It is staffs <br />opinion that the 14 years of stream-flow data analyzed is representative of slightly above average <br />water-years. <br />Existing Water Right Information <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer Office to <br />identify any potential water availability problems. There are no decreed surface diversions within <br />this reach of stream. Based on this analysis staff has determined that water is available for <br />appropriation on Keyser Creek, from the Outlet of Blue Lake to East Canyon Creek, to preserve <br />the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of <br />valid existing water rights. <br />CWCB Staffs Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br />SeQment: Outlet Blue Lake to East Canyon Creek <br />Upper Terminus: Outlet Blue Lake at <br />(Latitude 390 40' 28") (Longitude 1070 21' 52") <br />Lower Terminus: East Canyon Creek at <br />(Latitude 390 38' II") (Longitude 107024' 21") <br />Counties: Garfield <br />Length: 3.8 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Carbonate, Adams Lake <br />Flow Recommendation: 2.40 cfs (May 1" - July 31 ") <br /> 1.30 cfs (August I sl _ October 31 Sl~ <br /> 1.00 cfs (November 1 sl - April 301 ) <br /> Keyser_ Creek_lSF _RPT_ vl.doc <br /> - 5 - <br />
