<br />Existing Water Right Information <br /> <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer's Office <br />(DEO) to identify any potential water availability problems. There is one decreed surface <br />diversion within this reach of stream (Little Rock Ditch). According to the DEO, there is usually <br />sufficient water available below the Little Rock Ditch's headgate to satisfy the recommended <br />instream flow amount. Based on this analysis, staff has determined that water is available for <br />appropriation on Coal Creek, from Little Gunnison Creek to Anthracite Creek, to preserve the <br />natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid <br />existing water rights. <br /> <br />CWCB Staff's Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Based on the CDOW & CDPOR recommendation, staff recommends the Board form its intent to <br />appropriate on the following stream reach: <br /> <br />Seqment: Little Gunnison Creek to Anthracite Creek <br />Upper Terminus: Little Gunnison Creek at <br />(Latitude 380 51' 47"N) (Longitude 1070 19' 41"W) <br />UTM = 4304 166N 13 298015 E <br />NE SW S3 Tl4S R89W 6PM <br />1570' East of West Section Line 2450' North of South Section Line <br /> <br />Lower Terminus: Anthracite Creek <br />(Latitude 380 55' 37"N) (Longitude 107020' 27"W) <br />UTM = 43 II 270N 13 297 08lE <br />NWNE SI6 Tl3S R89W 6PM <br />2100' West of East Section Line 750' South of North Section Line <br /> <br />Water shed: North Fork Gunnison River (HUC: 14020004) <br />Counties: Gunnison <br />Length: 4.8 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): West Beckwith Peak, Paonia Reservoir <br />Flow Recommendation: 39 cfs (April I - July 14) <br />21 cfs (July 15 - November 14th) <br />th th <br />18 cfs (November 15 - February 14 ) <br />21 cfs (February 15th - March 31 et) <br /> <br />-6- <br />
