Recognizing the low carryover storage in the Upper Colorado River <br />Basin reservoirs and generally drier than average conditions in 2003, the <br />Service initially set the target flows for the l5-Mile Reach at 250 cfs, <br />However, this target was increased to 450 cfs on August 7, 810 cfs on <br />August 28, and finally to 1,240 cfs on September 18, as hydrologic <br />conditions improved in the basin and it became evident that additional <br />surplus HUP water was available from Green Mountain Reservoir. <br /> <br />A total of72,1 03 af of water was released to support late-summer target <br />flows, This total included 47,526 affrom Green Mountain, 20,534 affrom <br />Ruedi, and 3,757 af from Williams Fork, Wolford Mountain was drawn <br />down to record low levels in 2002 and, in order to build storage, only 286 <br />afwas called for from Wolford Mountain in 2003 because water was <br />available from other sources, <br /> <br />>*34 IA5b <br /> <br />! Lease of I O,825af of water from Ruedi Reservoir through 2012 was <br />completed on June 24, 2003, <br /> <br />34 <br /> <br />IA5el <br /> <br />X! Options were to have been identified in 2003, East Slope water users <br />have filed for a water right on the Colorado River and contracted for water <br />quality studies and has begun site evaluations on a proposed Sulfur Gulch <br />Reservoir which potentially could fulfill the East Slope's future <br />commitment for 5412,5 af,; however, this is still uncertain, Options were <br />to have been identified in 2003, <br />The Colorado River Water Conservation District has acquired water from <br /> <br />2003 RIPRAP Assessment - Page 5 <br />
