RE: Report of Colorado Pumping and Offset Account Operations by Substitute Water Supply
Plans for the Period April 1,1998 to November 30, 1998

Dear Mr. Pope and Ms. Clay:

The purpose of this letter is to provide a report of the operations of five Substitute Water Supply
Plans (SWSP) approved by the Colorado State Engineer which have been required to deliver a
portion of their replacement water to the Offset Account created by the Resolution Concerning
an Offset Account in John Martin Reservoir for Colorado Pumping As Amended March
30, 1998 ("Resolution"). This requirement is based on the fact that the depletions caused by the
operations covered by these plans are estimated to produce depletions to usable Stateline flow
during some months of the year. This letter reports the monthly estimated depletions to usable
Stateline flow caused by the operations covered by each plan and accounts for the replacement of
these estimated depletions by making fully consumable water available to Kansas in the Offset
Account.

The folJowing table shows the estimated depletions for each of the SWSPs which the Colorado
State Engineer has required be replaced using water delivered to the Offset Account.
