Tables 2 and 3 also show that the winter recommendation of 2.1 cfs is available only 1 % <br />of the time in October and February and 10% of the time in March throughout the entire reach. <br />Based on the above water availability analysis and the requirement of the CWCB staff to balance <br />the needs of mankind with a reasonable preservation of the natural environment the <br />recommended summer and winter flows of 5.0 cfs and 2.1 cfs were reduced further. CWCB <br />staff recommends that the proposed flow recommendation be changed to 5.0 cfs (April 15 - June <br />30), 2.0 cfs (July I - August 31), 0.8 cfs (September 1 - March 14) and 1.3 cfs eMarch 15 - <br />April 14). Tables 4 and 5 below show how often the new flow recommendations are available at <br />the upstream and downstream tenninus in orange shading. <br />Table 4: East Fork Parachute Creek downstream of First Anvil Creek <br /> <br /> % ,. 2 17. 7.92 4, 1. 1. 1. <br /> 1 % 1.1 .7 7. 1, 1. 1, <br /> 20% 0.74 0.91 2.00 18.00 95.00 21.00 4.60 2.30 1.40 1.20 1.10 0.91 <br /> 50% 0,62 0.70 1.00 5.90 39.50 7 2.60 1.50 1.00 0.98 0.92 0.64 <br />e % 0,44 ,2 0.81 1.90 14 .4 0.34 0.71 0.4 <br />% 0,3 0,7 1.1 1,27 2 .1 0,2 0,39 ,46 <br /> % .1 0, 1 34 ,12 .7 .17 .2 0,4 ,8 <br /> Table 5: East Fork Parachute Creek upstream of Bull Gulch <br />:x 0 n F March A ril M n A 51 Imber b r Nvm r D m r <br /> % 4 1 .1 64. 7. ,. .1 1.74 1. <br /> % 1. .1 4, 1 8. 4.50 1.1 1.1 <br /> 20% 0.99 1.22 2.68 24,OS 127.10 28,10 6.15 3.OS 1.87 1.61 1.47 1.22 <br /> 50% 0.83 0.94 1.34 7.89 52.85 9.77 3.48 2.01 1.34 1.31 1.23 0.98 <br /> % ,9 .7 1. 2, 4.01 1 7 1. 7 0, ,4 ,4 <br /> , <br /> % ,4 04 .7 1,0 1.22 .4 0.1 0.10 ,23 .3 O. 1 <br /> <br />Precipitation Data <br />Staff reviewed local precipitation data sets from 4 different sites located around the JQS Gulch <br />Drainage (see Precipitation Data in Appendix C).
