Based on the BLM's biological recommendation, flows of 1.5 cfs, summer, and 0.6 cfs, winter, are <br />necessary to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree. However, the summer and winter <br />instream flow recommendations were reduced to 1.0 cfs (911-10/14), 0.4 (10/15-3131) and 0.75 (4/1- <br />4130) based on the water availability analysis. The BLM believes the lower flow recommendation will <br />still preserve the natural environment. <br />· CWCB staff has conducted a water availability analysis and determined these amounts are available for <br />the Board's appropriation. <br />· CWCB staff has determined that adequate water supplies exist such that the natural environment may be <br />preserved without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid existing water rights. <br /> <br />CONSULTATIONS: <br /> <br />BLM: Roy Smith <br /> <br />8/26/96 <br /> <br />DWR: Ken Knox <br /> <br />8/26/96 <br /> <br />CWCB STAFF: <br /> <br />Prepared By: Uppendahl <br />tit .. <br /> <br />4/15/98 <br /> <br />Reviewed By: Espegren <br /> <br />5/1198 <br /> <br />C:\MARK\NEW _RECs\WP'l\RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY REPORT.doe <br />
