BASIS FOR INSTREAM FLOW RECOMMENDATION

. The BLM documented that a natural environment is present in the form of a rainbow trout fishery.
. Based on the BLM's biological recommendation, flows of2.5 cfs, summer, and 1.4 cfs, winter, are e
necessary to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree, However, the summer and winter
in stream flow recommendations were reduced to Ll cfs (7/15 -10/14)and 0,65 cfs (10/15-3/31) based
on the water availability analysis, The BLM believes the lower flow recommendation will still preserve
the natural environment.

. CWCB staff has conducted a water availability analysis and determined these amounts are available for
the Board's appropriation.
. CWCB staff has determined that adequate water supplies exist such that the natural environment may be
preserved without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid existing water rights.
