Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br />Fonn Revised May 2007 <br />Water Availability and Sustainabilitv - this information is needed to assess the viability and effectiveness of the <br />water project or activity. Please provide a description of each water supply source to be utilized for, or the Avater <br />body to be affected by, the water activity. For water supply sources being utilized, describe its location, yield, <br />extent of development, and water right status. For water bodies being affected, describe its location, extent of <br />development, and the expected effect of the water activity on the water body, in either case, the analysis should <br />take into consideration a reasonable range of hydrologic variation. <br />Water supplies to Continental Reservoir include North Clear Creek, Kitty Creek Ruby Creek, Big Buck <br />Creek and Buck Creek. Water supplies to Santa Maria Reservoir include regulated discharges from <br />Continental Reservoir (including all of the above) as well as flows from Rito Hondo Creek and Spring <br />Creek, to which Big Spring, Mesa and Willow Creek are tributaiy. The only direct flow to Santa Maria <br />is from Boulder Creek. The floe in the Rio Grande is influence by three reservoirs, all located upstream <br />of Creede. Rio Grande Reservoir, an on-stream reservoir, and Continental and Santa Maria Reservoirs, <br />both off-stream reservoirs. Flows from these reservoirs are primarily regulated based on Rio Grande <br />Compact requirements and storage rights within the reservoirs by private parties. The effect of this <br />water project is to increase storage at Continental and Santa Maria Reservoirs and to provide CDOW, <br />which owns and operates 3 transmountain diversions and does not have adequate storage capacity of its <br />own, to store some of its transmountain water in Continental Reservoir and Santa Maria Reservoirs. <br />This Project has the effect of increasing the flexibility of CDOW to use its water more effectively and to <br />the greatest benefit for a variety of wildlife and wildlife habitat. Water stored ni both reservoirs is <br />released to meet agricultural needs and to irrigate lands for waterfowl nesting, shelter and forage and <br />sustain and improve big game winter range. <br />Please provide a brief narrative of any related or relevant previous studies. <br />Additional Information - If you feel you would like to add any additional pertinent information please feel <br />free to do so here. <br />The above statements are true to the best of my lmoivledge: <br />Signature of Applicant: <br />Print Applicant's Name: <br />Project Title: <br />Return this application to: <br />Mr. Rick Brown <br />Intrastate Water Management and Development Section <br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br />1580 Logan Street, Suite 600 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />To submit applications by Email, send to: rick.brown,«;state.co.us <br />28
