<br />Annual Report For 1988 <br /> <br />1987. Nee No She headgate had small leaks and safety people <br />asked for core samples to be taken; no report is yet available. <br />The surtace of gates will be cleaned. As only two of the four <br />gates operate, they will attempt to fix one more. The question <br />of winter storage was asked, and as of March 1, there was <br />16,336 acre feet, after 35% deduction. <br />Bill Howland then gave a report: John Martin had a good <br />water year, the fifth in a row. He considers the winter storage <br />program a very good tool. The lawsuit between Kansas and <br />Colorado is still in process of gathering information. He urged <br />everyone to co-operate as information is very valuable. The <br />time table has been pushed back; no trial for at least another <br />two years. <br />We have a new water commissioner; Dan Neuhold from <br />Lamar. He was scheduled to be in attendance, but because of <br />weather/road conditions in the mountains, was not available. <br />In 1987 the Corp of Engineers released 200,000 from flood <br />pool. There was a record elevation in 1987, but no content <br />record, because of siit after the 1965 flood. He did not feel that <br />there would be a flood release this year, as there is 30,000 acre <br />feet behind last year. <br />Jim Rogers, our representative in the Colorado-Kansas <br />Compact was then introduced and he gave a short report. <br />There was a meeting in February in Denver between Colorado <br />and Kansas and the Trinidad reservoir was explained to Kan- <br />sas. The next meeting will be in April. They tentatively agreed <br />to look at Pueblo Dam, and this can be opened for review. <br />Dr. Lynn Johnson, C.U. from Denver, was introduced. He <br />heads a project on the lakes in Kiowa County. A study of the <br />feasibility of a state recreation area. He commemted that the <br />Amity system is very interesting historically and that he had <br />not found a better way to handle the water than they were now <br />doing. He asked if the Amity was interested in pursuing more <br />details and further study. If they are not, the other interested <br />parties, have no further avenues to go. He was asked about the <br />dollars in recreation versus farming and he did not have any <br />figures to disclose. <br /> <br />P2 <br />
