Engineer's Office. Orders to cease the use of water shall be issued, and denial of water delivery to the water users by the Commissioner shall be handled according to the statutes and administrative rules of the State where the non - compliance occurs. Accounting Water rights shall be administered in conformance with the doctrine of prior appropriation, in time, amount, and location based upon available water supply. For accounting purposes, the storage season shall begin on November 1 and end on April 30 of the succeeding year. The direct flow irrigation season shall commence on May 1 and end on October 31. The accounting workbook consists of diversion records, reservoir storage records, annual storage summary and Pot Creek natural flow calculation forms. Sample Accounting Forms are attached as Appendix C. Storage Reservoir storage will be accounted, recorded and reported for each specific water right in each reservoir structure. In order to determine the amount of winter storage available, the total amount of water stored in each reservoir between November 1 and April 30 must be determined. The change in storage during the winter will be determined as the storage amount on or near April 30 minus the storage amount on or near November 1 of the previous year. Any water stored out of priority during this period shall be released to downstream senior water rights upon demand and application to beneficial use. All reservoirs shall only be entitled to one fill per year, unless the right specifically allows for multiple fillings. Storage rights shall only be stored in the reservoir the right was permitted/decreed for unless permission to store at an alternate location is granted by the appropriate State after consultation with the other State. Direct Flow Direct flow water rights shall be distributed according to the List upon demand and application to beneficial use from May 1 through October 31. The water right for the Crouse Ditch allows for the diversion of 4.0 cfs from May 1 through October 31. Utah change application a26313 changed the point of diversion, place of use, and nature /type of use of this water right such that up to 4.0 cfs, in total, can be stored in any combination of Matt Warner, Calder, or Crouse Reservoirs during the same period. Any water available for release to downstream direct flow water rights shall be based on the determination of the natural flow of Pot Creek as outlined below. If, in the determination of both States, water cannot be delivered to a ditch or reservoir in an amount and at a time when it can be put to beneficial use because the natural conditions would cause the water to be lost to the stream, the delivery of such water shall
