<br />. ~ <br /> <br />..., <br />~ ,'~" <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />wetted perimeter, allowing the macroinvertebrate food supply to be maintained for the fish <br />population. <br /> <br />Relationship to Management Plans. The White River Resource Management Plan identifies <br />Bitter Creek as a fishery that BLM will make special efforts to protect via grazing management, <br />stipulations on usage permits, and stream improvement projects. This plan also specifies that <br />BLM will seek instream flow protection from the Colorado Water Conservation Board for all <br />fisheries in this category. BLM is very interested in protecting streamf10ws because Bitter Creek <br />is the only creek within an area of several hundred square miles that supports a self-sustaining <br />fishery. <br /> <br />The BLM requests that the Board recognize that this recommendation is based only upon the <br />minimum flows necessary to support cold-water fishery values. BLM may wish to work with the <br />Board and/or through the Colorado water rights system to appropriate flows to optimally protect <br />fish values and to protect other water-dependent values specified in BLM Resource Management <br />Plans. <br /> <br />Data sheets, R2Cross output, fishery survey information, and photographs of the cross section are <br />enclosed to support this recommendation. We thank both the Division of Wildlife and the Water <br />Conservation Board for their cooperation in this effort. <br /> <br />. If you have any questions regarding our instream flow recommendation, please contact Roy Smith <br />at 303-239-3940. <br /> <br />c........... <br /> <br />d~- <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />_L~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />James E.
