<br />RIO GRANDE COMPACT
<br />
<br />ARTICLE V
<br />If at any time It should be the unanimous finding and determination of the CommIs-
<br />sion that because of changed physical conditions, or for any other reason, reliable records
<br />are not obtainable, or cannot be obtained, at any of the stream gagIng stations herein
<br />referred to, such stations may, with the unanimous approval of the CommissIon, be aban-
<br />doned, and with such approval another station, or other stations, shall be established and
<br />new measurements shall be substituted which, in the unanimous opinion of the Commis-
<br />sian, will result in substantially the same results so far as the rights and obligations to deliver
<br />water are concerned, as would have existed if such substitution of stations and measure-
<br />menls had not been so made, (Note: See Resolution of Commission printed elsewhere In
<br />this report.)
<br />
<br />ARTICLE VI
<br />Commencing with the year following the effective date of this Compact, all credils
<br />and debits of Colorado and New Mexico shall be computed for each calendar year; pro-
<br />vided, that In a year of actual spill no annual credits nor annual debits shall be computed for
<br />that year. ,
<br />
<br />In the case of Colorado, no annual debit nor accrued debit shall exceed 100,000
<br />acre feet, except as either or both may be caused by holdover storage of water In reservoirs
<br />constructed atter 1937 In the drainage basin of the Rio Grande above lobatos. WIthin the
<br />physical limitations of storage capacity In such reservoirs, Colorado shall retafnwater in
<br />storage at all times to the extent of Its accrued debit.
<br />
<br />In the case of New Mexico, the accrued debit shall not exceed 200.000 acre feet at
<br />any lime, except as such debit may be caused by holdover storage of water In reservoirs
<br />constructed atter 1929 In the drainage basin of the Rio Grande belWeen Lobatos and San
<br />Marcial. Within the physica/limltatlons of storage capacity In such reservoirs, New Mex/co
<br />shall retain water In storage at all limes to the extent of lis accrued debit. In computing the
<br />magnitude of accrued credits or debits, New Mexico shall not be charged with any greater
<br />deb/tin anyone year than the sum of 150,000 acre-feet and all gaIns In the quantity of water
<br />In storage in such year.
<br />
<br />The Commission by unanimous action may authorize the release from storage of
<br />any amounl of waler Which is then being held in storage by reason of accrued debits of Col.
<br />orado or New Mexico; provided, that such water shall be replaCed at the first Opportunity
<br />thereafter.
<br />
<br />In computing the amount of accrued credits and accrued debits of Colorado or
<br />New Mexico, any annual credlls In excess of 150,000 acre feet shall be laken as aqualto
<br />that amount
<br />
<br />In any year in which actual spill occurs, the accrued credIts of Colorado, or New'
<br />Mexico, or both, at the beginning of the year shall be reduced In proportion 10 their respec-
<br />tive credits by the amount of such actual spill; provided that the amount of actual spill shall
<br />be deemed to be increased by the aggregate gain in the amount of water In storage, prior to
<br />the time of spill. In reservoirs above San Marcial constructed atter 1929; provided, further,
<br />that If the Commissioners for the States having accrued credits authorIze the release of part,
<br />or all, of such credits in advance of spill, the amount so released shall be deemed to constl.
<br />tute actual spill.
<br />
<br />In any year In which there Is actual spill of usable water. or at the time of hypolhet-
<br />leal spill thereof, all accrued debits of Colorado, or New Mexico, or both, at the beginning of
<br />the year shall be cancelled,
