<br />'.: <br /> <br />;":fj <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CDPOR collected biologic and hydraulic data which were analyzed by the CDOW and Board staffs. ... <br />Based on the results of these analyses, the CDOW and CDPOR prepared recommendations of the _ <br />amount of water necessary to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree for each of the <br />streams on the attached list of Instream Flow Recommendations. <br /> <br />Water Availability Studies <br /> <br />The CWCB staff has conducted an evaluation of water availability for these streams. To detennine <br />the amount of water physically available for the Board's appropriations, the staff analyzed available <br />USGS gage records, available streamflow mo<iels, and/or utilized appropriate standard methods to <br />develop a hydrograph of mean monthly flows for each recommendation. The staff also relied upon <br />the flow measurements made as part of the field survey as an indicator of the amount of water <br />physically available in each stream and anal~ed the water rights tabulation for each stream and <br />consulted with the Division Engineer's Office to identify any potential water availability problems. <br />Based upon its analysis, the staffhas determined that water is available for appropriation on each <br />stream to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the <br />exercise of valid existing rights. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDA nON <br /> <br />For each stream listed in the attached List ofISF Recommendations, the staff recommends that the <br />Board: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />P onn its intent to appropriate instream flow water rights, for the stream segments identified <br />on the attached List ofISF Recommendations; <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. Direct the staff to Officially Notice the Board's intent to appropriate, as outlined in the <br />Procedures for New Appropriations adopted by the CWCB in 1997. <br /> <br />This action by the Board will start the Public Review and Comment and Board Action Phase (phase <br />Ill), as per the Procedures for New Instream Flow Appropriations, as adopted by the Board at its <br />May 1997 meeting (attached). Final decision by the Board on these recommendations will occur no <br />earlier than 120 days following the public notice. <br /> <br />Attachments (4) <br /> <br />DCMlmlu <br /> <br />C:IMARK\NEW _RECS\DIV _I\I997\DI",phasc.doc <br /> <br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />.e <br />
