<br />2.2 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />,I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />04G8 <br /> <br />downstream of Ruedi Reservoir or to compensate downstream water users for out- <br />of-priority diversion by the collection system of the Fryingpan-Arkansas <br />Project. Fall, winter, and early spring releases are made from the reservoir <br />to provide adequate storage for spring runoff. <br />The first-round water sales of 7,850 AF included 1,850 AF of augmented <br />water sales for municipal and domestic uses and 6,000 AF of augmented water <br />sales for industrial use. The sales level of 7,850 AF represents the maximum <br />amount of water which would be sold from Ruedi Reservoir during an extremely <br />dry year. However, operational modeling indicated a maximum augmented sale of <br />only 4,700 AF would ever occur during the period of study 1948 to 1983. This <br />is because the water purchasers in Round I purchased water greatly in excess of <br />their actual needs. <br />The No Action Alternative essentially constitutes the basel ine against <br />which all other alternatives are judged. The No Action Alternative has a maximum <br />delivery of 7,200 AF, and Ruedi Reservoir usually has over 100,000 AF of volume <br />each year on September 1, and, on the average, there is almost no drawdown during <br />the summer. There is only a 3 percent chance that the reservoir will be below <br />85,000 AF on September 1 of any year. With the No Action Alternative, revenues <br />from water sales are not great enough to repay construction costs in accordance <br />with the Operating Principles. The No Action Alternative is therefore not a <br />preferred operational alternative. <br /> <br />Preferred Alternative. Maximum Suoolemental Suooly. With No Sales <br />from a 28.000 AF Reolacement Pool. Assumino a 20/80 <br />Percent Municioal/lndustrial Demand Solit. Resoectively <br />The Preferred Alternatiye represents a modification of the maximum <br />unconstrained yield of the reservoir capacity, plus refinement and correction <br />of the hydrology. This modification was a result of public comment and con- <br />sultation during the assessment review process and the DSES 83-69 review. Water <br />sales would be restricted to the available water supply provided by Ruedi <br />Reservoir with 28,000 AF being available annually for replacement purposes. This <br />conforms with the intent of the project authorization to provide up to 28,000 <br />AF of capacity in Ruedi Reservoir equivalent to that which would have been <br />provided by the proposed Aspen Reservoir for replacement and other purposes. <br />Water sales would not be made from the replacement pool until additional <br />operating experience is gained. This alternative would yield a marketable water <br />
