<br />....... . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Relationship to Management Plans. The BLM is very interested in protecting stream flows <br />because flow regimes on creeks located in the Brush Creek watershed have been significantly <br />altered for municipal and irrigation purposes. This stream reach is one of the few lower elevation <br />locations in the watershed that still possesses a relatively natural flow regime. <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 in stream flow recommendation, please contact Roy Smith <br />at 303-239-3940. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />.L <br /> <br /> <br />..::::- ~- <br /> <br />~- <br /> <br />James E.
