A more elaborate underground pipeline irrigation sys- tem then conveys water (again via gravity) from the Horseshoe Res- ervoir to both the golf course and hay meadows. A pump has been installed at the Horseshoe Res- ervoir but it is rarely used because the entire irrigation system can run entirely on gravity. Surface water rights appurtenant to the Horseshoe are recorded at the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office.

  • WATER RESOURCES/LITIGATION Special Report #2282 Montana V
    WATER RESOURCES/LITIGATION Special Report #2282 Montana v. Wyoming/Yellowstone River Compact February 9, 2018 On January 10, the Special Master submitted his final report to the U.S. Supreme Court on Montana v. Wyoming (No. 137). The Yellowstone River Compact provides for the continued enjoyment of Montana’s downstream appropriative rights existing as of 1950. Montana filed suit in 2008 over Wyoming diversions on the Tongue River, an interstate tributary to the Yellowstone River with multiple reservoirs that store extremely variable flows. The case was bifurcated into liability and remedy phases. The U.S. Supreme Court determined in 2016 that Wyoming violated the Compact, and was liable for the withdrawal of 1,300 acre-feet in 2004, and 56 acre-feet in 2006. “This Report deals with the remedies that the Court should provide to Montana.” In addition to monetary damages of $20,340 and certain costs of bringing the lawsuit, the Special Master recommended declaratory relief to “provide the parties with critical guidelines for their future management of the Tongue River and hopefully help avoid future disputes. I recommend against injunctive relief. Wyoming has repeatedly stated that it will comply with the Court’s orders and rulings and, although there is little history of cooperation between Montana and Wyoming in managing the Tongue River, the record fails to show a significant chance of repeat violations in the future.” The Special Master added that the nature of the Compact makes it difficult to avoid all future disputes.

PEPPE*, KIRK R. JOHNSON**, and DAVID A. D. EVANS*** ABSTRACT. We analyzed paleomagnetic samples and documented the stratigraphy from two sections near Miles City, Montana to determine the geomagnetic polarity stratigraphy and to constrain the age and duration of the Lebo and Tongue River Members of the Fort Union Formation in the northeastern Powder River Basin. The resulting polarity sequence can be correlated to subchrons C29n–C26r of the geomag- netic polarity time scale. By interpolating measured sediment accumulation rates from the base of C28r to the top of C27n, and then extrapolating to the top of the Tongue River Member and the bottom of the Lebo Member, we developed two age models to estimate the durations of the Lebo and Tongue River Members. Based on the first model, which uses different sedimentation rates for the Lebo and Tongue River Members, we estimate the duration of deposition of the Lebo to be between 1.30 and 1.74 million years and of the Tongue River to be between 1.42 and 1.61 million years. Using the second model, which uses the same sedimentation rate for the Lebo and Tongue River Members, we estimate the duration of deposition of the Lebo to be between 1.33 and 1.76 million years and of the Tongue River to be between 1.00 and 1.25 million years.
