At several different places?, it is stated that it is possible for offstream storage credits to be <br />developed between California and Nevada even without the rule. Please explain this. <br /> <br />5.. At no point does the EA discuss water wheeling or storage of water in tributaries. The Bill <br />Williams River, and its Alamo Dam, is possibly a vast unused storage space. Arizona may not <br />wheel this water through Lake Havasu to the CAP canal because; once the river reaches Lake <br />Havasu, it becomes mainstem water. Could Arizona store water in Alamo for Nevada? This <br />would be an "in lieu of' storage issue. Arizona could hold water in Alamo for Nevada and not <br />divert it through OAP. Then, it could release water from Alamo, wheel it through Havasu under <br />this rule, while Nevada increases its diversion from Lake Mead. Is this a backdoor attempt to <br />allow water wheeling? <br /> <br />Again, thank you for considering our comments. I look forward to receiving a much <br />expanded analysis of this role in the future. <br /> <br />s~ <br /> <br />Or f"'~ <br /> <br />Tom Myers, Ph.D. <br /> <br />7DEAat 10, 14,and 17. <br /> <br />Water Resources Research and Consulting <br />
