The High Line <br />Canal Company water can be stored in Turquoise Lake under contract. <br />Releases to the High Line Canal Company will be made upon denand and are <br />assumed to be similar to denand patterns of previous years. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CF&I Steel Corporation stores the native inflow to Turquoise Lake in <br />priority up to a maximum of 17,400 acre-f~t. CF&I may also store <br />3 ft3js fran May 15 through September 15, lnot to exceed 738 acre-feet, <br />this water must be released fran Turquoise Lake by Novanber 1. <br /> <br />Water released fran Turquoise Lake, in excess of either instream minimum <br />fl= or flow to meet downstream senior rights, along Lake Fork Creek and <br />on the Arkansas River above its confluence with Lake Creek, will be <br />diverted into the Mt. Elbert Conduit, flow through Mt. Elbert p=erplant, <br />and then be released to the Arkansas Riveli fran Twin Lakes via Lake <br />Creek. <br /> <br />Table 11 and Exhibit 12 show the proposed I operation of Turquoise Lake in <br />water year 1983. <br /> <br />E. Federal Fish Hatchery and Halfm:;Jon Diversion <br /> <br />The Federal Fish Hatchery near Leadville, . Colorado, will be supplied 3 <br />flCM-through Fryingpan-Arkansas Project water at a rate of up to 6.7 ft js <br />as has been done in past years. This flcM is released fran Turquoise <br />Lake through Mt. Elbert Conduit to the fi~h hatchery and then into the <br />Arkansas River and later stored less apprlbpriate transit losses in . <br />Pueblo Reservoir. . <br /> <br />The planned operation of Halfmoon ~iversion is to divert all the flow up <br />to the maximum diversion of 150 ft js which is in excess of the downstream <br />call on Halfiroon Creek or the instream minimum fl=. <br /> <br />When water is bein:J diverted at Halfiroon ?iversion, the fl= fran Sugar <br />IDaf Dam will be regulated to allow the *imum diversion at Halfiroon. <br />The diverted flow will pass through Mt.

Elbert Forebay will be ope\:-ated to maximize jXJWer genera- <br />tion. Twin Lakes will always maintain suf;ficient water in storage to <br />fill Mt. Elbert Forebay and at the sarre t:pne provide sufficient capacity <br />to allow the evacuation of the full, one day demand fran Mt. Elbert <br />Forebay. At no time will the water surface elevation in TWin Lakes be <br />less than 9168.7 feet. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />20 <br />
