Existing Water Right Information <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and has discussed the water availability analysis <br />with the Division Engineer Office (DEO). There are four decreed surface diversions within this <br />reach of stream: Richards Pump Station No. 1 (12.326 cfs, 1894 /1896 /1902 /1926 appropriations), <br />Blake & Payson Pump Station (6cfs, 1917 appropriation), Johnson Ditch (50.55 cfs, <br />1891 /1903 /1913 appropriations) and San Miguel Power Co. Canal (40 cfs, 1926 appropriation) <br />Staff has determined that water is available for appropriation on the San Miguel River between <br />the confluence with Calamity Draw and the confluence with the Dolores River, to preserve the <br />natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid <br />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 with Calamity Draw to Confluence with Dolores River <br />Upper Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH CALAMITY DRAW <br />(Latitude 380 15' 23.58 "N) (Longitude 1080 36' 48.82 "W) <br />UTM North: 4240458.99 UTM East: 183798.21 <br />SE NE S10 T46N R16W NMPM <br />285' West of the East Section Line; 1890' South of the North Section Line <br />Lower Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH DOLORES RIVER <br />(Latitude 38° 22' 46.6 "N) ( Longitude 108048' 1.3 "W) <br />UTM North: 4254788.31 UTM East: 167725.50 <br />SW SE S25 T23N RI 8W NMPM <br />2120' West of the East Section Line; 290' North of the South Section Line <br />Watershed: San Miguel (HUC #: 14030003) <br />Counties: Montrose <br />Length: 17.24 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Nucla, Uravan, Atkinson Creek, Red Canyon <br />Flow Recommendation: 325 cfs (April 15 — June 14) <br />170 cfs (June 15 — July 31) <br />115 cfs (August 1 — August 31) <br />80 cfs (September 1 — February 29) <br />115 cfs (March 1 — April 14) <br />-10- <br />
