Since this project involves a raw water diversion, the Board <br />is required to comment on the project's impact on existing instream flow water rights and <br />on compacts and/or equitable allocation decrees. <br /> <br />Project Summmy <br /> <br />Attached is the Project Summary which was prepared by the Authority. The <br />improvements which the Town is contemplating include: <br /> <br />replacement of an existing diversion structure on the Fraser River <br /> <br />construction of a new, backup well field <br /> <br />construction of new backwash ponds at the treatment plant, and, <br /> <br />extension of the existing water line to adjacent lands. <br /> <br />Staff Analysis <br /> <br />The Board has an instream flow appropriation on the Fraser River which extends <br />from the confluence of Ranch Creek to the confluence with the Colorado River (see <br />attached map). The Board's appropriation is for 30 cfs during the summer, and 19 cfs <br />during the winter. Based on discussions with the Authority and with representatives from <br />the Town, it does not appear that the improvements to the Fraser River structure will alter <br />
