1282 . D. Turqooise Lake 1. Inflow Inflow to Turqooise Lake for water year 1980 will be from four sources: Busk-Ivanhoe inlJorts, Fryingpan-Arkansas Project inlJorts, Hanestake Tunnel inlJorts, and native flow of Lake Fbrk Creek. Estimates of inflow fran Busk~Ivanhoe and native Lake Fbrk Creek were made using historical reaords and probability analysis. Hanestake Project plans to inport only 30,000 acre-feet of water row stored in Hanestake Reservoir during the winter of 1979-80 as the Hanestake Tunnel is undergoing repairs. 2. Minimum Release The min:lmIJn release will be maintained at 15 ft3/s, or natural inflow, whichever is less.. 3. Reservoir Operation . Planned operation of Turqooise Lake for water year 1980 was made assum- ing idea1p::>nditions and oonplying with as many requests by involved entities as possible. It is reoogni:<:ed,that in actual operation, circum- stances may ~re SOlIe variation fran the plan. Native inflow to Lake Fbrk Creek and Busk-IVarux,e inports were estimated fran historic records. The Ii:>m:lstake Project plans to inlJort only the 30,000 acre-feet now stored in Hanestake Reservoir. The 9,960 acre-feet of Hanestake water stored in Turqooise Reservoir (September 30, 1979) plus W.Y. 1980 inp:>rts will be released at the request of the Hanestake Project. Under a teirp:>rary contract, the Catlin Canal Caipany may store their Larkspur Ditcl:J. tranSllOuntain diversions..up to 3,000 acre-feet in Fryingpan-. Arkansas Project facilities. Pueblo Water Board ownsone:.half of the Busk-Ivanhoe inports. As in recent years, their half will be bypassed. The other. half of the Busk- Ivanhoe imports, belonging to the High Line Canal Caipany, will be stored in Turqooise Lake under contract. Releases to the High Line Canal Cc:lnpany are patt:erned after previous years. There. are tentative plans for High Line to aa;IUire Pueblo I s half of Busk-Ivanhoe inports for water year,1980. . . . When their wa~ rights are in priority, CF&I St:eel Co:q:>oration stores a ' portion of the native flow in Turqu:>ise Lake up to 1'7,4g0 acre-feet .' under its 1902 storage right.
