162 Power generation is at Swan Falls Dam Power Plant, Shoshone Falls Power Plant, Twin Falls Power Plant, Bliss Dam Power Plant, Lower Salmon Falls Power Plant, Upper Salmon Falls Power Plant, Lower Malad Gorge Power Plant, Upper Malad Gorge Power Plant, Clear Lake Power Plant and Thousand Spring Power Plant.
1. Water rights nos. 02-100, 02-2032A, 02-4000A, and 02-4001A collectively entitle Idaho Power Company to an unsubordinated water right, except as provided in paragraph nos. 3 and 4 below, to average daily flows of 3900 CFS from April 1 to October 31 and 5600 CFS from November 1 to March 31 as measured at the “Murphy Gaging Station” described below in paragraph no. 2. These flows are not subject to depletion, except for depletions caused by the lawful exercise of those water rights identified in paragraph nos. 3 and 4 below, and except for depletions resulting from any diversions or uses of the water rights identified in paragraph 5 below. Water rights nos. 02-100, 02-2032A, 02-4000A, and 02-4001A are satisfied when the average daily flows set forth herein are met or exceeded. Average daily flow, as used herein, shall be based upon actual flow conditions; thus, any fluctuations resulting from the operation of Idaho Power Company facilities shall not be considered in the calculation of such flows. Flows of water purchased, leased, owned or otherwise acquired by Idaho Power Company from sources upstream of its power plants, including above Milner Dam, and conveyed to and past its plants below Milner Dam shall be considered fluctuations resulting from the operation of Idaho Power Company facilities. Fluctuations resulting from Idaho Power’s operations are the sole exclusion to the rule that all flows actually present at the Murphy Gaging Station constitute actual flow conditions. Flows of water purchased, leased, owned or otherwise acquired by other entities are not considered fluctuations.
2. The “Murphy Gaging Station” is located at latitude 43 degrees 17 minutes 31 seconds, longitude 116 degrees 25 minutes 12 seconds, in T01S R01W, S35, NWNESE, Boise Meridian, Ada County Hydrologic Unit 17050103, on the right bank 4.2 miles downstream from Swan Falls Power Plant, 7.5 miles NE of Murphy, Idaho at river mile 453.5.
3. This water right is subordinate to the lawful exercise of water rights of those persons dismissed from Idaho Power Co. v. State of Idaho, Case No. 81375 (Fourth Judicial Dist. Feb. 16, 1990). (A list of the original dismissed water right holders is made part of the record in SRBA Consolidated Subcase No. 00-92023. The list does not reflect subsequent changes to the original water rights resulting from transfers, splits and renumbering.)
4. This water right is subordinate to all water rights diverting water from the Snake River and surface and groundwater sources tributary to the Snake River, with a priority date senior to October 25, 1984, unless otherwise indicated on the face of individual water rights.
5. For the purposes of the determination and administration of this water right, no portion of the waters of the Snake River or surface or ground water tributary to the Snake River upstream from Milner Dam shall be considered. This water right may not be administered or enforced against any diversions or uses of the waters identified in this paragraph.
6. This partial decree is consistent with the Swan Falls Agreement dated October 25, 1984, the Contract to Implement Chapter 259, Sess. Laws, 1983 dated October 25, 1984 and the Consent Judgments entered in Ada County Civil Cases Nos. 62237 (Mar. 9, 1990) and 81375 (Feb. 16, 1990). The Swan Falls Agreement dated October 25, 1984, shall not be merged into nor integrated with this partial decree, but shall remain in full force and effect independent of this partial decree.
7. 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.
