<br /> Symbol NW Yo See, 20, Use/Recreational Considerations Evaluation
<br />Elkhead Creek California Park 29 Sec. 17, T9N, R87W local agriculture, downstream users excellent Potential impact to sandhill crane good conditional storage right, scaled down capacity
<br /> from
<br /> habitat earlier studies
<br /> Kildrens & Kleckner 30 potential opportunity to reactivate idle land good good breached structure
<br /> Res.
<br /> Elkhead # 1 31 SE 1/4 Sec. 7, T8N, R88W local agricultural, potential opportunities to excellent good yes
<br /> reactivate idle land
<br /> Elkhead #2 32 SE1/4 Sec. 32, T8N, R88W local agricultural users excellent n01 quite as good of a site as Elkhead #1
<br /> Pilot Knob 33 Sec. 5, T8N, R88W local agricultural, downstream users excellent good conditional storage right, scaled down capacity from
<br /> earlier studies
<br />Dry Fork Elkhead Mill Creek 34 SW1/4. Sec. 17, T8N, R87W local agricultural, downstream users good good
<br />Creek
<br />South Fork South Fork # 1 35 NE1/4 Sec. 33, T10N, R90W local agricultural, downstream users adequate good
<br />Fortification Creek South Fork # 2 36 NWl/4, Sec. 33, Tl0N, R90W local agricultural, downstream users adequate, potential to good off-channel storage
<br /> supplement native flow via
<br /> feeder canal
<br />Fortification Creek Rampart Reservoir 37 Sec. 12, TN9, R91W local agriculture, downstream good, potential to past dryland farming caused good sito has been examined in nUmerous previous
<br /> studies yes
<br /> municipal/industrial/agriculture users supplement native inflow serious sedimentation problem in but with significantly greater storage capacity
<br /> Fortification Creek, potential
<br /> recreational opportunities
<br /> Ralph White 38 Sec. 34, T8N, R90W local agriculture, downstream excellent past dryland farming caused good breeched site, past sedimentation problems in
<br /> municipal/industriaf/agriculture users serious sedimentation problem in Fortification Creek resulted in reduced operating
<br /> Fortification Creek, potential capacity, structure still in place
<br /> recreational opportunities
<br />Little Cottonwood Lower Freeman 39 SEl/4, Sec. 3, T9N, R90W local agricultural, downstream users good good reservoir tailwater would probably flood Freeman Res.
<br />Creek # 1 rOod
<br />Little Cottonwood Dry Cottonwood 40 SE1/4, Sec. 11, T9N, R90W local agricultural, downstream users good good breeched structure, could potentially rehabilitate dam
<br />Creek #2 or build new structure slightly downstream in Sec. 14,
<br /> T9N, R90W
<br />Little Bear Creek Little Bear # 1 41 SW1/4 Sec. 36, T9N, R89W local agricultural, downstream users good building at this site would require good tailwater could potentially flood existing
<br /> ditch yes
<br /> relocatinq road he"dgates
<br /> Little Bear #2 42 NE1/4 Sec. 30, T9N, R90W local agricultural, downstream users adequate good this location would not have conflicts with road or
<br /> ditch headgates, however smaller capacity and less
<br /> inflow than Little 8ear # 1
<br />Dry Fork Little Bear Dry Fork # 1 43 SW1/4 Sec. 35, T9N, R89W local agricultural, downstream users good good abandoned 381 ac-It storage right in watershed,
<br />Creek potential dam site located immediately upstream of
<br /> Tipton Ditch headqate
<br /> Dry Fork #2 44 SEl/4 Sec. 27, T9N, R89W local agricultural, downstream users good good this site appears slightly better than Dry Fork # 1 site,
<br /> however appears dam would need to be longer and
<br /> would receive less inflow than Dry Fork #1
<br />Clear Creek Konopik Reservoir 45 Sec. 34, T3N, R91 W local aqricultural, downstream users marqinal [lood breeched site, public land
<br />Milk Creek Three Points 46 Sec. 9, T2N, R81W local agricultural, downstream users good good upstream of all irrigation uses on Milk Creek, public yes
<br /> land
<br /> DD&E Reservoir 47 Sec. 2, T2N, R91W local agricultural, downstream users good good pOCisible enlargement of existing structure
<br /> Wyman 48 Sec. 5, T3N, R92W local agricultural, downstream users good good possible enlargement of existing structure
<br /> Thornburgh 49 NEl/4 Sec. 32, T3N, R92W local agricultural, downstream users excellent tailwater may inundate some good downstream of significant irrigated acreage around yes
<br /> irrigated land Thornburgh, Yellowjacket Conservancy District
<br /> maintains diligence on approximately 30,000 ac-ft
<br /> Milk Creek 50 Sec. 30, T4N, R92W downstream users on Yampa River excellent recreational opportunities good site located in lower portion of watershed
<br />Good Spring Creek Good Spring 51 Sec. 22. T3N. R93W local agriculture adequate Colowyo Coal Company controls good breeched site yes
<br /> water right and land
<br />Jubb Creek Jubb Creek 52 local agriculture marginal Colowyo Coal Company controls adequate existing conditional storage right
<br /> water riqht and land
<br />Wilson Creek Wilson 53 Sec. 13, T4N, R93W local agriculture adequate Colowyo Coal Company controls good
<br /> water right and land
<br />Stinking Gulch Stinking Gulch 54 NEl/4 Sec. 26, T4N, R91W local agriculture adequate, potential to good
<br /> supplement native inflow
<br />Moraan Gulch Morgan Gulch 55 potential opportunities to reactivate idle land marginal good existing conditional storage riaht
<br />Big Gulch Big Gulch #1 56 Sec. 19, T7N, R92W local agricultural, downstream users marginal good potential site exists immediately upstream of Robinson yes
<br /> Ditch'
<br /> Big Gulch #2 57 NE1/4 Sec. 10, T7N, R92W local agricultural, downstream users marginal good
<br />Lay Creek Lay Creek 58 SW1/4 Sec. 8, T7N, R93W local agriculture marginal adequate local water users indicated potential opportunities for
<br /> bringing land into production if water-supply available
<br />Notes: 1) The Lower Yampa Drainage does not include the Williams Fork River or the Little Snake River. These drainages are considered separately.
