E-30, Summary of Stakeholder Meeting, CWCB, November 1, 1994, paragraph #3, sentence #4: Change the sentence to read: "Ms. Uppendahl described two junior instream flow rights that the CWCB has recently filed in the 15 Mile Reach of the Colorado River for the Recovery Program. These include a 1992 adjudication for 581 cfs during July through September, and a 300 cfs instream flow right of return flow accretions filed in 1994." Comment #4, pg. E-30, Summary of Stakeholder Meeting, CWCB, November 1, 1994, paragraph #3, sentence #8: The 20 cfs referred to is not a CWCB instream flow. It is a 20 cfs condition on a 404 permit for Jerry Creek Reservoir. The term is included in Ute Water Conservancy District's decree in Case No. W3406. Comment #5, pg. E-31, paragraph #2 starting with "Ms. Uppendahl.....": Replace the entire paragraph with "Ms. Uppendahl provided an overview of the Recovery Implementation Program for the Endangered Fishes of the Upper Colorado River Basin (Recovery Program).

The agreement was signed by all parties in 1988 and outlined a 15 year plan for recovery of the four endangered fishes. There are five key elements of the Recovery Program, one of which is to provide instream flows in various reaches of the Upper Colorado River Basin to benefit the endangered fish. The CWCB plays an active role in the Recovery Program as it is the only entity that can hold an instream flow water right in the State of Colorado, and must protect the State's compact apportioned waters. Specific actions (studies and tasks) are identified in the Recovery Implementation Program Recovery Action Plan (RIPRAP) document, and are updated annually. The Program Director for the Recovery Program is John Hamill of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Comment #6, pg. E-31, paragraph #3 starting with "The CWCB....": The floodplain along Plateau Creek is an issue with the CWCB. Even though there are no CWCB designated floodplains along the limits of the project, there has been documented flooding along Plateau Creek which must be addressed during the design phase of this project.
