<br />~ <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />r~\ <br />'J <br /> <br />~ <br />, <br /> <br />00J]06 <br /> <br />Water Supplv Studies - Yellow Jacket Project and Rocky Mountain Power Company <br /> <br />Project on the White River, Colorado <br /> <br />The purpose of the studies is to determine the effects of the activation <br /> <br />of the Meeker Power Ditch water right upon the water supplies of the yellow <br /> <br />Jacket Project. <br /> <br />The studies consist of two parts: Condition A was done by the U.S.B.R. <br /> <br />in Grand Junction and assumes the Yellow Jacket Project to be senior to the <br /> <br />Rocky Mountain Power Company Project. Condition B studies were done by the <br /> <br />C.W.C.B. and assumed the 1957 filings of the Rocky Mountain Power Company to be <br /> <br />senior to the yellow Jacket project and the 1964 Rocky Mountain Power Company <br /> <br />Project filings to be junior to the Yellow Jacket project. In both conditions <br /> <br />A and B, three cases were studied: <br /> <br />Case I - The Meeker Power Ditch not active. <br /> <br />Case II - The Meeker Power Ditch active at its original location. <br /> <br />Case III - The Meeker Power Ditch rights transferred to the Highland Ditch. <br /> <br />The shortages in water supply which would occur to both the Yellow Jacket <br /> <br />Project and the Rocky Mountain Power Company were determined for the three cases <br /> <br />of both conditions A and B. <br /> <br />With the exception of the assumption of seniority of water rights of the <br /> <br />two projects in question, the assumptions used by the Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br />for condition A were used for Case I, II, and III. These assumptions are as <br /> <br />follows: <br /> <br />Case I - Without 180 c.f.s. power decree. <br /> <br />1. Storage features <br /> <br />A.
