for the costs <br /> <br /> <br />related to acquiring and managing its land and water resources. These fees would cover lease <br /> <br />and loan authorization costs for water resources acquired. The fees also would provide for <br /> <br />personner, legal and engineering costs as well as other miscellaneous costs. <br /> <br />The fee structure could be based upon a number of various scenarios, but for the purposes of <br /> <br />this proposal it is recommended that it be based on the best data available which should be the <br /> <br />annual volume of water pumped by post-compact wells. This appears to be the most equitable <br /> <br />since those who pump more would pay more. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />The ARBWMP would also approach the Legislature on behalf of the entire basin and seek <br /> <br /> <br />assistance in acquiring water resources if the costs exceed the reasonable ability to pay. <br /> <br />The ARBWMP would need to focus initially on the estimated average depletions to useable <br /> <br /> <br />stateline flows of 20,000 acre-feet per year resulting from the pumping of 150,000 acre-feet per <br /> <br /> <br />year on the long-term average. These values will become more refined as data on actual <br /> <br /> <br />pumping becomes available in 1994 and thereafter. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />-2- <br />
