Existing Water Right Information <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer Office <br />(DEO) to identify any potential water availability problems. There is .one decreed surface <br />diversion located at the end of this reach, the Decker Ditch No. 1 (11.0 cfs with a 1924 <br />appropriation date). Staff's analysis has determined that water is available for appropriation on <br />West Prong South Fork Slater Creek, from the headwaters to the headgate of the Decker Ditch <br />No. 1, to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing <br />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: Headwaters to Headgate of Decker Ditch No. 1 <br />Upper Terminus: HEADWATERS IN THE VICINITY OF <br />(Latitude 40° 46' 33.14 "N) (Longitude 107° 21' 18.54 "W) <br />UTM North: 4516545.97 UTM East: 301250.49 <br />NE SE S34 TI ON R89W 6' PM <br />260' West of the East Section Line; 1255' North of the South Section Line <br />Lower Terminus: HEADGATE OF DECKER DITCH NO. 1 <br />(Latitude 40° 48' 53.13 "N) (Longitude 107° 18' 1.02 "W) <br />UTM North: 4520739.95 UTM East: 305994.29 <br />SE NE S19 TI ON R88W 6" PM <br />935' West of the East Section Line; 1775' South of the North Section Line <br />Watershed: Little Snake (HUC #: 14050003) <br />Counties: Routt <br />Length: 4.58 miles <br />USGS Quad: Buck Point <br />Flow Recommendation: 4.9 cfs (March 1 — July 31) <br />3.5 cfs (August 1 — October 31) <br />2.5 cfs (November 1 — February 29) <br />-7- <br />
