It is proposed that the UGRWCD would be the owner and controller of the water rights <br />associated with the additional water storage. After recovery of the upfront costs <br />associated with the proposed engineering study and, if determined feasible, the <br />construction of a control structure to maintain the increased water storage capacity, <br />revenues generated from the anticipated sale of the stored water could be used for other <br />water improvement projects within the District and along the Lake Fork watershed. <br />PARTICIPATING ENTITIES <br />Hinsdale County <br />Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District <br />Colorado Division of Water Resources, Water Division 4 <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />Bureau of Land Management <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />Private Property Owners on Lake San Cristobal <br />Army Corps of Engineers <br />Others as necessary <br />PERMITTING PROCESS: The Hinsdale County Board of County Commissioners <br />have submitted a letter to the UGRWCD asking that they begin the preliminary steps to <br />obtain a water right associated with the increased water storage capacity on the Lake. <br />Other necessary permits will be processed by Hinsdale County in collaboration with the <br />District, or if more appropriate, by the District with the assistance of the County and <br />other entities as necessary. <br />RELEVANT DOCUMENTS: (available upon request) <br />Colorado Division of Water Resources, Memorandum, January 28, 2003, Jim <br />Norfleet, Dam Safety Engineer, Follow -up Inspection and Meeting — Lake San Cristobal, <br />District 62 <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board water right on Lake San Cristobal, Case <br />Number 4 -W- 3366 -77, Appropriation Date: 5/12/1976, Surface Acres: 346, Lake <br />Capacity: 13545, Elevation: 8995 ft., Water Division 4, Water District 62 <br />Environmental Assessment, Lake San Cristobal Public Water Based Recreation <br />Measure, Hinsdale County, Colorado, Lake San Cristobal and Surrounding Terrain, <br />October 1975. <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board Memorandum, July 16, 1991, Dan <br />Merriman, Agenda Item 12, July 23 -24, 1991, Board Meeting — Lake San Cristobal — <br />Hinsdale County — Presentation on natural Lake Stabilization Issues <br />USDA, Soil Conservation Service, Letter, ENG — Lake San Cristobal Outlet, <br />11/20/91, Mike DiLuzio, Area Engineer <br />
