The winter recommendation was reduced to 0.85 cfs <br />• from December 15`h - Mazch 14a' due to water availability. <br />Precipitation Data <br />Staff reviewed local precipitation data sets from 2 different sites located azound the Eider Creek <br />Drainage (see Precipitation Data in Appendix C). These sites include Telluride (1900-1999) and <br />Ames (1914-1986). Table 3 shows the water yeaz and the percent of average precipitation <br />recorded at each site. <br />Table 3: Precipitation Data as a percentage of Average. <br />~J <br />Water Yeaz Telluride Ames <br />1959 96 % 88 % <br />1960 90 % 91 % <br />1961 127 % 109 % <br />1962 85 % 88 % <br />1963 117 % 97 % <br />1964 117 % 81 % <br />1965 139 % 139 % <br />Table 3 shows a slight variation of precipitation between the two relatively close precipitation <br />sites. It is staff's opinion that the seven yeazs of stream-flow data analyzed is representative of <br />average to slightly above average water-years. <br />5- <br />
