ARKANSAS RIVER COMPACT (cont.) <br />c. When water stored in the conservation pool is less than 20,000 acre-feet, <br />releases to Kansas shall not exceed 400 cfs and concurrent releases shall <br />not exceed 1000 cfs. (Art. V) <br />6. When the supply in the conservation pool falls below a 14 -day supply level, the <br />Compact Administration will notify the State Engineer of Colorado of the date when <br />the supply will be exhausted, and at that time, Colorado priorities above and below <br />the dam will be administered together. (Art. V) <br />7. When water is available in the conservation pool at John Martin Reservoir, Colorado <br />users above the dam shall not be effected by priorities located below John Martin <br />Reservoir. <br />(Art. V) <br />8. When Colorado reverts to administration of decreed priorities, Kansas shall not be <br />entitled to any river flow entering John Martin Reservoir. (Art. V) <br />9. The 1980 Operating Plan approved by the Compact Administration modifies Article <br />V by establishing separate volumetric accounts for each state that can be released <br />from John Martin Reservoir when directed by each state. The Colorado account is 60 <br />percent and the Kansas account is 40 percent of any water stored pursuant to the <br />Compact. <br />
