<br />" <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Existing Water Right Information <br /> <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer's Office <br />to identify any potential water availability problems, Appendix D shows the decreed water rights <br />listed on the State Engineers Water Right Tabulation List within this reach of stream. The <br />surface diversions within this reach of stream total 145 cfs, Most of the stream diversions within <br />this reach of stream are junior in priority to senior diversions totaling 15 cfs, which are located <br />downstream of Wilson Creek (see Fourmile Creek Senior Water Rights in Appendix D). <br />However, there maybe times when the downstream senior water rights are not calling water <br />through this reach of stream, this may allow the upstream junior water rights to deplete some <br />parts of this stream reach, In addition, it maybe possible for upstream junior water rights to <br />divert water, depleting some parts of the stream reach before their irrigation return flows return <br />to the stream. Based on this analysis staff has determined that water should be available for <br />appropriation on Fourmile Creek, between Trail Gulch and Felch Creek, to preserve the natural <br />environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid existing <br />water rights, <br /> <br />CWCS Staff's Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br /> <br />Stream: Fourmile Creek <br />Water Division: 2 <br />Watershed: Fourmile Creek <br />Counties: Fremont <br />Upper Terminus: Trail Gulch at (Latitude 380 37' 34") (Longitude 1050 12' 58") <br />Lower Terminus: Felch Creek at (Latitude 380 32' 35") (Longitude 1050 13' 13") <br />Length: 6,9 Miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Cripple Creek South and Cooper Mountain <br />Flow Recommendation: 9,10 cfs (April 15th - October 14th) <br />4,75 cfs (October l5'h - April 14'h) <br /> <br />Fourmile_trai_ wilsonUSF _RPT <br />Last printed 01/07/00 2:40 PM <br />
