Existing Water Right Information <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and contacted the Division Engineer Office (DEO) <br />to identify any potential water availability problems. There are no decreed surface diversions <br />within this reach of stream. Staff has determined that water is available for appropriation on Blue <br />Creek, between the confluence with big Blue Creek and Little Blue Creek to the confluence with <br />Morrow Point Reservoir, to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without <br />limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid existing water rights. <br />CWCB Staffs Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br />Segment: Confluence of Big Blue Creek and Little Blue Creek to Confluence <br />with Morrow Point Reservoir <br />Upper Terminus: CONFLUNCE OF BIG BLUE CREEK AND LITTLE BLUE CREEK <br />(Latitude 38° 24' 16.39 "N) (Longitude 107° 24' 28.17"W) <br />UTM North: 4253447.95 UTM East: 289751.74 <br />NW NW S23 T48N R5W NMPM <br />1130' East of the West Section Line; 620' South of the North Section Line <br />Lower Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH MORROW POINT RESERVOIR <br />(Latitude 38126' 58.62 "N) (Longitude 107124'46.02'V) <br />UTM North: 4258460.48 UTM East: 289449.78 <br />NE NE S3 T48N R 5W NMPM <br />270' West of the East Section Line; 2175' South of the North Section Line <br />Watershed: Upper Gunnison (HUC #: 14020002) <br />Counties: Gunnison <br />Length: 3.53 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Curencanti Needle <br />Existing ISF: 4- 84CW839, 7 cfs (January 1 — December 31) <br />Flow Recommendation (increase): 4.5 cfs (April 1 — July 31) <br />i <br />
