<br />. <br /> <br />Members, CWCB <br />August 29, 1985 <br />Page three <br /> <br />flow conditions. Attention has been focused to some <br />extent on the Grand valley irrigation systems since <br />they are to be improved as a part of the Grand Valley <br />Salinity Control Unit and since the reach of the <br />Colorado River immediately below the Grand Valley <br />diversions is of inte~est to the U. S. Fish and Wild- <br />life Service. <br /> <br />(4) Wild and scenic river designations. <br /> <br />The environmental groups have proposed wild and scenic <br />river designation of various streams under federal <br />law as a means of protecting those streams from future <br />development, the intent being to benefit the subject <br />fish species. <br /> <br />(5) Appropriations of instream flows and acquisition <br />of existing water rights to be changed to instream <br />flows. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Considerable attention is being given, at the request <br />of the environmental groups, to the question of how <br />legally protectable instream flows can be established <br />for the benefit of ths subject fish species. This <br />matter is discussed further in the next section of <br />this memo. <br /> <br />The above items are <br />one or more of the three <br />those discussions here. <br /> <br />already discussed at some length in <br />cited papers.
