<br />4.0 EXISTING RESERVOIR DEMANDS <br /> <br />Water is currently available for lease from two primary West Slope reservoirs. These facilities are Green <br />Mountain Reservoir located on the Blue River, and Ruedi Reservoir situated on the Fryingpan River. Both <br />structures are operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. <br /> <br />Water supply contracts for water stored in Ruedi Reservoir and in Green Mountain Reservoir provide <br />valuable insight regarding the location and amount of existing demand for reservoir water. Currently, the <br />two reservoirs have a combined total contract demand or obligation that exceeds 50,000 acre feet per <br />year. A summary of existing and proposed contracts for these two reservoirs, as of the end of June 1995, <br />is provided in Tables 4.1 and 4.2. Specific contract demands are summarized in Attachment 1. <br /> <br />4.1 GREEN MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR <br /> <br />Fifty contracts for Green Mountain Reservoir water have been granted, totaling 4,964 acre feet. Additional <br />contracts for 5,261 acre feet of water have been proposed in 13 pending contracts, resulting in a total <br />pending contracted amount of 10,225 acre feet (Table 4.1). <br /> <br /> TABLE 4.1 <br /> GREEN MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR <br /> EXISTING CONTRACT DEMAND (ACRE FEET PER YEAR) <br /> Eagle River Roaring Fork Colorado River Colorado River Total <br /> Basin River Basin above Dotsero below Dotsero <br />rn <br />1-1- Municipal 1,099 83 1,252 14 2,448 <br />zu <br />w-o: Industrial 1,979 0 132 0 2,111 <br />0::0:: <br />0::1- Other 47 0 298 60 405 <br />:JZ <br />uO <br />U Total 3,125 83 1,682 74 4,964 <br />rn <br />(!)I- Municipal 8 0 3,800 200 4,008 <br />zU <br />--0: Industrial 1,100 0 20 0 1,120 <br />00:: <br />ZI- Other 0 0 120 13 133 <br />WZ <br />0-0 <br />u Total 1,108 0 3,940 213 5,261 <br /> rGrand TotalT 4,233 I 83 I 5,622 287 I 10,225 <br /> <br />10 <br />
