<br />APPENDIX "A-1" <br /> <br />OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT <br /> <br />The Operations Committee Report for Compact Year 1986 was read <br />into the record by Jim Rogers at the December 9, 1986 Annual Meeting of <br />the Arkansas River Compact Administration, The following is <br />transcribed from the minutes of that meeting, <br />The Operations Committee report on December 9th, 1986, It is much <br />too early to tell about the snowpack for 1987, Most reservoirs upstream <br />are full or nearly so, There was not much space to store last year's <br />transmounlain water, There was some left on the western slope in 1986 <br />because of lack of storage space, <br />During the winter of 1985-86 - November 1, 1985, to April 1, 1986 - a <br />tolal of 7S,000 acre feet of winter stored water was stored, The Fort Lyon <br />did not store in John Marlin Dam in 1985-86 but the Consolidated Ditch <br />did, And its unused water was rolled into the conservation pool on <br />November 1, 1986, according to the operation plan, <br />Tbere were no flood events during 1985-86, The Pueblo Reservoir is at <br />the bottom of the joint use pool now and the downstream reservoirs have <br />about 50,000 acre feet of space available, And John Martin has less than a <br />hundred thousand acre feet of space available, <br />Water was stored this summer for the Amity Canal under the Great <br />Plains decrees, This was done under the authorization of the 1980 <br />operation plan with the consent of all upstream users, this water being in <br />addition to the Amity's water and compact water, 35 percent went into the <br />transit loss account, as it has in the past, as called for by the agreement <br />between the two states, The transit loss account will again be quite large, <br />Kansas has 104,960 acre feet in its account now counting their share of <br />the water that was stored so far this winter, The new lable in the <br />operations secretary's report shows the delivery to Kansas by runs <br />instead of by months as was shown last year, All Kansas runs were <br />delivered last year, <br />There were two storage events on Muddy Creek stored in the <br />pennanent pool. The satellite communications system is operating with a <br />total of 4S stations in the Arkansas drainage including the Cheyenne <br />Creek gauge, The computer program for John Martin accounting is now <br />functional, And that concludes our report, <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />!---. - <br />
