Colorado below the project diversion points for the uses covered by this
paragraph 6 exceed the available supply of water; provided that the rate
of release of such stored water shall be reasonable and proper with due
regard for the needs in Western volorado for replacement water.

No charge shall ever be imposed for water released from, or made
available by reason of releases from, the replacement capacity of the
Aspen Reservoir:.

7. That portion of the total capacity of the Aspen Reservoir not .
needed as repla'cement capacity c onati tutes surplus capacity. Water stored
in such surplus' capacity may be sold or leased by the United States to
water users in Western Colorado. Charges for tile use of such water shall
be comparable t'o charges for use of project water for similar purposes
in Eastern Colorado wi th appropriate adjustment for tile repayment ability .
of such water u~ers. If it hereafter appears that the cost of procuring.
water, from sources other than the surplus capacity of the Aspen Reser-
voir, for the same uses as those to which water from the surplus capacity
of the reservoir .vs to be made available shall have been increased by
reason of the construction and operation of the project~ then the charges
for water released from the surplus capacity shall be diminillhed. by the
amount of such increase in cost.

8. Project diversions from Lime Creek shall be made only in the
months of May and June of each year.

than that required to maintain the recommended average flows in the
Roaring Fork River at the head of the proposed Aspen Reservoir in a
quantity proportionate to the res]:ective natural contributions of those
streams from which diversions are made to the historic flow of the lioaring
Fork River. The recommended average flows above mentioned are Dow's in
