<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />", <br /> <br />River Aqueduct than currently exists, The Six State Representatives conditioned their willingness <br />to work on mutl!ally agreeable interim operating criteria on California's commitment to enter into <br />a defined, enforceable program to reduce its dependence on Colorado River water over its basic <br />entitlement in a way that avoids undue risk of shortage to other Basin States, While California <br />has not yet completed the 4.4 Plan that will create the framework for the defined, enforceable <br />program that the Six States require, it has made meaningful progress. In recognition of that <br />progress and in order to move the discussions forward, last October the Six States set forth their <br />principles for defining the interim operating criteria. They have now added additional explanation <br />and detail to those principles, <br />The Six State proposal is based on a number oflegal and policy considerations, Critical to <br />these considerations is that the interim operating criteria must be accomplished within the existing <br />"Law of the River." Also, any risk of future shortages resulting from the interim operating criteria <br />be must be borne by those who benefitted, The proposal for surplus determination is similar in <br />approach to that proposed in the December 1997 Draft California 4.4 Plan, but contains <br />differences in several of the specific provisions. The Six States also believe that issues of shortage <br />criteria, overrun accounting, and control of illegal diversions and uses must be addressed and have <br />suggested how those issues should be resolved. <br />The representatives of the Six States believe that this proposal should be viewed as a <br />positive step toward the successful completion and implementation of the California 4.4 Plan, <br />They believe the time has come to expedite discussions with California's representatives on these <br />critical Colorado River issues, <br /> <br />14 <br />
