Statements of Opposition were filed against these <br />appropriations by Mt. Emmons Mining Company in July 1980'. <br /> <br />In an effort to address Mt. Emmons' concern with the <br />Board's appropriations, the staff extensively reviewed data <br />submitted by Mt. Emmons and the Division of Wildlife. Several <br />meetings were held to discuss this material. These efforts have <br />resulted in what the staff believes to be the best possible <br />recommendations based upon all available hydrological and <br />biological data. <br /> <br />The revisions (attached Exhibit A) on the Slate River, <br />Poverty Gulch, On-Be-Joyful Creek, and Carbon Creek include <br />additional segmenting of the original stream reaches and <br />modifications to the flows requested. (The original <br />recommendations are shown on Exhibit B.) <br /> <br />The Attorney General's office has been adviSed by Mt. <br />Emmons' that they will withdraw their Statements of Opposition <br />to the Board's instream flow filings if the Board approves these <br />revisions. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: Approve revisions to the Board's <br />lnstream flow appropriations on the Slate River, Poverty Gulch, <br />Oh-Be-Joyful Creek, and Carbon Creek as shown on Exhibit A. <br /> <br />DCM:dm <br />Attachment: Exhibit A and Exhibit B <br /> <br />524:again/4 <br /> <br />Robert :\.
