	Water stored under this right and conveyed to downstream lands is subject to a shrinkage loss as determined by the watermaster.
	Permanent measuring devices must be maintained in such a manner that the amount of water entering the reservoir and the amount of water released from the reservoir can be measured.
	The place of use for irrigation from storage is upon lands located along the Snake River and its tributaries in Eastern Idaho within the Minidoka Federal Reclamation Project as listed in Storage Contract 4-07-10-W0999 dated March 31, 1994, between the United States and Mitigation, Inc.
R05	Use of water under this right will be regulated by a watermaster with responsibility for the distribution of water among appropriators within a water district. At the time of this approval, this water right is within State Water District No. 01.
R40	The storage of water under this right is contingent upon continued certification by the Department of Water Resources under the dam safety provisions of the Idaho Code, authorizing storage.
	Wildlife storage (inactive storage) shall not be released from storage for a beneficial use.
C18	3. 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.
	Place of use for irrigation storage and wildlife storage is Ririe Reservoir.
	The reservoir storage capacity is 90,500 acre feet when filled to elevation 5112.8 and measured at the upstream face of the dam. Water right nos. 25-7004, 25-14413A and 25-14413B are limited to the total combined annual diversion volume necessary to allocate a total of 80,500 acre-feet of irrigation storage water per year to the consumers or users of the irrigation storage water.
	Place of use for storage is Ririe Reservoir, provided, however, that water under this right may be temporarily held in the unoccupied space of any of the reservoirs upstream of Milner Dam, located at township 10S, range 21E, sections 28 and 29, when determined by the Water District 01 Watermaster as supervised by the Director of the Department of Water Resources, the Water District 01 advisory committee, and the United States Bureau of Reclamation that such temporary storage will maximize the storage of water upstream of Milner Dam.
200	1. The name of the United States of America acting through the Bureau of Reclamation appears in the Name and Address sections of this partial decree. However, as a matter of Idaho Constitutional and Statutory Law, title to the use of the water is held by the consumers or users of the water. The irrigation organizations act on behalf of the consumers or users to administer the use of the water for the landowners in the quantities and/or percentages specified in the contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation and the irrigation organizations for the benefit of the landowners entitled to receive distribution of this water from the respective irrigation organizations. The interest of the consumers or users of the water is appurtenant to the lands within the boundaries of or served by such irrigation organizations, and that interest is derived from law and is not based exclusively on the contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation and the irrigation organizations.
	2. The allocation of storage to federal contractors and the location of that storage, including carryover storage, in the reservoir system shall be determined by the United States Bureau of Reclamation pursuant to federal reclamation law and contracts entered into between the United States and federal contractors. The Water District 01 Watermaster (as supervised by the Director of the Department of Water Resources) shall distribute the stored water in accordance with allocation instructions from the United States Bureau of Reclamation. “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, 1-10042, 1-10043, 1-10044, 1-10045, 1-10620, 1-10621A, 1-10621B, 1-10622, 1-10623, 21-2156, 21-4155, 21-10560, 21-13161, 21-13194, 25-7004, 25-14413A and 25-14413B.
	4. 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.
	5. September 15th beginning date for this annual period is known as the “reset date” for reservoir volumes. The “reset date” allows previously satisfied reservoir water right volumes to begin filling again for the next annual storage volume period. The annual storage volume period will extend from September 15th to the following September 14th. Consistent with Section 8.3 of the 1990 Fort Hall Indian Water Rights Agreement, nothing in this provision is intended to impact the rights described and administered pursuant to that Section.
