<br />o Jemez Canvon Reservoir Sediment Control Pool
<br />As a result of the partial draining of the sediment control pool, Jemez Canyon
<br />Reservoir was drawn down to a level of approximately 4,500 acre-feet at the end of2000. The
<br />agreements between the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (NMISC) and the Corps
<br />and between the NMISC and the City of Albuquerque governing the existence and operation
<br />of the sediment control pool expired as of December 3 I, 2000 and the ownership of the
<br />remaining water in the sediment control pool reverted back to the City of Albuquerque as of
<br />January 1,2001. Corps representatives stated the Corps currently anticipates that this water
<br />wi II be released during 2001 and the reservoir will thereafter be operated as a normally dry
<br />flood control facility.

<br />San Juan-Chama Proiect Water Storage in EleDhant Butte Reservoir
<br />Reclamation routed San Juan-Chama Project water owned by the City of Albuquerque
<br />for storage in the authorized recreation pool in Elephant Butte reservoir in March and October
<br />2000. The March operation consisted of the storage of 3,700 acre-feet of San Juan-Chama
<br />water in the recreation pool. This routing was completed using Commission approved loss
<br />rates. In October 2000 Reclamation routed 8,473 acre-feet of the City of Albuquerque's San
<br />Juan-Chama Project water to Elephant Butte Reservoir for storage in the authorized
<br />recreational pool. There was no Commission approved loss rate for this routing due to low
<br />natural flow conditions. Reclamation and the NMISC calculated losses associated with this
<br />routing using a water budget approach that incorporated prevailing conditions. These losses
<br />resulted in the delivery of 5,496 acre-feet of the routed water to the recreation pool. The
<br />Engineer Advisers reviewed and accepted the calculations.
<br />
<br />REPORTS OF THE FEDERAL AGENCIES
<br />The second and third days of the Engineer Advisers meeting was attended by
<br />representatives of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
<br />(Service), Reclamation, and U.S, Geological Survey. Details on the items discussed during the
<br />meetings are provided below.
