<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3. Joe Wright Reservoir was constructed several years <br />before the appropriation date for the minimum streamflow water <br />right. The outlet structure for Joe Wright Reservoir is con- <br />structed in a manner that does not allow water to be released <br />under freezing conditions. Because of the altitude and exposure <br />of Joe Wright Reservoir, freezing conditions commonly occur from <br />late in October until early to mid-June. The actual operating <br />history of Joe Wright Reservoir has necessitated closing the <br />outlet gates once freezing occurs, and leaving them closed until <br />the spring thaw is completed. The objector has supplied the CWCB <br />with an affidavit which substantiates this historic practice. <br />This practice is recognized pursuant to S 37-92-l02(3)(b), C.R.S. <br />(1992) and as a result, this minimum streamflow water right will <br />not require releases from Joe Wright Reservoir at any time when <br />the outlet structure cannot reasonably be operated because of <br />freezing conditions, or require reconstruction of the outlet <br />structure in any manner to provide for releases under freezing <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Dated this <br /> <br />i4br; day of <br /> <br />f1; <br /> <br />1993. <br /> <br />GALE A.
