<br />()020:..4 <br /> <br />OperatinF, Plan 1966 (Contd.) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />by September. During other years. it will be necessary to make <br />special releases during September or early October to draw the pool <br />level down another foot to elevation 3669.00 (35.500 acre-feet). <br /> <br />The natural flows of the South Fork of the Republican River and <br />Landsman Creek above Bonny Reservoir will be released to Hale Ditch <br />when requested by the Colorado Department of Water Resources. Storage <br />water will again be available to Hale Ditch irrigators under Warren Act <br />Contracts as a supplemental water supply. <br /> <br />Trenton Dam and Swanson Lake <br /> <br />Irrigation requirements on storage will be made by irri~ators under <br />the Meeker-Driftwood and Bartley systems for 19.070 acres. The <br />reservoir conservation pool was full at the start of 1966; therefore, <br />the carryover storage and available inflow will be adequate to meet <br />this demand. The maximum expected draw down under "reasonable minimum" <br />conditions will be about 11.7 feet (51,160 acre-feet) below the top of <br />the conservation pool. <br /> <br />Enders Dam and Reservoir <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />The conservation pool of Enders Reservoir will fill under all condi- <br />tions by the beginning of the irrigation season; therefore, th~ water <br />supply will be adequate to meet the irrigation requirements of 18,500 <br />acres expected to be irrigated by the Frenchman Valley and H & RW <br />Irrigation Districts. The maximUll1 expected drawdown under "reasonable <br />minimum" conditions will be about 18.1 feet (24,480 acre-feet) below <br />the top of the conservation pool. <br /> <br />Red Willow Dam and Hugh Butler Lake <br /> <br />Hugh Butler conservation pool is not expected to fill under "reasonable <br />minimum" conditions, Inflow and conservation storage will be more than <br />adequate to meet senior appropriations and requirements of 3,280 acres <br />expected to be irrigated by the Red Willow Canal system. <br /> <br />Medicine Creek Dam and Harry Strunk Lake <br /> <br />The reservoir conservation pool waS full at the start of 1966; therefore, <br />the carryover storage and available inflow will be adequate to meet the <br />requirements of 14,460 acres expected to be irrigated by the Cambridge <br />Canal system. The maximum expected drawdown under "reasonable minimum" <br />conditions will be about 12.3 feet (17,940 acre-feet) below the top <br />of the conservation pool. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13 <br />
