Consistent with the original USBR planning studies, <br />this release is 3,900 acre,feet per year, generally about B ets in the summer months and 3 cfs in <br />the winter months. <br /> <br />The major water rights owned by the Dolores Water Conservancy District for operation of <br />the Project are summarized in the following table. This list does not include several small senior <br />irrigation rights, owned by the USBR, which are stored in McPhee Reservoir as part of the <br />operation of the Paradox Salinity Control Unit. The yield of these water rights is relatively small <br />and they are not separately accounted for by the Dolores Water Conservancy District in the <br />operation of the Project. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION <br />DATE <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATION <br />NUMBER <br /> <br />AIIo'I:1M <br /> <br />NAME <br /> <br />ADJUDICATION <br />DATE <br /> <br />Main Canal No. 1 <br />McPhee Res.

The first listed water right was <br />acquired from the MVIC pursuant to the MVIC's 1977 Contract with the District and the Towaoc- <br />Highline Canal Agreement. This water right will be changed by court action to allow storage in <br />McPhee Reservoir and exchange from McPhee Reservoir to Groundhog Reservoir. It is noted that <br />the Dolores Water Conservancy District also owns a number of conditional direct flow and storage <br />decrees for other project components that are no longer part of the project (eg. Monument Creek <br />Reservoir, Dawson Draw Reservoir, etc.). <br /> <br />14 <br />
