<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />v. Additional Requests for Water from Navajo Reservoir <br /> <br />Long-term water service contracts for municipal and industrial uses from <br />Navajo Reservoir involve a projection into the future of estimated water <br />uses and water supplies. The Bureau projection of water supply and <br />depletions from the Navajo Reservoir through the year 2039 is formulated <br />with the consultation of the State of New Mexico. The remaining block of <br />Navajo Reservoir water supply, as identified in the 1984 determination, <br />will still be marketed by the united States and will still be allocated in <br />consultation with the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission. New in- <br />dividual long-term water service contracts would also need the approval of <br />the Congress. <br /> <br />with an increase in the consumptive use of the Upper Basin to 6.0 MAF, the <br />proportionate share for the State of New Mexico of that increase will be <br />22,500 acre-feet per year of depletion. The following is a list of <br />additional municipal and industrial water service requests submitted in a <br />July 10, 1985 letter to the Bureau by the New Mexico Interstate Stream <br />Commission for Navajo Reservoir water when made available. No ranking or <br />priority system has been established at this time and all current and <br />future requests will be addressed equally. <br /> <br />TABLE 4 <br /> <br />Additional Requests for Navajo Reservoir Water Service <br />and/or Contract Extensions <br /> <br />Request <br />Jicarilla Apache Tribe <br />Gallup-Navajo project <br />Paragon Resources <br />Public Service Company <br />of New Mexico <br />Bloomfield Refining <br />Southern Union Refining Co. <br />Farmington Elks Lodge <br /> <br />Amount (Acre-feet) <br />40,000 y <br />24,000 <br />17,000 <br /> <br />Contract Length <br />indefini te <br />indefinite <br />40 years <br /> <br />16,200 <br />340 <br />50 <br />20 <br /> <br />until 2025 <br />until 2025 <br />until 2025 <br />until 2025 <br /> <br />!/ Includes 3,000 acre-feet allowed for in the projected depletions <br />summarized in Appendix I. <br /> <br />20 <br />
