Show 8. to supply water to meet demands (which will be created by then) water can be sold and delivered by the District for all contemplated project uses, as they develop, and In accordance with the agreement. (b) Water can be placed in storage in the project reservoirs on a schedule which will reasonably assure that the project reservoirs (Strawberry, Jordanelle, and the Upper Stillwater Reservoirs) will be full by the time that transmountain diversion facilities are completed and available for use. (Note: The way this is stated, development of both Jordanelle and Upper Stillwater Reservoirs is part of this agreement.) (c) Water will be released or bypassed to provide 44,000 a f annually for fisheries, so long as the filling of the reservoirs is in accord with the filling schedule and current project water use demands are being met. (This statement is loadedI It leaves water for instream flows at the mercy of the Conservancy District .i H (d) A minimum of 22,300 a f (includes the 6,500 af set aside by resolution of £pril 12, 1965) will be released or bypassed for fisheries, in the event filling of the reservoir is behind the filling schedule, or current project water use demands are not " / being met. (Note: This is really the only guaranteed amount of uua^er for instream flows. It is hydrologically and biologically insufficient to achieve salvage of 50% adult trout habitat.) 2. It is agreed that the water provided he^ *by and released hereunder will stay in the streams above the confluence of the Straw** berry and Duchesne Rivers, to maintain minimum stream flows. However, at any given time water released or bypassed from the reservoir may fulfill multiple roles of project use, meeting prior rights, and of providing minimum stream flows between the point of release and the point of rediversion. Other water may be released only for maintaining stream flow. To the extent possible Kl (thi^ clause should be omitted)vthe agreed minimum quantities pro- V vided for herein, will be available, on an annual basis, to maintain stream flows. It is mutually acknowledged that the minimum and the desired stream flows are to be reflected in cubic feet per second. At any given point on each stream, the water available may consist of natural flows, water released or bypassed for project 0 use, or to provide water for prior rights, and water released or bypassed for minimum stream flows, as provided herein. • /*hydrologically and biologically spaced out, on a month by month basis, during the year.
