A definite plan report was completed in November 1976 which indicated a total depletion of 17,100 acre-feet with the water being used for agricultural and municipal and industrial purposes. The present construction schedule (May 1977) indi- cates initial storage and water service will occur in 1981. West Divide Project A feasibility report was prepared in 1966 and the project was authorized by P.L. 90-537 on September 30, 1968. A definite plan report is scheduled for June 1979. Under the feasibility plan depletion would tot~l 76,400 acre- feet with major uses for irrigation, municipal and industrial uses including oil shale. Extensive reformulation of the project plan for the definite plan report scheduled for September 1979 is underway. Present depletion estimates for irrigation and municipal use total 50,000 acre-feet. No con- struction schedules are available, but initial storage and water service could occur about the mid 1980's. San Miguel Project A feasibility report was prepared in 1966 and the project was authorized by P.L. 90-537 on September 30, 1968. A definite plan report is scheduled for May 1979. Present plans estimate depletions at 53,000 acre-feet with major amounts contemplated for irrigation, municipal and industrial uses. State and Federal policy changes indicate modifications in the plans will likely occur but local interest still strongly supports development in the area for agricultural and industrial purposes. No construction schedules are available, but depletions would likely occur in the late 1980's. Denver Expansion, Colorado Springs Expansion. Homestake, Pueblo, Englewood, Independence Pass Expansion After reviewing available data, actual diversion records and other compari- sons, it was concluded that the September 1976 tabulations were generally correct except Colorado Springs Expansion was reduced from 6 MAF to 3 MAF for 1980. Green Mountain M&I New water is not presently available for use from Green Mountain due to slide problems in the reservoir. It is assumed correction would be made before 1990 and allow the use of additional water. 7
