2. The name of the stream involved:

Boulder Creek (instream flow) .

3. The source of the water is:

Boulder Creek, tributary to the South Platte River.

4. Pursuant to an agreement between the Colorado Water
Conservation Board and the City of Boulder dated July 20, 1990
and the addenda thereto the City of Boulder donated up to 15.5
cfs from sources on Boulder Creek and its tributaries to the
Water Conservation Board to be used for instream flow purposes.
These rights were decreed for instream flow purposes in 90CW193.

Subsequent to the donation by Boulder, extensive studies
were conducted for the Water Conservation Board by the Division
of Wildlife which recommended a 15 cfs/6 cfs instream flow on
Boulder Creek as the amounts necessary to preserve the natural
environment to a reasonable degree. The Water Conservation Board
staff undertook extensive studies to confirm the physical avail-
ability of water at these amounts and on November 10, 1993 the
Water Conservation Board adopted resolutions initiating the
process for implementation of an instream flow.

As limited by Board rule 6.03(a), the donated water rights
are not being, and will not be, used alone orcombined or stacked
with the water right decreed herein so as to cause the total
instream flow to exceed the minimum flow necessary to preserve
the natural environment to a reasonable degree as decreed herein.
Applicant shall first use the water right decreed herein to
satisfy the instream flow needs before calling for any portion of
the donated water rights for that purpose.

5. Legal description of the stream segment through which
an instream flow is claimed.
