The Town of Vail designed and constructed three flow deflector and <br /> control structures on Gore Creek, which form the Town of Vail Whitewater Park(the"Park"). <br /> The Park was built by modifying the existing channel of Gore Creek in Eagle County, Colorado <br /> with dam and deflector structures that control, concentrate and direct the flow of Gore Creek in <br /> order to serve the beneficial uses described herein, including the formation of a white water <br /> course for recreational use by kayaks, canoes, rafts, and other boats. These structures also <br /> establish fish habitat and therefore serve piscatorial purposes. The District provides water and <br /> sewer service to the Town of Vail. By Memorandum of Understanding dated November 16, <br /> 2000, the Town of Vail and the District agreed to the manner in which the Park would be <br /> operated in relation to area municipal and snowmaking water rights, and the District agreed to <br /> adjudicate and own the water rights for the Park. Pursuant to this Memorandum of <br /> Understanding, the District seeks conditional water rights for each of the three structures which <br /> constitute the Park based upon the amount of water controlled and applied to beneficial use by <br /> these structures. <br /> 4.
