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 ten decreed surface diversions <br />within this reach of stream: Eastside Ditch (6.0 cfs, 1891/1903 appropriation), Home Ditch No. <br />182 (10.6 cfs, 1891/1903/1943 appropriation), Mitchell Ditch (3.0 cfs, 1891/1943 appropriation), <br />Japeck Ditches Nos. 1 -5 (6.5 cfs, 1890/1927 appropriation), Norman Ditch (12.0 cfs, <br />1903/1910/1925 appropriation), and Sharp Ditch (8.0 cfs, 1903/1910/1925 appropriation). Staff <br />has determined that water is available for appropriation on Cochetopa Creek, between the <br />confluence with Alkali Creek and the head gate of the South Krueger Ditch, to preserve the <br />natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid <br />existing water rights. <br />CWCB Staff s Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br />Segment: Confluence with Alkali Creek to Headgate of the South Krueger Ditch <br />Upper Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH ALKALI CREEK <br />(Latitude 38° 17' 35.08 "N) (Longitude 106'45' 36.33 "W) <br />UTM North: 4239798.60 UTM East: 346079.99 <br />NW NW S33 T47N R2E NMPM <br />1290' East of the West Section Line; 1210' South of the North Section Line <br />Lower Terminus: HEADGATE OF THE SOUTH KRUEGER DITCH <br />(Latitude 38° 31' 10.79 "N) (Longitude 106° 47' 20.01 "W) <br />UTM North: 4264991.75 UTM East: 344049.12 <br />SE SW S9 T48N R2E NMPM <br />1690' East of the West Section Line; 930' South of the North Section Line <br />Watershed: Tomichi (HUC #: 14020003) <br />Counties: Saguache <br />Length: 12.92 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Sawtooth Mountain, Iris <br />Existing ISF: 4- 84CW375, 8.5 cfs (January 1 — December 31) <br />Flow Recommendation (Increase): 6.8 cfs (May 1 — November 15) <br />-7- <br />
