Boal-d, <br /> <br />We appreciate Dan Merriam 'and'Ma"'k Uppendahl 'coming to our <br />meeting On November 9 to explain the minim~\m stream ,flow.' Thank <br />yo~\. <br /> <br />You will find ou~ statistic objections in the letters from Four <br />Mile Water Users and The Pisgah Reservoir and Ditch,~ompany. <br /> <br />We asked Dan and Made several times why there is a minimum <br />in stream flow right needed. The most prevalent answer was because <br />BLM requested it. <br /> <br />We have to wond~r what the BLM has in mind, if it is to preserve <br />the fish and wild life and the habitat of the creek then the <br />instream f~~w is certainly unnessary. The fish and wildlife have <br />survived Xpr not survived) all these years. An instream flow <br />would not help make water. You cannot control the weather - when <br />it's dry it's dry and when it's wet its wet. The wildlife <br />adj~lst. <br /> <br />We believe it goes further - to the fact that BLM gave us a "Gold <br />Belt Back Country By-Way" that is advertised nation wide and a <br />"Climbing Area" that 'is advertised world wide, now BLM has <br />a DinasQ~lr Museum in the making.: <br /> <br />With BLM maKing ~his request for no feasable reaso~,- it makes us <br />wonder just what they really have in store for this area in the <br />future. Do they want it for fishermen or'is it possible that down <br />the road .' it is meant to go O~lt of state? ~Je believe you need a <br />better reason for taking this water - rather than BLM requested <br />us to do this. <br /> <br />Thank you for considering our opinion. <br /> <br />~~~ <br /> <br />Beneta Canterbury <br /> <br />/J.ih>_eZ; ~z;-~ <br /> <br />'7 <br />
