<br />recommendation was further reduced to 0.7 cfs for the time period of September Ie' through <br />January 31 e' based on limited water availability. <br /> <br />Existing Water Right Information <br /> <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer Office <br />(DEO) to identifY any potential water availability problems. There are two decreed surface <br />diversions within this reach of stream (Bradbury and Helmke Ditches). According to the DEO, <br />downstream senior diversions should pull enough water through the proposed reach to satisfY the <br />recommended instream flow amount most of the time. Based on this analysis staff has <br />determined that water is available for appropriation on North East Creek, between the first <br />unnamed tributary downstream of King Reservoir and the confluence with East Creek, to <br />preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the <br />exercise of valid existing water rights. <br /> <br />CWCB Staff's Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br /> <br />Seament: unnamed tributary to East Creek <br />Upper Terminus: fust unnamed tributary downstream of King Reservoir <br />(Latitude 380 52' 58"N) (Longitude 108040' 19"W) <br />UTM ~ 4306 l40N 12701 944 E <br />SWNW S34 T13S RlOlW 6PM <br />1300' East of West Section Line 1990' South of North Section Line <br /> <br />Lower Terminus: confluence with East Creek <br />(Latitude 380 55' 06"N) (Longitude 108029' 55"W) <br />UTM ~ 43 10 49lN 127 16 874E <br />SW SE S18 T13S R99W 6PM <br />2600 ' West of East Section Line 780' North of South Section Line <br /> <br />Watershed: Lower Gunnison (HUC#: 14020005) <br />Counties: Mesa County <br />Length: 11.5 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Glade Park, Snyder Flats, Jacks Canyon, Island Mesa, Whitewater <br />Flow Recommendation: 5.0 cfs (April 1 e' - June 30th) <br />1.0 cfs (July 1 e' - August 31 e') <br />0.7 cfs (September 1 e' - January 31 e') <br />1.0 cfs (February 1 e' - March 31 e') <br /> <br />- 5 - <br />
