Existing Water Right Information

Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer's Office
to identify any potential water availability problems. There are no decreed surface diversions
within this reach of stream, However, the City of Cripple Creek applied for a conditional storage
water right within this reach of stream, The proposed dam would inundate both Forest Service
and BLM lands and would require a right-of-way permit from both agencies. Based on this
analysis staff has determined that water is available for appropriation on Oil Creek, from its
headwaters to the confluence with Fourmile Creek, to preserve the natural environment to a
reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid existing water rights,
