Ms. Jennifer S. Liridahl, P.E. <br />Page 2 <br />March 10, 2008 <br />water available to offset a river depletion is computed as the net C-BT Project water delivered to the <br />appropriate river re:ach (i.e., water released minus river conveyance shrinkage) multiplied by a yield <br />factor of 50 percent. Administrative conveyance shrinkage cannot be used to replace depletions as <br />stated in the Interirn Rule. As you have indicated in the provided information, the Water Commissioner <br />for the Big Thompson River is not charging river shrinkage for the approximate 8 miles of transit <br />distance, and this should be footnoted on all future submitted accountings. Please send the required <br />accounting to my attention. <br />This approval for the LRM 2008 SWSP is for 9.0 acre feet of leased C-BT Project water for March 1, <br />2008, through October 31, 2008. LRM needs to be aware that the 9.0 acre feet must be delivered from <br />Northern Water re:~ervoirs by the end of the Water Year on October 31, 2008, at which time any <br />undelivered balance of the 9.0 acre feet will be eliminated per Northern Water accounting procedures. <br />LRM must also request and receive approval from Northern Water if additional C-BT Project water <br />supplies greater thin the approved 9.0 acre feet are acquired for depletion replacement during the 2008 <br />SWSP. In addition, if LRM desires to utilize C-BT Project water in a new SWSP after February 2009, <br />LRM must submit a new request. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Alan Berryman <br />Assistant General 1Vlanager -Engineering Division <br />cps <br />cc: Brad Wind <br />Jon Altenhofen <br />Dennis Miller <br />Eric Wilkinson <br />
