I In maintaining the above miniullUll standards, the project diversions \ shall be regulated, so far as is practicable, in such a manner that the '~,: North Fork of the Fryin"'pan River, ti,e Fryingpan River, and each of the tributaries of tho~e streams, shall contribnte to the residual streamflows required by those minimUlll standards quantities of water ,'"..... . in proportion to their na.tural contributions. (b) For storage in Ruedi Reservoir to the extent of its actual capacity, which is to be not less than 100,000 acre-feet. (c) For 3,000 acre-feet lmnually, to the extent that it is available in excess of (a) and (b) aboye, or snch part thereof as may be required, to be deliyel'ed to the Twin Lakes Reservoir & Canal Co. in exchange for equiva.!ent rclcascs froIll thc hcadwaters of the Roaring Fork River which would otherwise be diyerted through such Twin Lakes Rcser- voir & Caual Co. collection and di\'ersion system. (d) For any other benetkilL! nse in western Colorad,o in accordance withconrt decree, bnt not herein col1templated. (2) The effectuation of the aboye principles requires concurrent Fryingpan-Arkansas project diversion and Ruedi Heservoir storage . to be aecomplished in the manner following: The State engineer amlUally shall collect pertinent data, including information pertain- ing to sno\\'[Jllck and all other availahle evidence, and shall thereafter so dhicle alld apportion the surface rUllufI as to achieve, a.s nearly as possible, the foregoing division of wa.ter and. the maximllIll of con- current diversions and storage. The diversions herein contemplated shall be on the basis of a water year hereby defined as t.hat interim of October 1 throngh the following September 30. 10. For the protection of recreat.ional values, including fishing, on t.he Fryingpan River below Ruedi Reservoir, releases of water from said reservoir, not to exceed the strealU inflow, shall be made so that the st.reamflow immediately below the junction of the Fryingpan River and Rocky Fork sha.llnot be reduced below 30 c.f.s. from Novem- ber 1 to April 30, and 110 c.f.s. from May 1 to October 30, or as actual , I experience or court decree shall hereafter dictate. 11. An appropriate written contl'l1ct may be lIlade whereby Twin Lakes Reservoir & Canal Co. shall refrain from diyerting water whenever t.he natmal flow of the Roaring Fork River and its tribu- ta.ries shall be only suffic.ient to mainta.in a How equal to or less than .that required to ma.intain the recommended average flows in the Roar- ing Fork River immediately above its confluence with Difficult Creek in a quantity proportionate to the respective natural flow of the Roar- ing Fork River. The recommended average flows a.bove mentioned are flows in quant,ities eCJual to those recommended as a minimum immediately above its confluence wit.h Difficult Creek according to
