<br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Don Higbee and Mr. David L. Pope <br />July 14,1997 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />o <br />~ <br />N <br />w <br /><0 <br />W <br /> <br />river reaches where no replacements or only partial replacements were made to replace out-of- <br />priority depletions to senior surface water rights in Colorado. . <br /> <br />Table 3 shows the remaining stream depletions caused by irrigation pumping in excess of the <br />pre-Compact entitlements which were not replaced by making replacements to senior surface <br />water rights in Colorado. These stream depletions were computed using the wellhead depletions <br />shown in Table 2 with the Ground Water Accounting Model. Please note that in Reaches 14, 15, <br />and 16, replacements to senior surface water rights in Colorado replaced 9.68% of the stream <br />depletions caused by pumping affecting those reaches. This percentage reflects the fact that there <br />was a call by a Colorado surface water right in those three reaches on 3 of the 31 days during <br />May. The remaining depletions shown in Table 3 are the estimated stream depletions caused by <br />irrigation pumping in excess of the pre-Compact entitlements remaining after replacements were <br />made to senior surface water rights in Colorado. Table 3 also shows the estimated depletions to <br />usable Stateline flow, which were calculated using the assumptions in paragraph 5.B of the <br />Resolution, and the replacements to Stateline flows which were made during the month. <br /> <br />No deliveries or releases were made from the Offset Account during the month of May, 1997. As <br />of June I, 1997, there were 481.95 acre-feet being stored in the offset account. <br /> <br />Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional infonnation. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />A- IV/A- <br /> <br />Steven J.
