<br />-- <br />I ' <br /> <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I ( <br />1'- <br /> <br />Upper Gunnison <br />Augmentation Plans <br /> <br />~The UGRWCD has one decreed plan of augmentation for <br />the Upper Gunnison Basin and has filed for a second. <br />~ Their decreed plan includes Meridian Lak:e as a source of <br />replacement water in the Crested Butte area. <br />~The purpose of this plan is to allow continued out-of- <br />priority depletions during calls by either a CWCB instream <br />flow or by local irrigators on the Slate or lower East River, as <br />well as an RICD call on the Gunnison. <br />~Meridian Lake has only a 50 acre-foot firm annual yield; <br />contract water is relatively expensive and water is being sold <br />in 0.05 acre-foot base units. <br />~UGRWCD has renewed their SWSP for the Aspinall <br />Augmentation Plan; the decree should be issued in 2006. <br />
