<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />temporary approval to move water stored this winter under direct flow rights into the <br />joint use space while the shape of any necessary additional study is being developed. <br />The PRWCD stated that it needed temporary approval by April 15 of this year to be <br />able to fully utilize water that may become available to it under its other storage rights. <br />It was not made clear why this departure would be necessary since John Martin <br />Reservoir is currently spilling and much of the storage at Trinidad Reservoir this winter <br />probably occurred since the spill began. Kansas indicated it was unable to approve the <br />request at this time, but might give it further consideration in the future. <br /> <br />USSR appeared to be willing to do further study of the winter water proposal if the <br />parameters developed by Kansas seem reasonable and feasible, and the PRWCD also <br />expressed some interest in participating in an additional study if necessary. The time <br />frame for resolution of this issue was apparently not fixed due to the District's insistence <br />on temporary approval by April 15, 1998 and Kansas' unwillingness to do so. It would <br />appear that the following tasks are required to move ahead: <br />1) PRWCD should submit its request for temporary modification of the Operating <br />Principles and a detailed explanation and rationale in writing for consideration by <br />Kansas and USSR. <br />2) USSR will have to decide on the appropriate period of time (6 months or less) for <br />Kansas to develop its study parameters if approval of the PRWCD's request for <br />temporary modification is not given by April 15. <br /> <br />cc: Julianne Wold ridge <br />Jeris Danielson <br />Gene Aiello <br />Dennis Montgomery <br /> <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />C:\SRMILLER\ARKANSAS\TRIN10AD\980PPRN1.MEM <br />Printed: March 2. 1998 <br />
