This site is downstream of the confluence with Lightner <br />Creek and upstream of the proposed Animas-La Plata Project pumping station. <br /> <br />The USGS gage Animas River at Durango (Animas River gage) is located <br />upstream of Lightner Creek, as indicated in Figure 1. The streamflow at the Boating <br />Park location consists of the Animas River gage streamflow plus the contribution from <br />Lightner Creek. The USGS gage Lightner Creek near Durango was operational on <br />Lightner Creek during a 22-year period from 1928 through 1949. As explained <br />subsequently in this report, the historic streamflow at the gage was used to extrapolate <br />more recent Lightner Creek flows. <br /> <br />The Boating Park will be approximately 21 river miles upstream of the Colorado- <br />New Mexico state line. The USGS gage Animas River near Cedar Hill, New Mexico is <br />located about 3 miles north of the Colorado-New Mexico state line, downstream of the <br />confluence of the Animas and Florida rivers. The Boating Park will be approximately 18 <br />miles from this gage location. <br /> <br />RICD Claims <br /> <br />Based on boating park designs prepared by Recreation Engineering and <br />Planning, the amount of Animas River streamflow to be claimed at each of the Boating <br />Park structures is summarized below. <br /> <br />3 <br />
