<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />flll <br />On November 21, 1995. Reclamation received Kansas' issues to be reviewed and their <br />recommended methodologies for conducting the review on November 17, 1995. <br />The District, Colorado, Kansas, Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and Reclamation all <br />identified issues to be reviewed. The Corps' one issue to amend the operating principles to <br />allocate the excess storage capacity to the fishery or recreation pool and a provision for filling the <br /> <br />enlarged recreation pool was a common issue among all the parties. Other than the Corps, the <br /> <br />parties requested that the operations for delivery of stock water be reviewed. Colorado requested <br /> <br />that the operating p.rinciples be amended as recommended by the previous review and supported <br /> <br />the review requests of the District and the City of Trinidad. <br /> <br /> <br />Kansas requested a review of all hydrological operations to assure that (1) storage under <br /> <br />the Model right has been limited to 20,000 acre feet each year; (2) the practice of rollover has <br /> <br />been discontinued; (3) winter flows are stored under the Model storage right; (4) diversions to <br /> <br />Project lands have not exceeded the irrigation requirement; and (5) exchanges have not depleted <br /> <br />the inflow to John Martin Reservoir. Kansas also requested that the irrigated acreage be <br /> <br /> <br />reviewed. <br /> <br />The District identified 10 separate issues for review. Several of the issues would be more <br /> <br /> <br />appropriately reviewed in a review of the Purgatoire River Conservancv District Operating <br /> <br />Criteria or a review of Contract No. 9-07-70-W0095 between Reclamation and the District. At <br /> <br />least three of the issues identified by the District involve methodologies for conducting the review <br /> <br />and not an issue to be reviewed. The one issue that had not been identified by the other entities <br /> <br />above is to review whether or not conditions (d) and (e) of House Document No. 325, 84th <br /> <br /> <br />Congress, 2nd Session, (RD. No. 325) could be implemented at this time. Reclamation agreed <br /> <br />8 <br />
