Dear Compact Administration Members:

I received the enclosed notification of the City of Lamar's intent to utilize John Martin Reservoir
to regulate releases of Frying Pan-Arkansas Project water for municipal use. As per the
Administration's instructions to me at the December 12, 1989 meeting, I am forwarding this to
the Administration members for your consideration. It is my understanding that the City and
the Operations Secretary are to consider the Administration's approval to have been granted
unless objection is received from either or both states comprising the Administration, by the
Operations Secretary within a three-week notice period. Whereas, I received this notice in my
office on June 15, 1994, I will expect any objection to be filed with me by close of business July
6, 1994, otherwise thereafter I will allow the proposed operation to commence.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter,

Sincerely,

~IIJ)~

Steven J. Witte
Arkansas River Compact Administration
Operations Secretary
