<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />'" <br /> <br />oZ~. <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />To: Board Members of Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br />From: Bart Woodward, President GASP. <br /> <br />Date: March 6, 1998 <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />State of Colorado participation in the GASP reregulation project. <br /> <br />Included in this information packed is a small booklet entitled "South Platte River <br />Compact - Colorado Proceedings". This booklet is a reproduction of a State Publication <br />printed originally around 1925 and includes the compact and additional information <br />concerning the Compact. <br /> <br />Also included is a copy ofCRS 37.81.101-104 better know as the export statute. <br /> <br />The information included on the four additional sheets in this packet illustrate the potential <br />problems that may be caused by the delivery of 10,000 acre feet of water across the State <br />line. The information on the spread sheets is an example of a thought process and is not <br />intended to be construed as being real time data from diversion records. <br /> <br />The first page is a brief description of the export statute, the Compact and some <br />assumptions that have some resemblance to present day conditions. The purpose is not to <br />defend those assumptions but rather to use them to illustrate a day to day operation at the <br />Julesburg gage. <br /> <br />All three of the examples use native or natural flow at the State line. This flow is listed in <br />the first column labeled "Native Flow." It begins at 68 cfs and is incremented up in S cfs <br />steps until it reaches 130 cfs and then is incremented down until it reaches 43 cfs. <br /> <br />Example #1 is an example of what might happen should Tamarack begin to deliver water <br />to the State line without some specific change in the Compact. <br /> <br />Native Flow is that flow that would be at the State line without any additions from outside <br />sources. <br /> <br />Well Replace is water that would be released from the reservoir to cover calculated well <br />depletions that would be affecting the State line obligation. <br /> <br />Tamarack Recoverv is that water which is arriving at the State line by virtue of being <br />generated by reregulation plans specifically for the Recovery Plan. <br /> <br />Junior Diversions are ditch decrees that are junior to the Compact but senior to the wells. <br /> <br />Export Cost is the "fee of fifty dollars per acre-foot to be assessed and collected by the <br />state engineer on water diverted, carried, stored, or transported in this state for beneficial <br />
