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 is one decreed surface diversion <br />within this reach of stream, Transformer Ditch and Pipeline (0.050 cfs with a 1990 <br />appropriation). Staff has determined that water is available for appropriation on the Animas <br />River, between the confluence with Cunningham Creek and the confluence with Arrastra Creek, <br />to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the <br />exercise of valid 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 w/ Cunningham Creek to Confluence w/ Arrastra Creek <br />Upper Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH CUNNINGHAM CREEK <br />(Latitude 37° 50' 11.15 "N) (Longitude 107035' 51.91 "W) <br />UTM North: 4190846.86 UTM East: 271398.94 <br />NE SE S2 T41N R7W NMPM <br />475' West of the East Section Line; 1600' North of the South Section Line <br />Lower Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH ARRASTRA CREEK <br />(Latitude 37° 49' 37.72 "N) (Longitude 1070 37' 36.85 "W) <br />UTM North: 41989888.34 UTM East: 268804.51 <br />SE NW S10 T41N R7W NMPM <br />1660' East of the West Section Line; 1775' South of the North Section Line <br />Watershed: Animas (HUC #: 14080104) <br />Counties: San Juan <br />Length: 1.94 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Howardsville <br />Flow Recommendation: 25.0 cfs (May 1 — October 31) <br />13.0 cfs (November 1 — April 30) <br />-7- <br />
