<br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br />INSTREAM FLOW RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY REPORT <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Stream: <br />County: <br />ISF ID#: <br /> <br />Fourmile Creek #0.5 <br />Fremont <br />95/2/ A-021.5 <br /> <br />Division: <br />Watershed: <br />DOW Code #: <br /> <br />2 <br />Arkansas River <br />31497 <br /> <br />iNSTREAM FLOW RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Flow (cfs): <br /> <br />7.5 (5/1-10/31) <br />4.5 (11/1-4/30) <br /> <br />Length (miles): <br /> <br />6.3 <br /> <br />Upper <br />Terminus: <br /> <br />conn Milsap Creek at <br />'at 38 34' 39"N long 105 14' 07"W <br /> <br />Lower <br />Terminus: <br /> <br />conn Wilson Creek at <br />lat 38 30' 11 "N long 105 12' 30"W <br /> <br />USGS QUAD(s): <br /> <br />Cooper Mountain <br /> <br />BASIS FOR INSTREAM FLOW RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />e: <br /> <br />The BLM documented that a natural environment is present in the form of a brown trout fishery. <br />Based on the BLM's biological recommendation, flows of 13 cfs, summer, and 4_5 cfs, winter, are <br />necessary to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree. However, the summer instream <br />flow recommendation was reduced to 7.5 cfs (5/1-10/31) based on the water availability analysis_ The <br />BLM believes the lower flow recommendation will still preserve the natural enviromnent. <br />· CWCB staff has conducted a water availability analysis and determined these amounts are available for <br />the Board's appropriation. <br /> <br />· CWCB staff has determined that adequate water supplies exist such that the natural environment may be <br />preserved without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of va lid existing water rights. <br /> <br />CONSULTATIONS: <br /> <br />BLM: Roy Smith <br /> <br />8/1/96 <br /> <br />DWR: Steve Witte <br /> <br />8/1/96 <br /> <br />CWCB STAFF: <br /> <br />_prepared By: Uppendahl <br /> <br />1/15/98 <br /> <br />Reviewed By: Espegren <br /> <br />1/20/98 <br />
