•Surcharge is the volume of water that may be impounded but not <br />retained within a reservoir between the normal spillway and the crest of <br />the dam. It is not considered part of the reservoir fill under the water <br />right as it does not meet the statutory definition of storage (CRS 37-92- <br />103(10.8)). <br />•Unless free river conditions exist or an exchange is made to “recolor” <br />(or change the character of) this water, water impounded in surcharge <br />must be released within 72 hours, which may require operation of the <br />reservoir outlet works. <br />Strontia Springs Reservoir
