Based upon an analysis of historical flows, the Bureau of Reclamation has determined that the Upper Basin is entitled to over 6 million acre-feet of water each year. Colorado?s apportionment of the amount available is 5 .75 I Other states have proceeded to develop their remaining Compact apportionments. New Mexico is pursuing the Navajo Gallup project pursuant to the Bureau's determination. Utah is proceeding with the Lake Powell pipeline to St. George. These developments will nearly consume both states? Compact apportionments, but they have chosen to move forward to meet their water needs. As part of the on-going SWSI process, the Colorado Water Conservation Board has assessed the amount of water available to Colorado under its Compact share.The CWCB study determined that even after development between now and 2030, Colorado will have an undeveloped share of 302,000 654,000 acre- feet available. The Bureau of Reclamation has modeled the amount of water available to be contracted to RWSP. The Bureau assumed that the Upper Basin states would develop new projects they have identified, that flows below Flaming Gorge Reservoir would be maintained at the levels established by a recent Record of Decision as needed to protect endangered fish, and that reservoir water levels would be maintained as needed to generate electricity. 2% ROLE INTERSTATE COOPERATION SGANN EH Liar: Article IX I948 Upper Colorado River Basin Compact No State shall deny the of any signatory State to acquire rights to the use of water, or to construct or participate in the construction and use of diversion works and storage Any signatory State, any person or any entity of any signatory State shall have the right to acquire such pr0perty rights as are necessary to the use of water in conformity with this compact in any other signatory State by donation, purchase or through the exercise of the power of eminent domain\uwr .oqu Entered Inlo By The Slales ol ARIZONA COLORADO NEW MEXICO UTAH WYOMING SANTA FE Niw MEXICO ll I'dhi UTAH CONTROL I Application is consistent with Colorado?s compact allocation and will not interfere with Utah?s allocation; Project recognizes the diversion will be managed within Utah?s priority system I Project operations can be managed to address water supply needs, protect environmental values, and support drought contingency plan goals; all while supporting Colorado?s right to use water under the law of the river aim PROJECT SUMMARY 3% LAKE POWELL PIPELINE St. George Sand Hollow Reservoir Mohave County Iron County I Washingmn County i I i l7 7 _Ga?eld_Cou_rlty# KancCounly Veg: Ulah Arizona Xanab LakePowell Utah Arizona C(xomno County ndiau Reservalion Legend Lake F?uwell Pipeline .
