However, the summer instream <br />flow recommendation was reduced to 4.0 cfs (8/1-10/31) based on the water availability analysis_ The <br />BLM believes the lower flow recommendation will still preserve the natural environment. <br />· CWCB staff has conducted a water availability analysis and determined these amounts are available for <br />the Board's appropriation. <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 valid 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 />_Prepared By: Uppendahl <br /> <br />1/15/98 <br /> <br />Reviewed By: Espegren <br /> <br />1/20/98 <br />
