<br />003J91 <br /> <br />Rod Kuharich, Director <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />response. The Service believes reporting back to CWCB and Reclamation every 4 years would <br />provide a sufficient time period to identify changes in the 15-Mile Reach ap.d in the fish <br />populations. Thus, we recommend that the next report be prepared in 2005. This would capture <br />a time period when more effort has gone into meeting Service flow recommendations for the <br />15-Mile Reach starting in 1998 and would include the benefits of flow augmentation prescribed <br />by the PBO. This time period would also coincide well with the biannual checkpoints identified <br />in the PBO. <br /> <br />The Service continues to believe that flow augmentation from these reservoirs has been an <br />important step in improving habitat conditions in not only the 15-Mile Reach but also in reaches <br />downstream. A Recovery Program representative will attend the July CWCB meeting to address <br />any questions or concerns CWCB may have. <br /> <br />The Service and the Recovery Program would like to take this opportunity to thank CWCB, <br />Colorado River District, City of Denver, Reclamation, and west slope water users for the time, <br />effort, and resources committed to supporting flows for the Colorado River endangered fishes in <br />2000. The cooperation and coordination is getting better ever year! <br /> <br /> <br />Robert Muth, Director, Upper Colorado <br />River Endangered Fish Recovery Program <br /> <br />Enclosures <br /> <br />s1\re <br />i e1\c\O <br />elS) 0 <br />.1! \l~~ {o\\O~ <br />
