4.5.5 Lake Catamount <br />Lake Catamount Reservoir (WDID 583631) is located on the main stem of the Yampa River between <br />Stagecoach Dam and Steamboat Springs. The reservoir is used primarily for recreational for the <br />planned residential and ski development near the lake. The maximum (and active) storage capacity of <br />the reservoir is approximately 7,422 acre -feet. <br />Lake Catamount is modeled using the accounts and storage rights shown in Tables 4.5.5a and b. <br />TABLE 4.5.5A <br />Lake Catamount Accounts <br />Reservoir <br />Account <br />Owner <br />Ca aci acre -feet <br />Lake Catamount <br />1 <br />Cons- ool <br />7,422 91 <br />TABLE 4.5.5B <br />Lake Catamount Storage Rights <br />. <br />Structure ID <br />Reservoir <br />Admin # <br />Amount acre -feet <br />Fill <br />583631 <br />Lake Catamount <br />44761.00000 <br />7,800 <br />1 <br />583631 <br />Lake Catamount <br />51134.46995 <br />4,000 <br />2 <br />. Note: ine first storage right is to excess of the reported physical capacity. The reservoir was modeled <br />with a physical capacity of 7,422 acre -feet. <br />' There are no operating policies modeled at Lake Catamount. According to the Division 6 engineer <br />and water commissioner, the reservoir is normally operated to keep it full. Historically, there has been <br />a practice to lower the reservoir by releasing approximately 2,000 acre -feet in October to provide a <br />' measure of protection against the formation of frazil ice near the reservoir inlet during the winter <br />months. This practice is being discontinued and was therefore not reflected as an operational storage <br />t target in the CRDSS modeling effort. <br />4.5.6 Fish Creek Reservoir <br />' The existing Fish Creek Reservoir (WDID 583508) is owned by the city of Steamboat Springs and is <br />used as reserve raw water storage for the city and for the Mt. Werner Water & Sanitation District. <br />The present capacity, all of which is active, is approximately 1,842 acre -feet. <br />' Fish Creek Reservoir is operated with the accounts and water rights shown in Tables 4.5.6a -c. <br />TABLE 4.5.6A <br />Fish Creek Reservoir Accounts <br />■ <br />Reservoir Account Owner Ca aci acre -feet <br /> I I' Fish Creek 1 SS s -MtWer 4,042 <br />1 .1 <br />Operating Criteria File 4 -28 <br />
