Pope <br />August 4,1997 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 2 <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 pwnping 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 n.ote that in Reaches 14,15, <br />and 16, replacements to senior surface water rights in Colorado replaced 10% of the stream . <br />depletions caused by pwnping affecting those reaches. This percentage reflects the fact that.there <br />was a ca1lbya Colomdo surface water right in those three reaches on 3 of the 30 days during <br />June. The remaining depletions shown in Tllble 3 are the estimated stream depletions caused by . <br />irrigation pwnping 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 asswnptions in paragraph 5.B of the <br />Resolution, and the replacements to Stateline flows which were made during the month. <br /> <br />A delivery of water to the Offset Account was made during the month ofJune, 1997, This <br />delivery was described in my letter to the Kansas Chief Engineer dated June 2, 1997 and netted <br />684.8 acre-feet offullyconswnable water into the Offset Account. A release of water was also <br />made from the Offset Account during the month of June, 1997. This release was requested by the <br />Kansas Chief Engineer and was described in my letter to him dated July 16, 1997. This release <br />resulted in a credit of 572.9 acre-feet which will be applied against depletions to usable Stateline <br />flows caused by the Colorado well users that placed the water in the Offset Account. This release <br />removed all water from the Offset Account. As of June 30, 1997, there was no water being stored <br />in the Offset Account. <br /> <br />Please contact me if you have any questions orrequire additional information. <br /> <br />.. .....- .-cc...cccc.----.~c1r1iiCerely, ... <br /> <br />1-~' ....>. <br /> <br />~Jlj;g <br /> <br />Steven J, Witte <br />Division Engineer <br />Colorado Division of Water Resources <br /> <br />3 Tables <br /> <br />cc: Mark Rude <br />John Draper <br />Dale Book <br />Hal Simpson <br />Dennis Montgomery <br />Bill Howland <br /> <br />Larry E.
