Assistant Secretary Bennett Raley in Las <br />Vegas andjoin.tly presented to him a Nevada prOposal to modify the Interim Surplus <br />Guidelines. The proposal would provide Nevada with 60,000 acre feet per year, beyond <br />its basic Colorado River apportionment, as a bridge resource, as originally provided for in <br />the Inte.rim Surplus Guidelines, until 2016, when additional in-state water resources can <br />have been developed. . . <br /> <br />The proposal was formulated in response to Assistant Secretary Raley's express <br />request for a Nevada proposal and'the concern expressed earlier by Secretary Norton and . <br />other Basin state represeritatives that N eVaQa would be uniquely affected by the <br />disenstatement ofsmplus detenninations which occurred this year. We have postponed <br />presentation of this proposal earlier this year in hopes that the California parties would <br />reach agreement regarding the Quantification Settlement Agreement. Now that 2003 is <br />halfway completed, we feel it necessary to distribute the proposal with hopes of seeing it <br />implemented this year <br /> <br />A copy of the proposal is attached.
