<br />Article VI - REVIEW AND AMENDMENT
<br />
<br />These Operating Principles may be subject to review and amendment not more than
<br />once a year at the request of any of the parties' signatory; provided, that at least one
<br />review shall be accomplished within the first 10 years following completion of the Trinidad
<br />Dam and at least one review be accomplished every 10 years thereafter, The primary
<br />object of such reviews will be obtaining optimum beneficial use of water as conditions
<br />change, operating experience is gained, and more technical data become available.
<br />
<br />FIVE CONDITIONS
<br />State of Kansas
<br />
<br />1. All inflows over established Colorado water rights (1,156.05 c.f,s,) be designated
<br />flood flows and released as promptly as downstream conditions permit. The only time
<br />water so designated may be stored in the conservation pool will be when John Martin
<br />Reservoir does not have the capacity to store additional water.
<br />
<br />2. Any subsequent amendment of the !I~perating ilrinciples should be subject to
<br />review and approval of the same interests as provided for in the original procedure,
<br />
<br />3. Assurances that there will be no significant increase in water use which would
<br />result in a depletion of water yield to other Colorado and Kansas water users,
<br />
<br />. 4. That 5 years after beginning operation of the Trinidad Reservoir for irrigation
<br />purposes, the I~perating!ilrinciples be reviewed to determine the effect, if any, the
<br />operation has had on other Colorado and Kansas water users and the principles
<br />amended as necessary. Each 10 years thereafter, reviews should be provided with
<br />amendments as needed.
<br />
<br />5. All operating records be open for inspection by any qualified representative of the
<br />Arkansas River Compact Administration.
