The gage flows were also adjusted to <br />account for 1.5 cfs of donated rights from the City of Boulder, and historic tributary gains from Sherwood <br />Creek. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />The DOW has documented that a natural environment is present in the form of a Brook <br />and Rainbow Trout fishery. <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />The DOW has recommended that a flow of 5 cfs in the summer together with a flow of <br />2 cfs in the winter are necessary to preserve the nanrral environment to a reasonable <br />degree. <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />The CWCB staff has conducted a water availability analysis and determined these <br />amounts are available for the Board's appropriation. <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />The CWCB staff has determined that adequate water supplies exist such that the natural <br />environment may be preserved without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid <br />existing water rights, <br /> <br />File: NBCLREC.DOC <br /> <br />e <br />
