<br />f <br />, <br /> <br />BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF 602(a) <br /> <br />STORAGE REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation for several years has been working on <br /> <br />the problem of developing procedures and a basis for determination <br /> <br />of the amount of 602(a) storage required in any particular year that <br /> <br />would fully reflect the consideration of all of the relevant factors <br /> <br />intended by Public Law 90-537. The material that follows is a status <br /> <br />report on our deliberations to date and hopefully will provide a starting <br /> <br />pOint for the study group to begin the more comprehensive analysis of <br /> <br />all of risks that must be weighed and presented to the Secretary for his <br /> <br />use in making the decision. We have tried to develop a check list <br /> <br />including such variables ranging from projections of Upper Basin <br /> <br />depletions to Lake Mead flood control objectives that are a dimension <br /> <br />of the risk involved. <br /> <br />~/ <br />\~~ <br />~\~ <br />~~ <br /> <br />.,~ <br />
