Transfer of the storage decree of the Model Land <br />and Irrigation Company, for 20,000 acre feet annually, from <br />the present site to the proposed Trinidad Reservoir. <br />b. Storage in Trinidad Reservoir of f~ood flows <br />originating on Purgatoire River above the dam site which <br />would otherwise spill from John Martin Reservoir. <br /> <br />c. Storage in Trinidad Reservoir of .he winter flows <br /> <br />of Purgatoire River historically diverted for winter <br />irriQation of project lands. <br />d. Requlation in Trinidad Reservoir of summer flows <br />historically diverted to project lands provided that future <br />stream flow records disclose such further regulation would <br />not result in material depletion of the flow now available <br />to John Martin Reservoir; or that any material increase in <br /> <br />depletion be compensated by suitable replacement to lands <br />served by John Martin Reservoir. <br />e. Storage in Trinidad Reservoir of all flood flows <br /> <br />originating on Purgatoire River above the reservoir other <br /> <br />than those specified in condition b, provided that suitable <br /> <br /> <br />replacement is made to John Martin Reservoir to the extent <br /> <br /> <br />that such storage in Trinidad Reservoir would result in <br /> <br /> <br />material depletion of the inflow from Purgatoire River <br />
