<br />001101 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Englewood would not be prejudicial to the interest "of the District since the Englewood <br /> <br />decrees pre-date Green Mountain Reservoir. If, however, the results of the daily <br /> <br />L <br /> <br />analysis by Mr. Tipton indicate a greater effect than the foregoing estimate, it might <br />be desirable for the District to negotiate with the City of Englewood for some further <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />operating stipulation covering the minor influence on Green Mountain Reservoir replace- <br /> <br />ment releases. <br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />The following conclusions are made from the results of analyses and from study of the <br /> <br />settlement offers of Denver, Colorado Springs and Englewood:-- <br /> <br />1. Analysis of historical annual flows of the Blue River shows that, ,lith all <br /> <br />flows above Dillon being completely diverted, sufficient water accrues to <br /> <br />the River below Dillon to normally fill Green Mountain Reservoir. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />2. Analysis of historical month~ flows of the Blue River, together with <br /> <br />. <br />~ <br /> <br />assumed full operation of Colorado-Big Thompson diversions and assumed <br /> <br />diversions by Denver to the extent of her direct 788 cfs decree, shows <br /> <br />the average annual water SU?p~ available at Green Mountain Reservoir to <br /> <br />be in excess of 224,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />3. Analysis of daily flows and daily operations during the two low water <br /> <br />years of 1940 and 1954 shows:-- <br /> <br />(1) Replacement requirements from Green Mountain Reservoir <br /> <br />of less than 35,000 acre-feet annually, including both <br />the fulfillment of Shoshone and Cameo (head of Grand <br /> <br />Valley) demands. <br /> <br />(2) Diversions above Dillon by Denver and Colorado Springs <br /> <br />are controlled by the operation of the Shoshone decree <br /> <br />L <br /> <br />and can be made without diminishing the District's ability <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />to store in and make required replacements from Green <br />Mountain Reservoir. <br /> <br />-13- <br />
