<br />North Platte Basin Round: <br />I <br /> <br />Table <br /> <br />RECEIVED <br />DEt 2 2 2006 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />December 19, 2006 <br /> <br />eo!om1o Water ConServalicn il()~F. <br /> <br />Mr. Dan Merriman <br />Stream and lake Protection <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />1331 Shennan St., Rm 721 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />Dear Sir: <br /> <br />The North Park Basin Round Table has taken the position to support the Jackson County Water <br />Conservation District in their opposition to instream flows in Jackson County below any existing <br />diversions. Issues raised at the round table meeting are explained below. <br /> <br />There already exists instream ftows because of senior water right holders below the proposed instream <br />flows on Indian Creek and the North ForK of the North Platte. Cor1reming the South Fork of Big Creek <br />as well as Indian Creek and the North Fork of the North Platte these proposed instream flows are <br />certain to injure and interfere with the rights to develop these waters for beneficial use. Present and <br />future water users would be deprived from utiltzing theirfun entiUement (private usufruduary property <br />right) for all bene1i::iaI uses under the US Supreme Court Decree. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In closing we feel that any future instream flow proposals should be published in the local paper and <br />those proposing these instream flows should consult water right owners who will be directly affected by <br />these proposals. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/7/? ~ ~ //A7? . \ <br />0fdf~6A~~:b-~ t!y <br />~ /7 tJ.( 0" d ,q;/~ /l <br />( ~fl? t-tj/ O;~~~ ( )~ <br />-;::'---::", . / ~~ <br /> <br />y?,/,",\ . ~ <br />, rJ /'J lill ,/} <br />.
