Due to requests from the Clear Creek Water Users <br />Alliance and the City of Idaho Springs, the Board deferred action <br />on the Clear Creek streams until certain studies could be <br />completed by the interested parties and reviewed by the Board's <br />staff. <br /> <br />Meetings were subsequently held between the Board staff, <br />Board member David Robbins, and the interested parties. As a <br />result of these meetings, the number of streams of concern was <br />narrowed down to Leavenworth Creek and two segments on the <br />mainstem of Chicago Creek. The remaining streams within the Clear <br />Creek basin from the January, 1984, Board meeting were given final <br />approval by the Board at the July 13, 1984, meeting. <br /> <br />Leavenworth Creek <br /> <br />The Adolph Coors Company is the owner of conditional storage <br />decrees in the upper reaches of Leavenworth Creek, namely for <br />Waldorf and Frost Reservoirs (Case No. W-ls2-73). Waldorf <br />Reservoir, which would be located east of the former town site of <br />Waldorf, has a decreed capacity of 400 acre-feet. Frost <br />Reservoir, which would be located approximately 2 miles upstream <br />from Waldorf, also has a decreed capacity of 400 acre-feet. <br />Conditional decrees for the reservoirs were obtained in 1966 and <br /> <br />718 <br />lev/crk <br />
