II's plenary in July, 1992. The first task was to identify various strategies generically, and the <br />second was to determine during what seasons of the year each of these strategies should be applied <br />on what rivers in Colorado. Listed below aze the various generic strategies identified by the group; <br />following that is a table compiled by Guru II members in plenary session reflecting their <br />recommendations as~to which strategies should be applied where and when (CPPSC,7/20/92). <br />3.4.1. Generic Descriptions of Water Acquisition Strategies. <br />Appropriation of an Absolute Junior Water Right. CWCB files for a <br />new junior absolute water right to fulfill the RIP. This strategy would be used <br />when there is no direct conflict with Colorado River compact apportionment and the <br />CWCB accepts the technical and biological basis for the instream flow <br />recommendations made by the FWS. <br />Appropriation of an Interim Water Right. Filing for an interim instream <br />water right for the full flow recommendations for fish when either the impact on <br />compact apportionment or the technical biological basis of the flow <br />recommendations is uncertain; periodic review of adequacy of recommendations <br />and impacts on other water users. <br />Appropriation of Combined Absolute and Interim Water Right. Filing <br />for a two part right: an absolute right for less than the amount that may be needed <br />for fish in the event of compact conflict, combined with an interim right to fulfill <br />the remainder of flow needs that may be in conflict with the compact apportionment <br />or that may betechnically/biologically uncertain, to accommodate possibility of <br />change in flow recommendations; periodic review of adequacy of recommendations <br />and impacts on other water users. <br />3-10 <br />
