bw d Mid-America Coalition Foi Energy Alternatives Q

Q March 17, 1978 Q Cear Carrie, Diane asked me to look into the water nituation as described by

% Ilene in a phone call tc. our of fice last weck.

Q After rcading ovpr the Arkansas River Basin Compact between KS and

%d,yl (E (1975), I went to Topekn to discuss it with our Chief Engineer of the.iator Resources Division (Cept of Ag. ), Guy Gibson, who is charced with the aIministration of our water Appropriation Law and a corber of the Ccmpact Co:.mittee. Briefly, his interpretation is that the Compact allows only for storage of water and in no way pre-scribet. the amount of flow across the state line. Here are son:o figures he gave rea 1,9@3 1977 K3 storage, Verdigris subbasin ca. 51,000 a-f 65,0,37 acre-ft CK storage, 137,000 a-f 434,420 a-f i If you read Article V, Sec. D of the Compact, you see that we are j allowed to store an amount equal to 300,00 a-f plus however much you N have ac'ded since 1963. So...

LK's added storage since 1963 = ca. 300,000 a-f plus MS's alloted potential of 300,000 a-f (cf which we have use up only ca. 33,000 )

Orand Total TO DATF of what we coule: store in.KS ca. 600.000 af minus " navigation capacity"of Cologah Res.  ??

Cibson says he is en record innumerable times at Compact meetings regarding his interpretation of KS's responsibility to scnd water in . .

to CE , ie. he doesn't think we have any such responsibility. I would suc;. cat checking the minutes of recent Compact reetiaqs f or evicience of his position--or rather jle sugcested it when I asked if he would ver i t e.

CG a Ictter on the subject: He did give re the following quote:

" "The Compact doesn't require me to regulate usage in Kansas in order to insure that a certain amount of water be cielivered to the Oklahoma line.."

My interpretation then was that you can not count on KS f or the regular i

supM , of water necc'od and that you should instead look to your own state for a back-up scurce...He did not disagree...

' Cilmon sayr he sees a fight loomince over 1:hether or not you wil)

,1 count your cooling lake against OK 's s torage allota:ent . He thinks

\lt it W:>uld be (as we counted our ecoling lake f or '..'olf Creek again-

\ ") car a'Jotment); but sayn OK is coing to try to get around it...

' .recrrinaly, if you c'on ' t do it; then, either will we! (Hou big is ye Cu cooling lake?) lie al so inentioned that any major revision of the wou le; requiro arproval of both Lc=';islaturen and c <_ : . re . He kn.c of no nocting of the Ccachisr.icn b.>f ore . '00* FI'cvdad Jul. Do you? - Y
