Evans <br />CWeB Director <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board Members <br /> <br />Dan McAuliffe <br />Deputy Director <br /> <br />From: Dan Merriman <br />Mark Uppendahl <br /> <br />Date: November 16, 1999 <br /> <br />Re: Agenda Item 8a, November 22-23, 1999, Board Meeting- <br />Stream and Lake Protection - Proposed Stipulations <br /> <br />Case Summary <br /> <br />This is an application for a plan for augmentation including exchange on the West, East and <br />Main stems of the Dolores River and their tributaries near the Town of Dolores in Dolores <br />County (see map attached to proposed decree). The Applicant (Dolores River Water <br />Conservancy District) is requesting the right to augment by exchange up to 400 acre-feet of <br />depletions from existing and future wells tributary to the Dolores River Basin with releases from <br />McPhee and Groundhog Reservoirs. All augmented depletions will occur within the District's <br />boundary. <br /> <br />The District's request to provide augmentation water to anywhere within the District's boundaries <br />has the potential to injure the Board's instream flow rights within the District. In addition to the <br />existing instream flow water rights held by the CWCB, any additional instream flow water rights <br />acquired by the CWCB in the future could potentially be injured by future exchanges <br />contemplated by this augmentation plan. <br /> <br />Flood Control and Floodplain Management -Larry Lang, Chief.
