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 of 3.4 cfs, summer, and 1.4 cfs, winter, are tit
necessary to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree, However, the summer instream
flow recommendation was reduced to 2,0 cfs (7/15 - 10/31) 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,
