CWCB staff met with Wayne Schieldt of the Division <br />4 Engineer's Office on July 25, 1998, to discuss any water availability problems regarding the <br />proposed instream flow segments. As per the Procedures for New Instream Flow Appropriations <br />(Procedures), adopted by the Board in May of 1997, the attached Phase III streams are being <br />proposed for Board appropriation. The Board at its July 1998, meeting, formed its intent to <br />appropriate the attached stream segments in Ouray County (see attached map). At this meeting the <br />proposed ISF segments were advanced to the Public Review and Comment and Board Action Phase, <br />or Phase III. <br /> <br />The public has had at least 120 days, to provide written and/or verbal comments to the Board and <br />staff. Please find attached any written comments received by the Board or staff during this time. <br />The Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (CDPOR), the Colorado Division of <br />Wildlife (CDO W) and several interested parties (see attached letters) identified these stream reaches <br />for inclusion into the instream flow program. <br /> <br />TECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS <br /> <br />The enclosed packet oftechnical data forms the basis for the staffs recommendations and reflects <br />any changes to the instream flow recommendations as a result of the 120 day Public review and <br /> <br />Page 1 00 <br />
