Kansas called for release of its entire account during a single run from June 24 to July 28, 1993 resulting in a release of 27,298.33 acre-feet. A separate transit loss account release of 1,953.15 acre-feet was made to support deliveries of Kansas account water to the Stateline. Operations of the Kansas and transit loss accounts are summarized in Tables 9, 10, and 11, and detailed on a daily basis in Appendices 8-12 and 8-13. The procedure used to calculate deliveries of requested releases is described in an annual agreement between the states. The Stateline flow attributed to Kansas demands for releases from JMR is calculated using a lag/rundown period to account for the transit time between JMR and the Stateline. Generally, deliveries begin 2 days after the release from JMR commences and continue for up to 7 days following the end of the release. The agreement for 1993, dated Dec. 8, 1992, states in part: "3. Credit for delivery to Kansas will stop at the Slateline 7 days after the end of the run at JMR. No credit for over delivery will be determined for a run that exceeds 100% of the Kansas account release. 4. When the daily average flow at the State line exceeds the demand, delivery will be credited at not to exceed 105% of the demand." The total Slateline flow on days of Kansas demands, determined pursuant to the annual agreement by the Operations Secretary using provisional data was 34,841.00 acre-feet. This flow was revised to 34,619 acre-feet when USGS discharge records were finalized and published. Of this Stateline flow, 27,298.33 acre-feet was detennined pursuant to the annual agreement to be the credited delivery from the Kansas account.

The November 1992 release was the reallocation of excess transit loss account water to the other Section II accounts, and was not a physical release from the reservoir. The ratio used for this reallocation was modified to compensate the other accounts for an inadvertent error in failing to charge the Amity Canal's Section III account the 35% transit loss account charge on inflows that it received in May 1992.
