<br />. <br /> <br />i3~)0 <br /> <br />September to optimize the downstream fishery. These flows will be <br />maintained under nonnal oondi tions. If oondi tions warrant, the outflow <br />during' these IlOnths may be adjusted to oonserve water. <br /> <br />If water is sold to entities downstream, the outflow fran the reservoir <br />will be adjusted to the situation at the tine of delivery and will be <br />included in the overall operation. <br /> <br />Table 4 and Exhibit 7 show the anticipated operation of Ruedi Reservoir <br />during water year 1981. <br /> <br />C. Western Slope Cbllection System <br /> <br />In 1981, there will be 16 diversion mints on Western Slope Cbllection <br />System in operation. Cbnstruction of Granite creek Syphon has been <br />carpleted, and water will be diverted from Granite Creek Diversion for <br />the first tiIre this year. <br /> <br />This year ~ have the capability to exchange a max.irm.m1 of 3,000 acre- <br />feet of water with the '!Win Lakes Reservoir and Canal CaTpany. The <br />water is to be delivered to the o:xrpany at '!Win Lakes in exchange, for <br />the o:xrpany making equivalent releases fran the headwaters of the ROaring <br />Fbrk River which -.ould otheIWi.se be diverted through such Twin Lakes <br />Reservoir and Canal CDrrpany oollection and diversion system. If the <br />exchange is inplE!11e11ted, it will essentially be operated in accordance <br />with principle II of the Operating Principles for the Fryingpan-Arkansas <br />Project with only minor rrcdifications to optimize the use of the water <br />for enhancement of the fishery of the Ibaring Fbrk River. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br />Turquoise Lake <br /> <br />1. Inflow <br /> <br />Inflow to Turquoise I,ake for water year 1981 will be fran four sources: <br />Busk-Ivanhoe inports, Fryingpan-Arkansas Project imports, Hcmestake <br />Tunnel inports, and native flow of Lake Fbrk creek. Estimates of inflow <br />from Busk-Ivanhoe and natiVe Lake Fork Creek ~re rrade using historical <br />records and probability analysis. K::mestake Project plans to inport <br />22,000 acre-feet of water I'PW stored in Hanestake Reservoir. <br /> <br />2 . Minirm..un Release <br />The minimun release is 15 ft3/s, or natural inflow, whichever is less. <br /> <br />3. Reservoir Operation <br /> <br />Planned operation of TurgtPise Lake for water year 1981 was made assum- <br />ing ideal conditions and CCllplying with as many requests by involved . <br />entities as possible. It is recognized that in actual operation, cir~ <br />stances may require sorre variation fran the plan. <br /> <br />Native inflow to Lake Fork creek and Busk-Ivanh:le inports ~re estimated <br />fram historic records. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />7 <br />
