CO 80111 <br /> <br />Gen tlemen : <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board wishes to inform you that <br />your letter of June 25, 1980 regarding minimum streamflow recommendations <br />On the COlorado River was received and read into the record at the Board's <br />July 8, 1980 meeting in Denver, Colorado. <br /> <br />We appreciate your efforts to bring to our attention your interest <br />in the subject stream segment. However, it must be emphasized that no <br />consideration was given to the land values to which you referred either by <br />the staff in making their recommendations or by the Board in their approval <br />of the recommendations. <br /> <br />The minimum streamflow recommendations which are presented to the <br />Board for their consideration are based solely upon hydrologic and biologic <br />investigations performed jointly by the Colorado Water Conservation Board, <br />the Colorado Division of Wildlife, and the Colorado Division of Parks and' <br />Outdoor Recreation. The purpose of these investigations is to determine <br />the flows which will "preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree", <br />as per Senate Bill 97 (section 37-92-102, CRS 1973, as amended). Riparian <br />land values are not addressed in these investigations nor are they recognized <br />by the Constitution of the State of Colorado. <br />
