C18 This partial decree is subject to such general provisions necessary for the definition of the rights or for the efficient administration of the water rights as may be ultimately determined by the Court at a point in time no later than the entry of a final unified decree. Section 42-1412(6), Idaho Code.
While the United States has the privilege to use 2,700 cfs for the development of power under water right nos. 1-217 and 1-218, it will be the objective of the United States in the operation of the Minidoka power plant to limit the exercise of water right nos. 1-217 and 1-218 for power production at the Minidoka power plant whenever operation of the Minidoka power plant to the full extent of these water rights for power production would result in loss of water otherwise storable in the reservoir system. Accordingly, except as it is determined by the Secretary that additional water may be passed through Minidoka Dam without the loss of water that could be stored in the reservoir system, the United States will limit the release of water through the Minidoka Dam. To the extent that it is practicable to do so, the Watermaster and the Water District 01 Advisory Committee will be informed in advance of any plans for the release of water in excess of the foregoing limitation. “Reservoir system” shall mean all Federal reservoirs on the Snake River and its tributaries down to and including Lake Walcott, which store and distribute water pursuant to water right nos. 1-219, 1-2064, 1-2068, 1-4055, 1-10034, 1-10042, 1-10043, 1-10044, 1-10045, 21-2156, 21-4155, 21-10560, 25-7004.
This decree does not alter, amend, or modify the contracts entered into between various federal contractors and the United States Bureau of Reclamation, as amended, in connection with the Palisades project and the Minidoka project, which contracts remain binding among the parties hereto.
The operation, use and administration of this water right is subject to the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement signed on February 14, 2006, with Minidoka Irrigation District, Burley Irrigation District, Twin Falls Canal Company, North Side Canal Company and American Falls Reservoir District #2.
