address the necessity of simultaneously and successfully interpreting biological
and engineering technical data?
CWCB Discretion When Flow/Population Causal Linkage Is
Uncertain. How much latitude does the CWCB have in addressing situations
in which it is not feasible to establish relationships between flow, fish population,
and habitat? In working with these situations, how should the Board
simultaneously and fairly interpret both biological and engineering technical data?
Interim Instream Flow Rights. How should stakeholders
explore the possibility of acquiring "interim" instream flow rights
subject to future review and refinement based on new data? In so
doing, the following issues must be addressed: (A) Would interim
flow rights adequately protect habitat until uncertainties are
resolved? (B) Can USFWS rely on interim flows in issuing its
biological opinions ? (This issue is subsumable under the broader
questions of CWCB discretion raised above).
Impact of Instream Flow Protection on Colorado's Ability to
Develop its Compact Apportionment. How should stakeholders address a
variety of potential conflict areas between the protection of instream flows for the
endangered fishes and Colorado's ability to develop its compact apportionment,
including:
(A) timely stream-by-stream identification of Colorado's compact apportionments;
(B) instream flow protection for fish habitat pending quantification of the stream-
• specific stream-specific compact apportionment;
