Final PSOP Implementation Committee Report
Southeastern Colorado Water Activity Enterprise
April 19, 2001

Section 2 - Re-operations Storage

2.1 Operational Details

Current project operating policies and constraints must govern re-operations so that existing
users of the Fry-Ark Project and the Winter Water Storage Program are not adversely
impacted. Current Fry-Ark Project spill priorities and Allocation Principles will be
maintained. Municipal entities that wish to secure re-operations storage, should first sign an
MOA with the District's Enterprise by the June 1,2001 deadline (see Participation Section of
this Report). Then, they will need to execute a contract with the Bureau of Reclamation, once
the authority for such contracts is established. The basic terms of re-operations storage is
outlined below:

I. Municipal entities that are eligible to utilize carryover storage in Project reservoirs for
their Project Water allocations, are eligible to participate in re-operations storage;

2. Municipal entities participating in re-operations contracts will be able to decide how
they wish to use the re-operations space (i.e., for Project or non-Project Water
storage, or both);

3. FV A entities may use re-operations space within the 78,000 acre-feet of space
available for their Project storage;

4. Eligible entities East of Pueblo may use re-operations space within the 37,400 acre-
feet of space available for their Project storage;

5. Eligible entities West of Pueblo may use re-operations space within the 12;400 acre-
feet of space available for their Project storage;

6. Pueblo may use re-operations space within the 31,200 acre-feet of space available for
its Project storage; (may include the Pueblo Board of Water Works storage contract,
which is similar in some, but not all respects, to a re-operations storage contract);

7. Demand for re-operations storage may require the District to make additional
distributions of storage space within the current allocations for the entities located
both East and West of Pueblo; and,

8. Re-operations contracting will not impair the ability of re-operations contractors or
other eligible entities from securing annual If & When storage contracts, as space is
available, and under the terms as established by Reclamation.
