A rating table for the <br />gage was developed from actual flow measurements taken at various times throughout the <br />period. The flows shown on the graph represent the average daily flows for each given <br />month. Based on the DOW biological analyses and the baseflow characteristics of the above <br />hydro graph, the instream flow recommendation is 2.2 cfs year round. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The DOW has documented that a natural environment is present in the form of a <br />naturally reproducing warm water fishery evidenced by the presence of western white <br />suckers, fathead minnows, and creek chubs. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The DOW has recommended that a year round flow of 2.2 cfs is necessary to <br />preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The CWCB staff has conducted a water availability analysis and determined that this <br />amount of water is available for the Board's appropriation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The CWCB staff has determined that adequate water supplies exist such that the <br />natural environment may be preserved without limiting or foreclosing the exercise <br />of valid existing water rights. <br /> <br />F;le:LDCRECDOC <br />
