<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Phase ill - Public Review and CommentIBoard Action <br /> <br />The following 4 stream segments are currently in Phase 3 : <br /> <br />Fourmile Creek (4 Segments) - These segments are located in Fremont and Teller Counties. <br />These segments were identified by the BLM for inclusion into the instream flow program and <br />would be based on a cold water trout fishery. The Board tabled any action on these segments <br />until additional biological and hydrological data could be collected. <br /> <br />Phase II - StatTReview and Processing <br /> <br />Staffis currently processing 14 stream segments in Water Division 2. Stream segments of special <br />significance include: <br /> <br />· Purgatorie River and Long Canyon Creek - These segments are located in Las Animas <br />County. These segments were identified by the DOW and DPOR for inclusion into the <br />instream flow program and are important because they flow into Trinidad State Park and <br />would be based on a warm and cool water fishery. <br /> <br />Phase I - Coordination, Planning and Field Data Collection <br /> <br />Approximately 125 additional stream segments have been identified for field data collection in <br />Water Division 2. Field data regarding most of the Phase 1 segments is anticipated to be <br />collected using the R2X Methodology and standard fish sampling techniques. The natural <br />environment to be preserved is generally a cold water fishery. Exceptions to the cold water <br />fishery environment could include streams located in Las Animas County. In addition, the United <br />States Forest Service (USFS) has requested that some of the Board's existing instream flow water <br />rights be enlarged (designated by an "E") and that some instream flow recommendations and <br />existing water rights should be enlarged to provide for a maximum or a high flow (designated by <br />"HF"). Staffis currently waiting for the flow recommendations and a proposed methodology for <br />the enlargement and high flow numbers proposed by the USFS. <br /> <br />Water Division 3 <br /> <br />Approximately 97 potential new instream flow segments have been identified in Water Division 3. <br />These segments have been placed in the following Phase classifications. <br /> <br />Phase ill - Public Review and CommentIBoard Action <br /> <br />There are no stream segments currently in Phase 3 in Water Division 3 at this time. <br /> <br />Phase II - StatT Review and Processing <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />o <br />
