Releases from the reservoir are made when there are water shortages at the city's <br />municipal intake (the Fish Creek Municipal Intake (WDID 580642)). <br />TABLE 4.5.6C <br />Fish Creek Reservoir Operating Rights <br />System <br />I Admin # Type <br />I Description <br />OPR FISH CR M &I MTW &SS <br />1 42156.00001 2 <br />Release for direct diversion <br />Operating right 1 releases water from account 1 to the Fish Creek Municipal Intake (580642). The <br />administration number for this operating right is junior to both the direct flow right at the Fish Creek <br />Municipal Intake and the storage right at Fish Creek Reservoir. The amount of water released to the <br />direct diversion is restricted by the amount currently available in the account. <br />4. S. 7 Steamboat Lake Reservoir <br />Steamboat Lake (WDID 583787) is located on Willow Creek, a tributary of the Elk River. The <br />reservoir is owned and operated by the Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (CPOR) <br />and is used primarily for recreational and industrial purposes. According to the design plans for the <br />reservoir and the elevation- capacity table, the capacity at the normal spillway elevation is <br />approximately 23,064 acre -feet. This capacity represents the active capacity of the reservoir because <br />there is no dead storage below the elevation of the outlet works. Historically, CPOR has been allowed <br />to store water above the normal spillway elevation, encroaching upon the flood surcharge capacity of <br />the reservoir. This arrangement has been made permanent with the installation of gates in the <br />spillway to allow this storage and by obtaining an additional water right to store in the additional <br />capacity (approximately 3,300 acre- feet). <br />Steamboat Lake Reservoir is operated with the accounts and storage rights shown in Tables 4.5.7a -c. <br />TABLE 4.5.7A <br />Steamboat Lake Reservoir Accounts <br />Reservoir <br />Account <br />Owner <br />Ca aci (acre -feet <br />Steamboat Lake <br />1 <br />Ha denSt <br />5,000 <br />Steamboat Lake <br />1 2 <br />Consv- ool <br />21,364 <br />I Operating Criteria File 4.29 <br />
