It is staffs opinion that the 66 years of stream-flow data analyzed is representative of <br />average water-years. <br /> <br />Existing Water Right Information <br /> <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer Office to <br />identify any potential water availability problems. There are several junior decreed surface <br />diversions within this reach of stream. However, there are several senior water rights <br />downstream that should call enough water through this reach of stream to satisfy the requested <br />instream flow amounts. Based on this analysis staff has determined that water is available for <br />appropriation on La Garita Creek, between the Sentry Box Dam Site and the Biedell Ditch No. <br />10 Diversion, to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or <br />foreclosing the exercise of valid existing water rights. <br /> <br />- 6 - <br />
