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 II, 12, <br />and 13, replacements to senior surface water rights in Colorado replaced 100% of the stream <br />depletions caused by pumping affecting those reaches since there was a call by a Colorado <br />surface water right in those reaches on all of the days in October. Also note that in Reaches 14, <br />15, and 16, replacements (0 senior surface water rights in Colorado replaced 19% of the stream <br />depletions caused by pumping affecting those reaches since there was a call by a Colorado <br />surface water right in those reaches on 6 days in October. The remaining depletions shown in <br />Table 3 are the estimated stream depletions caused by irrigation pumping in excess of the pre- <br />Compact entitlements remaining after replacements were made to senior surface water rights in <br />Colorado. Table 3 also shows the estimated depletions to usable Stateline flow which were <br />calculated using the assumptions in paragraph 5.B of the Resolution, and the replacements to <br />Stateline flows which were made during the month. <br /> <br />A delivery of water to the Offset Account was initiated during the month of July, 2000 by <br />LA WMA using consumptive use credits from their ownership in the Highland Canal. This <br />delivery netted 441.77 acre-feet of fully consumable water into the Offset Account during <br />October, 2000. As of October 31,2000, there were 1059.10 acre-feet being stored in the offset <br />account. <br /> <br />Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />A-/~ij~ <br /> <br />Steven 1.
