Utah Lake Annual Amended Conversion Criteria

Utah Lake Annual Amended Conversion Criteria
Updated: June 2, 2005


                          May 23, 2005


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

The State Engineer granted a late request from the Central Utah Water
Conservancy District to modify the conversion criteria and not deliver 
water for this season under water right numbers E3100, E3101, and E4319, 
which are based on Utah Lake/Jordan River water right numbers 57-7624, 
59-14, 59-15 and 59-20.  The water rights represent 24,762 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 is modified.  Following 
are the modifications to Table 3 of the Interim Water Distribution Plan for 
the Utah Lake Drainage Basin.  The River Commissioners are hereby 
directed to implement these modifications as of May 23, 2005, and 
they shall be in effect for the remainder of the 2005 distribution season.
