<br />, <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />OuDJ$6 <br /> <br />- 2 - <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Consumptive use of projects included in the diversion demand <br />on Navajo Reservoir of 755,000 acre feet would be 371,uOO acre <br />feet, exclusive of reservoir evaporation. <br />The depletions of the initial stage of the San Juan-Chama <br />diversion project were taken from the supplemental report on <br />that project by the Bureau of Reclamation, except for the year <br />1956 which was estimated by the Committee. The depletion and <br />diversions by potential future uses in New Mexico were taken from <br />a letter written by S. E. Reynolds, State Engineer of New Mexico <br />to Mr. John Barnard Jr., under date of June 10, 1958. <br />The municipal and industrial demand of 224,000 acre feet <br />was stated in that letter to be available for diversion from <br />Navajo Reservoir. In these analyses it was assumed to include <br />diversion demands of 55,000 acre feet for the Utah Construction <br />Company, 10,000 acre feet for the Town of Fannington, 10,400 <br />acre feet to cover the notices of intention of El Paso Natural, <br />Bloomfield Irrigation District and C. H. Hallett and 84,000 acre <br />feet assigned to the Secretary of the Interior by the Utah <br />Construction Company for other potential uses. This 84,000 acre <br />feet, together with the balance of the 224,000 acre feet, amount- <br />ing to 64,600 acre feet would be available for extension of the <br />San Juan-Chama project or alternative uses within the basin in <br />New Mexico. <br />Condition A. In this analysis it was assumed that no <br />further development would occur in Colorado above the Navajo Dam. <br />No significant shortages for New Mexico projects until the years <br />1955 and 1956 of the study period, as shown in Column 8 of the <br />attached analysis. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />-"",,-. - ..-', <br />
