Operational Summary of Grayrocks Reservoir and Water Usage of the 
Laramie River Station--16th Annual Report For the Water Year Ending 
September 30, 1995

Purpose of Report

    In compliance with the AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT AND COMPROMISE, the 
Missouri Basin Power Project has agreed to submit an annual report to 
all signed parties of the AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT AND COMPROMISE 
concerning the operation of Grayrocks Reservoir. This report provides 
data gathered from metering and gaging stations pertinent to the 
operation and administration of Grayrocks Reservoir and the Laramie 
River Station in compliance with the AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT AND 
COMPROMISE.

Report of Operation

    The 1994-1995 water year started out as another drought year; from 
October 1, 1994 until March 25, 1995 Grayrocks Reservoir only gained 
300.0 acre feet in storage. From March 25, 1995 to May 8, 1995 
Grayrocks Reservoir storage decreased 2000.0 acre feet. However, spring 
and earlier summer rain and snow kept the Laramie River inflow to 
Grayrocks Reservoir above 300.0 cfs from May 8 until July 12.
    Grayrocks Reservoir physically filled (104,109 acre feet) on June 
6, 1995 and reached a peak storage of 110,603 acre feet on June 10, 
1995. The peak inflow to Grayrocks Reservoir occurred on June 8 with a 
flow of 4220.0 cfs; the peak release from Grayrocks Reservoir occurred 
on June 10 with a flow of 3038.0 cfs as measured at Grayrocks Reservoir 
outflow gage.
    Grayrocks Reservoir storage on September 30, 1995 was 99,217 acre 
feet (1.4 feet from being physically filled).

Laramie Gage.
    Grayrocks Reservoir end of year storage at 99,217 acre feet (1.4 
feet from being filled).
    On April 13, 1995 when the Boughton Water Transfer came into 
priority, there was only 1.0 cfs at the Bosler Gage. Until the spring 
rain and snow showers came with the resulting runoff, there was not any 
water available for the Boughton Water Transfer right. Then with the 
high runoff and Grayrocks Reservoir being filled, no Boughton Water was 
transferred. The Inundated Water rights were fully utilized.
    During the 1994-1995 year, releases from Grayrocks Reservoirs 
totaled approximately 126,421.95 acre feet as measured at Grayrocks 
outflow gage; at the Ft. Laramie Gage the releases total approximately 
118,689.42 acre feet. The releases called for in the ``AGREEMENT OF 
SETTLEMENT AND COMPROMISE'' were approximately 53,833.50 acre feet for 
the 1994-1995 water year.
    The Laramie River Station water usage for 1994-1995 water year 
totaled 17,591.43 acre feet, gross generation was 11,420,657 megawatts, 
and the net generation was 10,706,705 megawatts. With two unit outrages 
this year the Laramie River Station plant factor was 74%.

Useage Monthly Reports and Annual Summary'' for the 1994-1995 Water 
Year.
