Walker <br />Director <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Members, CWCB <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Dan Merriman <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />September 12, 1991 <br /> <br />Agenda Item 22b, September 19-20, 1991, Board Meeting-- <br />Instream Flow Program: Informational Items <br />Division of Wildlife, Buena Vista Fish Rearing Unit <br /> <br />SUBJECf: <br /> <br />The Colorado Division of Wildlife is contemplating an expansion of the fish <br />rearing unit which is located at the Buena Vista Correctional Facility. Inmate labor <br />is used to operate the unit which currently produces about 15,400 pounds of trout per <br />year. Preliminary analyses indicate that trout production could be expanded to a <br />rnaximum of 221,000 pounds per year. Such an expansion will require a near <br />continuous flow of 12.5 cfs on a year-round basis. The Division is exploring <br />alternatives for providing the water in part from Cottonwood Creek. Since the Board <br />holds an iustrearn flow water right on Cottonwood Creek for 20 cfs which could be <br />affected by such a developrnent, the Division has requested an opportunity to brief the <br />Board on its plan at the Board's September 1991 meeting. <br /> <br />DCMj gl <br /> <br />g10101.agi <br />
