diminution in the amount of water available in priority to the <br /> anticipated CWCB instream flow and, (4) if the SG believes a <br /> material diminution exists, the SG will determine the appropriate <br /> management activities to implement to reasonably mitigate the <br /> decrease in water available in priority to the instream flow. If, in <br /> accordance with the SG's adopted Governance Protocol, the SG <br /> agrees that a material diminution exists, but is not able to reach <br /> consensus on any of the above, the SG agrees to proceed to <br /> elevate this matter to BLM pursuant to Section IV.e of the <br /> Implementation Outline. <br /> 6. If item 4, above, is not completed by the anticipated date, the SG <br /> will (1) determine the cause of the delay, (2) determine whether the <br /> delay causes any material adverse impact to the purpose of the <br /> Long-Term Protection Measures, and (3) if a material adverse <br /> impact is found, the SG will determine the appropriate management <br /> activities to implement to reasonably mitigate the material adverse <br /> impact. If, in accordance with the SG's adopted'Governance <br /> Protocol, the SG agrees that a material adverse impact exists, but <br /> is not able to reach consensus on any of the above, the SG agrees <br /> to elevate this matter to BLM pursuant to Section IV.e of the <br /> Implementation Outline. <br /> B. Measure 2: Delivery of water to downstream demands. Refer to section <br /> IV.b.ii of the Implementation Outline. <br /> 1. This is an existing feature of Colorado's stream administration and <br /> operations on the Colorado River that delivers previously stored <br /> water through the subject stream segments to downstream <br /> demands. No milestones are necessary to implement this existing <br /> long-term protection measure. <br /> C. Measure 3: Existing water rights administration. Refer to section IV.b.iii of <br /> the Implementation Outline. <br /> 1. This is an existing feature of Colorado's stream administration and <br /> operations on the Colorado River that operates to curtail diversions <br /> (or require the replacement of such diversions)from upstream <br /> junior water users to provide water through the subject stream <br /> segments for delivery to downstream senior water rights. No <br /> milestones are necessary to implement this existing long-term <br /> protection measure. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
