, 11)01 , '- ~ II" 1 . Using these reoords and available records of the Roaring Fork at Aspen (1911-1921 aDd 1935-date) and Roaring Fork at Gleuwood Springs (1911-date) correlation ourves were prepared for the period of conourrent reoord. These correlation ourves were then used with the disoharge reoords of the Roaring Fork to estimate'the flows of the Frying Pannat Norrie and at Thamasville during the years when no reoords were available on the Frying Pan River. The historio flows at the Ruedi site were estimated from the flows at Thamasv1l1e by adding an appropriate figure for the runoff from the small drainage area between the gage and the damsi te. The runoff originating above the colleotion system was estimated from the flaws at Norrie. by making an appropriate 'reduction for the estimated inflow between the colleotion system ljnd the gages. In determining the divertible flow, reductions were made from the estimated total flow '9.t the collection site as fo Haws: (a) Winter flow Deoember to Maroh, inclusive. (b) Bypass of 30 cfs for fish and down.stream requiremmts. (c) Flood flaws in excess of tunnel capacity (800 cfs). (d) Average 5,000 acre-feet divertible by Carlton tunnel. 17. The allooation of storage spaoe in the Ruedi reservoir site was made between the Blue-South Platte Projeot and the Gunnison-Arkansas Project on the basis of the proportionate amount needed for replaoement purposes of the two projeots. 18. There was considerable discussion of the operations of the Green Mountain reservoir of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project in connecti on with the Ruedi reservoir site of the Blue-South platte and Gunnison-Arkansas prospective projects. Considerable apprehension was expressed that the benefits to be received by the ~stern Slope interests from the 152,000. acre-feet of storage capacity in the Green Mountain Reservoir would be im- paired by the proposed operation of the Ruedi reservoir and the Blue-South Platte and Gunnison-Arkansas Projects. 19. Upon motion made by Mr. Beise and seconded by Mr. Delaney, the canmittee -unanimously adopted a resolution as follows: "Resolved that tho benefits and rights of the Vlestern Slope in Green Mountain Reservoir, as defined in Senate Document 80 (75th Congress, 1st Session), shall not be impaired by the first phase of the Gunnison-Arkansas Project." 20. The discussion disclosed the fact that the studies made to date by the Bureau of Reclamation for replacement storage considered only the present and fUture agricultural (irrigation) requirements in Western Colorado. In the absence of specific data on requirements for industrial 6
