<br />average daily stream flow from October 11 through October 15 of <br />each year. <br /> <br />In addition to the multi-stage instream flows described <br />above, the CWCB's instream flow within this reach of Snowmass <br />Creek will also be administered so as to provide additional <br />protection following extremely dry periods, identified by the <br />occurrence of, three consecutive "less than lOth percentile years" <br />(as defined in the Table 1). Following such extremely dry <br />periods, a "recovery year" will be provided in which the stream <br />reach will be administered using the "50th percentile year or <br />greater" multi-stage instream flow, regardless of the instream <br />flow trigger in the recovery year. <br /> <br />Within this middle segment of Snowmass Creek, daily <br />administration of the multi-stage instream flow shall include a <br />certain degree of flexibility between November 15 and December 21 <br />of each year. Specifically, during this time period the multi- <br />stage instream flow will be administered based on a 24-hour, <br />rolling average and for periods of no more than 6 hours in any <br />24-hour period, junior diversions will be allowed to <br />instantaneously reduce the flow in the creek below the multi- <br />stage instream flow amounts by up to 2 cfs provided that: <br /> <br />(a) at no time will such junior diversions cause the stream <br />flow to fall below 7 cfs, and <br /> <br />(b) at no time will the 24-hour rolling average fall below' <br />the multi-stage instream flow amounts. <br /> <br />The multi-stage winter instream flow is specific to the <br />facts and situations encountered within this middle segment of <br />Snowmass Creek and shall not be applied to other reaches of <br />Snowmass Creek or to any other instream flow filing. <br /> <br />Table 1. - Multi-stage winter instream flows on the reach of <br />Snowmass Creek between West Snowmass Creek and Capitol <br />Creek. <br /> <br />Percentile Predict~ Recurrence Instream Flow Trigger Multi.stage Instream Flows <br />WarerYear (Average daily stream flow from October <br /> Interval 11 through October IS) <br />SOth% or Greau:r 1:2 Greater than or equal to 29.0 cfs 12 cf, (10/16-11130) <br /> 10 cf, (12/1-3/31) <br />25th% 10 50th % 1:4 to 1:2 Less than 29.0 cfs and 12 cf, (10/16-10/31) <br /> .
