The summer storage season began at 0001 April 1, 1989. Transfer of
winter Conservation storage into the agreement accounts began
immediately. Three Colorado ditches began requesting water on April
1. All winter compact water was released into agreement accounts by
April 14, 1989. Thereafter, pursuant to Section II.C of the "Resolution
Concerning an Operating Plan for John Martin Reservoir," all inflows
passed directiy through John Martin until May 16, 1989. From May 16
to May 29 and again from June 4 to June 15 short periods of summer
conservation storage occurred. No other conservation storage inflows
occurred during the remainder of Compact Year 1989. Summer
conservation storage operations are shown in Table 6, below.

Pursuant to the operating plan, water released from conservation
storage was placed in the agreement accounts and subsequently
accounted for as shown in Table 7, below.

Summer operations of the Section III accounts during Compact Year
1989 are summarized in Table 8, below. Pursuant to the operating
plan the Amity Canal is the only entity currently entitled to store
