<br />WHEREAS, the CWCB adopted by formal resolution operation considerations for the <br />Aspinall Unit as contained in the attached November 22, 1994 letter to the U.S. Bureau of <br />Reclamation; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the amounts of water applied for by the NPS are more than the minimum <br />amounts necessary to fulfill the primary purposes of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison <br />National Monument. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, the NPS should modify its quantification application as follows: <br /> <br />The quantification priority date should be no earlier than the most junior decree date for the <br />Aspinall units. <br /> <br />The quantification should recognize the 60,000 AF subordination agreement signed July, <br />2000. <br /> <br />The quantification should be compatible with the priorities enumerated in the November 22, <br />1994 letter to Reclamation. <br /> <br />The quantification cannot dictate operations of the Aspinall Unit unless a valid contract with <br />Reclamation is obtained and has undergone appropriate NEP A compliance. <br /> <br />The quantification should not interfere with Colorado's development of its compact <br />apportioned waters nor adversely impact decreed water rights. <br />
