BASIS FOR INSTREAM FLOW RECOMMENDATION

· The DOW documented that a natural enviromnent is present in the form of a brook, brown, rainbow and
cutthroat trout fishery.

;'
l -,

· Based on the DOW's biological recommendation, flows of 19 cfS, summer, and 9 c&, winter, are
necessary to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree. However, the winter instream
flow recommendation was reduced to 7 cfs (12/1-5/14) based on the water availability analysis. The
DOW believes the lower flow recommendation will still preserve the natural environment.
· CWCB staffhas conducted a water availability analysis and determined these amounts are available for
the Board's appropriation.
· CWCB staffhas determined that adequate water supplies exist such that the natural environment may be
preserved without limiting or foreclosing the exercise ofvaIid existing water rights.
