This figure was based upon those <br />projects for which Biological Consultations are filed with the U,S. Fish and Wildlife Service and upon <br />quantities requested in applications to USBR under the Green Mountain Reservoir and Ruedi Water <br />Sales Programs (Simons, et aI., 1983; RCI, 1985), Of this total, 3,000 af was supplied from the Green <br />Mountain Reservoir Water Marketing Sales in all three scenarios; and 3,000 af and 40,000 af were <br />provided under the Ruedi Reservoir Water Marketing Sales in the Moderate and High Future-Level <br />Use Scenarios, respectively, The balance of the 93,000 af annual demand for oil shale in the High <br />Future-Level Use Scenario was assumed to be supplied from the Colorado River in the vicinity of <br />Parachute and DeBeque and in the Main Elk Creek Basin, <br /> <br />3-12 <br /> <br />; <br />i...-' <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />L....: <br /> <br />-' <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />--' <br /> <br />:....., <br />
