'The information contained in this report and the associated inslTeam now file folder forms the
basis for the instrcam flow recommendation to be considered by the Colorado Water
Conservation Board (Aoard). It is Trout Unlimited (TU) and the Colorado Division of Wildlife
(CDOW) stairs opinion that the information contained in this report is suflicient for the Hoard's
stafT to begin the investigations required to support the findings rcquirt.~ in Rule 5(i) of the
(nstream Flow Rules.

The State of Colorado's (nstream Flow Program (ISFP) was created in 1973 when the Colorado
State Legislature n."Cognized "the need to correlate the activities of mankind with some
reasonable preservation of the natural environment" (See ~37.92.102 (3) C.R.S.). The statute
vests the Board with the exclusive authority to appropriate and acquire instream flow and natural
lake level water rights. In order to encourage other entities to participate in Colomdo's ISFP, the
statute directs the Hoard to request instrcam flow recommendations from other state and federal
agencies. TV and the cnow are recommending this segment of Como Creek to the Board for
inclusion into the ISFP. Como Creek should be considered for inclusion into the rSFP because it
has a natural environment that can be preserved to a reasonable degree with an instream flow
water right.
