Article IV.D.2. of the operating principles provides for an allowance for release of <br /> <br />stock water and for the District to exercise the direct flow water ri~hts and District storage rights <br /> <br />only at such times to assure maximum oossible storage of reservoir inflow and equitably distribute <br /> <br />this stock water allowance during the nonirrigation season. The District storage right includes the <br /> <br />ioint use 0001 by definition. Further clarification can be found in Part c'2,(a)(2) which provides <br /> <br />that all reservoir inflow storable in the unused sediment capacitv during the nonirrigation season <br /> <br />shall be stored and credited to the Project accounts. <br /> <br />@The allocation of the excess storage capacity in Trinidad Reservoir to the fishery and <br /> <br />recreation pool and the initial filling and maintenance oqhis pool in accordance with the <br /> <br />temporary amendment of the operating principles will not interfere with the District water shlPply <br /> <br />. nor will it increase depletions to downstream Colorado and Kansas water users. The equal <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />volume exchange at Trinidad Reservoir and the Las Animas gauge is a benefit to Arkansas River <br /> <br />water users downstream of John Martin Reservoir due to the potentially large differences in water <br /> <br />conveyance losses in the Purgatoire River from Trinidad Reservoir to its mouth and in the <br /> <br />Arkansas River from the Las Animas gauge to the mOJ.lth of the Purgatoire River. The exchange <br />. <br /> <br />should be modified to account for the differences in the conveyance losses to the mouth of the <br /> <br />Purgatoire River. <br /> <br />(VThe releases for stockwater did not result in storage in ex ss of20,000 a . e feet on <br /> <br />anyone day in the Model Storage right in water year 1992 including canyover nor did the <br /> <br />accumulated storage exceed the single filling limitation of20,000 acre feet per water year in water <br /> <br />year 1992 under Reclamation's interpretation of the operating principles.
