<br />}'163 <br /> <br />~\ <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />on March 15, 1989, termination of the Hoehne Ditch Company's right to divert water during the <br /> <br />non-irrigation season for stock watering and incidental domestic uses and this water be returned r-~ <br /> <br /> <br />to the District water supply. The Hoehne Ditch Company had historically diverted 200 to 300 b., !t-ocJv.... <br /> <br /> <br />acre feet during the nonirrigating season for stockwater purposes. Therefore, the volumetric limit <br /> <br />for stock water releases should be reduced to 1200 to 1300 acre feet, including the river gains <br /> <br />from Trinidad Dam to the Trinidad gauge during the non-irrigation season. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The operating principles should be modified to ~RLoject operations for stock water <br /> <br />releases during the non-irrigation season and to reduce the total stock water allowance in <br /> <br />accordance with the Court-ordered termination of the Hoehne Ditch Company's stock water <br />< <br /> <br />diversion rights during the non-irrigation season. The o~erating principles should only be cha~ged <br /> <br />so that the general interpretation is the same as Reclamation's interpretation above and the <br /> <br />. equivalent volume of 5.0 cfs as measured at the Trinidad gauge inclusive of river gains from <br /> <br />Trinidad Dam should be educed to 4.0 cfs t account for the termination of the Hoehne Ditch <br /> <br />Company's right to divert stock water during the non-irrigation season. <br /> <br />r 3. Irrigable Lands ~ <br />?-- <br />The operating principles limit the Project irrigl!ted acreage to 19717 acres of class I, .2 <br />" -.-c:::::- <br /> <br />and 3 lands. As reported in the 1988 review of operating principles report, the total irrigated <br />- - <br /> <br />acreage of 19717 acres had not been exceeded but the district was technically in violation of the <br /> <br />operating principles because lands other than class 1, 2, and 3 were being irrigated. The <br /> <br />Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 exempted Corps projects from Reclamation Law. Since land <br />"" <br /> <br />requirements of the Trinidad Project. The 1986 amendment of the contract between Reclamation <br /> <br />~ <br />~. <br />c.e <br /> <br />classification is a requirement of Reclamation Law, the 1882 Act eliminated land classification <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />18 <br />
