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 <br />Willow Creek, between the confluence with Sugar Creek and the confluence with Blue Mesa <br />Reservoir, to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or <br />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 with Sugar Creek to Confluence with Blue Mesa Reservoir <br />Upper Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH SUGAR CREEK <br />(Latitude 38° 25'37.03"N) (Longitude 107° 02' 58.24 "W) <br />UTM North: 4255177.25 UTM East: 321097.92 <br />NE SW S12 T48N R2W NMPM <br />2420' East of the West Section Line; 1390' South of the North Section Line <br />Lower Terminus: CONFLUENCE WITH BLUE MESA RESERVOIR <br />(Latitude 38° 28' 14.74 "N) (Longitude 107'03'48.66"W) <br />UTM North: 4260066.22 UTM East: 319984.09 <br />NW NE S34 T49N R2W NMPM <br />2450' East of the West Section Line; 200' South of the North Section Line <br />Watershed: Upper Gunnison (HUC #: 14020002) <br />Counties: Gunnison <br />Length: 3.59 miles <br />USGS Quad: Big Mesa <br />Flow Recommendation: 2.3 cfs (April 1 — June 30) <br />0.5 cfs (July 1 — March 31) <br />-7- <br />
