I-ie wanted to get our Eeelings <br />on his proposals, Once we reach agreement with Bratton, he will <br />call a speci�7. meeting of the District I3oard i.o conside.r the <br />seti�l�m�n�.. <br />I have revi�wed Bratton's proposals on each of the following <br />cases. I summarize �them below and offer my recommendations: <br />4-80CW085 - Quartz Creek (N & M Quartz to Gol.d Creek) - Bratton <br />' wants us to reduce our flow amount, which is 10 c�s. <br />In my conversat�.ons with Water Commissioner John <br />Garber, he said Quartz Creek was a very productive <br />drai.nag� and that water availability has never been a <br />problem. I recommend that we not cl�ange our <br />appropriated amount in this case. <br />4-80CW087 - Lake Fork Gunn�.son River (Sloan Lake to Cottonw�od <br />y+ Creek'} -+Bratton+proposed that we lower the amount <br />appropri�ted in this case. We applied for 18 cfs. <br />Wa�.e.r Commissioner John Garber fe�.t this amount was <br />r.ea�onabl� and tha� availability was not a problem. <br />Y recatnmend that we not change our appropriation. <br />4-80CW092_� Slate_River (Poverty Gulch to Oh-Be-Joyful Creek) - <br />Bratton wants the Elow lowered Erom 15 cfs to 10 <br />c:Es. The 15 cfs was arrived at as a result of <br />extensive negotiations with, and field work by Mt. <br />Fmmons Mining . :L see no need to change our <br />.�� <br />702 <br />Divi.sion <br />,� <br />, <br />
