Satisfaction of the flow for this right is determined at the "Murphy Gaging Station" described below.
Water rights 02-00201 and 02-00223 are limited to a combined minimum flow rate of 3,900 CFS average daily flow from April 1 to October 31 as measured at the "Murphy Gaging Station," described below. Water rights 02-00201, 02-00223 and 02-00224 are limited to a combined minimum flow rate of 5,600 CFS average daily flow from November 1 to March 31 as measured at the "Murphy Gaging Station," described below.
1. 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.
2. The "Murphy Gaging Station" is located at T01S, R01W, S35, NWSE, Boise Meridian, on the right bank approximately 4.2 miles downstream from Swan Falls Power Plant.
3. 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.
This partial decree is subject to such general provisions necessary for the definition of the water 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. I.C. Section 42-1416(6).
