RE: SRP's Application to Appropriate
Dear Elizabeth;
1 am enclosing SRP's amended applications to appropriate nos. E-11, R-30, R-45, R-46,R-71, R-72, A-135 and A-136. The amended applications have been redlined to show changes toA-135 and E-11 from the amendments submitted in 2000 and to R-30, R-45, R-46, R-71, R-72,and A-136 from the amendments submitted in 1994. You also requested we submit a copy of the7-page summary of amendments dated November 2009, but we think the redlined applicationsare easier to follow and the November summary is out of date. Nevertheless, if you do want asummary memo of the changes in addition to the redlined amendments, let me know and I willprepare one for you. To the extent any attachments have been amended, we are enclosing newredlined attachments.
I am also enclosing a one-page memo describing how SRP calculated the maximumhistorical use of SRP's stored water of 904,082 af.
If you have any questions after having an opportunity to review the amended applicationsand memo, please feel free to call me.
Very truly yours,
Salmon, Lewis & Weldon, P.L.C.

SRP Maximum Historical Use of Stored Water
Based on a review of surface water records from 1950-2008, which is the availableperiod of record for the combined storage facilities, the maximum historical use of storedwater by SRP for member and Townsite Lands occurred in 1969, which was a total of904,982 AF. That amount is calculated as follows.
Category
Reservoir Releases
Verde WTP and FMYN Diversions
Net Releases to Granite Reef
Granite Reef Diversions for Normal Flow, Contracts,and No Charge
Stored Water Diversions at Granite Reef
SRP Stored Water Diversions at Verde WTP
Total Stored Water Releases for SRP and Townsite
Amount (AF)

Sec Note (4)
(1) Assumed no losses for Phoenix Verde Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and Ft.McDowell Yavapai Nation (FMYN) because the measurement is at the diversion.
(2) In 1969, net local inflow of 20,235 AF offset losses between the reservoirs andGranite Reef, and provided additional supply at Granite Reef [Phoenix VerdeWTP and FMYN diversions (43,403 AF) + Granite Reef diversions (1,103,486AF) = 1,146,889 AF, which is greater than Reservoir releases (1,126,654 AF).
(3) Granite Reef diversions for Normal Flow, Contracts, and No Charge diversions anddeliveries = deliveries to those categories (167,325 AF) / 0.7705169 (1 -22.94831% system losses) = 217,159 AF
(4) Does not include diversions for Gatewater or SRPM1C domestic use.
