<br />of the year. With the reservoir. filled to capacity, abbut 44,000 acre-feet would
<br />be spilled to the Colorado River during June and July.
<br />
<br />East Slope - CBT Project
<br />
<br />With reasonable maximum water supplies, light supplemental water deliveries
<br />totaling 105,000 acre-feet would be made to the Colorado-Big Thompson project.
<br />Adams Tunnel diversions would average about 320 c. f. s. during the March-July
<br />period. The average diversion would vary with individual months as required to
<br />minimize generation of surplus energy during this heavy runoff period. With no
<br />anticipated irrigation deliveries until July and above normal initial storage,
<br />Carter Lake and Horsetooth Reservoir would fill to capacity by the end of July.
<br />With filled east slope terminal storage, west slope diversions could not be made
<br />to prevent spill of Lake Granby.

<br />
<br />With record high carryover storage and maximum runoff forecast on February 1,
<br />it is imperative to plan release of water from the North Platte System before the
<br />advent of heavy snowmeIt.runoff. planned releases of surplus river water from
<br />the North Platte System to Nebraska would be: March - 3,000 c. f. s. , April -.
<br />3,300 c. f. s., May - 3,150 c. f. s., and June - 2,850 c. f. s. The planned total
<br />release of 745,000 acre-feet would provide protection to the city of Casper and
<br />prevent costly damage to the system structures and other improvements on the
<br />North Platte River.
<br />
<br />Seminoe
<br />
<br />With reasonable maximum runoff forecast on February I, Seminoe Reservoir
<br />releases for power production would be increased sharply to affect reservoir
<br />fill during JWle without spill. Scheduled maintenance on the Seminoe Powerplant
<br />units would be deferred to eliminate powerplant bypass. Year-end storage con-
<br />tent of 830,000 acre-feet would be much above normal.
<br />
<br />Pathfinder
<br />
<br />Pathfinder Reservoir would reach the maximum storage content of 916, 000 acre-
<br />feet by February 29. Immediately after a February 1 water supply forecast of
<br />reasonable maximum runoff, releases through Fremont Canyon Powerplant would
