18 0991 . CFSI Steel Corporation stores native inflow in the winter months up to 17,400 acre-feet under that corporation's 1902 storage right. Re- leases of CFSI water were assumed to be the same as those occurring in 1972. Fryingpan-Arkansas project imports are based on a probability study, exhibit 2. Those imports are estimated to be as follows: reasonable minimum, 18,000 acre-feet; most probable, 34,000 acre-feet, and reason- able maximum, 52,000 acre-feet. . Water for the inactive pool in Pueblo Reservoir, 30,000 acre-feet, is required in November 1973, At a transmission loss charge of 0.07 per- cent per mile, the additional release required to cover transport loss in the 150 miles between Turquoise Lake and Pueblo Reservoir is 3,150 acre-feet. This and the 8,942-acre-foot inactive pool in Turquoise Lake means that a project ownership of a little over 42,000 acre-feet is required in November 1973. In the 1973 plan, 42,800 acre-feet was considered to be the project ownership at the end of the water year, September 30, 1973. To assure this amount, the amount of water considered delivered to the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District is none under reasonable minimum inflow conditions, 16,000 acre-feet under most probable inflow conditions, and 34,000 acre-feet under reasonable maximum inflow conditions. There was 4,QOO acre-feet remaining credited to project ownership from the 1972 slae of water which was assumed delivered in Ootober, November, and December of the 1973 water year. The volume available for sale in 1973, if any, will be determined at a later date, Table 4 is a tabulation of the water year 1973 proposed operation of Turquoise Lake, and exhibit 7 is a graph of this operation. Western Slope Collection System There are four major diversion points complete on the western slope: Sawyer Creek, Chapman GUlch, South Fork of the Fryingpan River, and Fryingpan River and Marten Creek. Chapman Guloh includes diversion from Sawyer Creek. Transmountain diversions at thesp ?ints will be regulated to the end that no diversions will be made Which will reduce remaining aggregate streamflows to less than those minimum standards contained in the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project Operating Principles. For planning purposes, data from our collection system yield and sizing studies were used to determine the diversions in 1973, Use of these data gave satisfactory results in the 1972 season. It is intended that, throughout the year, all water that is physically available above the minimum fish bypass requirements will be diverted. .
