<br />Table 2 shows that the summer flow recommendation of 12.9 cfs is available at least 50% of the <br />time for the month of April Ie' through July 31e'- The winter flow recommendation of 7.7 cfs is <br />available at least 50% of the time from (August 1 e' - November 14th and March 1 e' - March 31 e'). <br />Based on water availability, the winter recommendation was further reduced to 6.5 cfs for the <br />time period of November 15th - February 29th. <br /> <br />Precipitation Data <br />Staff reviewed a local preCipitation data set from one site located around the Smith Fork <br />Gunnison Drainage (see Precipitation Data in Appendix C). Table 3 shows the water year and <br />the percent of average precipitation recorded at each site. It is staff's opinion that the 60 years of <br />stream-flow data analyzed is representative of average water-years. <br /> <br />Table 3: Precipitation Data as a percentage of Average <br /> <br /> Elevation = 5690 <br /> Lat 38 5200 <br /> Long 107 35 00 <br />Year Paonia lSW <br />1957 50% <br />1958 88% <br />1959 87% <br />1960 86% <br />1961 108% <br />1962 103% <br />1963 102% <br />1964 115% <br />1965 136% <br />1966 89% <br />1967 91% <br />1968 100% <br />1969 110% <br />1970 130% <br />1971 119% <br />1972 75% <br />1973 Not Available <br />1974 77% <br />1975 61% <br />1976 57% <br />1977 64% <br />1978 Not Available <br />1979 100% <br />1980 111% <br />1981 106% <br />1982 107% <br />1983 130% <br />1984 Not Available <br />1985 147% <br /> <br />- 5 - <br />
