Utah Lake Annual Amended Conversion Criteria

Updated: February 7, 2001


                         February 22, 1994


                            AMENDMENT
                                TO
 INTERIM WATER DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR THE UTAH LAKE DRAINAGE BASIN

The State Engineer received a request from the Central Utah Water
Conservancy District not to deliver water for this season under water
right numbers 57-7624, 59-14, 59-15 and 59-20.  These water rights are
supplied from Utah Lake and/or Jordan River.  The water rights represent
25,000 acre-feet of primary rights and 57,073 acre-feet of secondary
rights in Utah Lake.  With this reduction in the demand on Utah Lake, the
criteria of when system storage can be converted to priority storage
needs to be modified accordingly.  Following are the modifications to
Table 3, page 12, lines 7 through 16, inclusive, of the Interim Water
Distribution Plan for the Utah Lake Drainage Basin.  The River
Commissioners are hereby directed to implement these modifications as of
February 22, 1994, and they shall be in effect for the remainder of the
1994 distribution season.
