When the tlow, at Trinidad approaches 15,000 seoond- <br /> <br />teet, releases would be decreased and outt'low regulated for a <br /> <br />maximwn tlow at Trinidad of 15,000 second-feet. Thus, all flood <br />flow'S, inoluding those below 15,000 second-teet, would be reduoed <br />to some extent, the !UIlllunt depending on the oapaoity of the outlet <br />works and spillway corresponding to the reservoir stage at the <br />t:l:me the tlood ooourred. b'ur'thel"lllOre. ~ tlood oocurring at.. <br />t:l:me 1l'l)en it _uld haw spilled trom John Martin lleservoir could <br /> <br />be stored in Trinidad Reservoir for oonservation use. <br /> <br />FISHERY SECTION <br /> <br />Without the Projeot <br /> <br />7. No significant fishery would be affeoted by the project. <br /> <br />Va.riations in stream flow from noods to periods of zero flow, <br /> <br />siltation, and mine pollution make the Purgatoire Riwr unstiit(l~le <br /> <br /> <br />for game fish as far upstream as Weston, Colorado - more than 10 <br /> <br /> <br />miles above the reservoir site. Suckers are common in this section, <br /> <br />and oocasionally trout are washed into the area during floods but <br /> <br />do not surv:l.ve. <br /> <br />APPENDIX G <br />Exhibit No. :3 <br />PagEl. 4 of 8 <br /> <br />".c:",",'- <br /> <br /> <br />.' <br />
