Operation of the Frying Pan-Arkansas Project Would Not Interfere With <br />The Water Supplies of Any Of The Following Projects If They Were In <br />Existence and Operating: Cliffs-Divide Projects. Potential Homestake <br />and Eagle River Diversions. Potential Industrial Demands and Increas- <br />ed Demands From Existing Ditches Near Aspen. <br />If these demands for water had been in existence during the <br />1934-1954 period Aspen Reservoir would have been called upon to replace <br />Frying Pan-Arkansas diversions in one year of the period and In the amount <br />of 4,000 acre-feet. Replacement would be required in two other years in <br />amounts not to exceed 1,000 acre-feet. This minor increase in replace- <br />ment requirements is due to the fact that in the low water supply months <br />the diversions from the Frying Pan-Arkansas would be drastically limited, <br />if not entirely eliminated, by the fish flow requirements of the Operat- <br />ing Agreement. <br />'4-. Inc;o:eased -Independence -Pass Diversions_Under_Water S,upply Require- <br />ments in Paragraph 3 Would Require But Limited Replacement From <br />Storage. <br />The Frying Pan-Arkansas plan proposes an exchange of water for <br />some of the Independence Pass diversions in order to augment the fish <br />flows above the town of Aspen. If this exchange is effected the maximum <br />replacement required for diversions would be 2,400 acre-feet and would <br />occur in a year such as 1934. In the remaining twenty years of the per. <br />iod the requirement would range between 0 and 2,000,acre-feet with an <br />average of 700 acre-feet. <br />If the fish water exchange with Independence Pass were not <br />
