SUBJECT: Agenda Item 9b, January 14-15, 1985, Board Meeting--
Ratify Stipulations
Case No. 1-82CW305, city of Louisville

Background

In 1982, the City of Louisville filed an application
requesting a change in points of diversion and use of the
City's interest in South Boulder and Enterprise Ditches.
The proposed change entails transferring 4.06 cfs from
points downstream of the Board's instream flow reach to
three locations upstream of Eldorado Springs within the
instream flow reach. Once decreed, the changed water right tt
will bear a very senior priority date (1865), and could
potentially injure the lower 5.5 miles of the Board's
instream flow reach.

At the Board's request, an Entry of Appearance was
filed in this case in June, 1983.

Staff Action

An agreement has been reached between CWCB staff and
the City of Louisville which adequately protects the Board's
water rights. The City haG included language in paragraph
15J of the proposed decree which effectively subordinates
the changed water right to the Board's instream flow right
on South Boulder Creek.

A copy of the proposed stipulation is attached for your
information.

Staff Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board ratify the proposed
stipulation and authorize the staff to maintain the Entry of
Appearance until such time as a stipulated decree is
executed.
