A review of the facts of this application for a finding of reasonable diligence for a <br /> Recreational In-Channel Diversion ("RICD") indicates that the Colorado Water Conservation <br /> Board ("CWCB") holds a decree for an instream flow ("ISF") water right on the Blue River that <br /> may be impacted by this application. Additionally,this RICD application may affect Colorado's <br /> ability to utilize waters of the state. Therefore, the CWCB requests that the Office of the <br /> Attorney General file a Statement of Opposition. The main concern that should be addressed in <br /> the Statement of Opposition is as follows: <br /> • The CWCB would like to ensure that the Applicant has provided proper evidence to support <br /> its claim for a finding of reasonable diligence in Case No. 5-13CW3057. Improper diligence <br /> or perfection of this RICD may affect Colorado's ability to promote maximum utilization of <br /> the waters of the State. <br /> This Statement of Opposition must be filed with the Division 5 Water Court by the last day of <br /> December 2014. <br /> Interstate Compact Compliance•Watershed Protection•Flood Planning&Mitigation•Stream&Lake Protection <br /> Water Project Loans&Grants•Water Modeling•Conservation&Drought Planning•Water Supply Planning <br />
