<br />recommendation was further reduced to 0.7 cfs for the time period of September 1st through <br />January 31 st based on limited water availability. <br /> <br />Existing Water Right Information <br /> <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer Office <br />(DEO) to identify any potential water availability problems. There are two decreed surface <br />diversions within this reach of stream (Bradbury and Helmke Ditches). According to the DEO, <br />downstream senior diversions should pull enough water through the proposed reach to satisfy the <br />recommended instream flow amount most of the time. Based on this analysis staff has <br />determined that water is available for appropriation on North East Creek, between the first <br />unnamed tributary downstream of King Reservoir and the confluence with East Creek, to <br />preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the <br />exercise of valid existing water rights. <br /> <br />CWCB Staffs Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br /> <br />Seament: unnamed tributary to East Creek <br /> <br />Upper Terminus: first unnamed tributary downstream of King Reservoir <br />(Latitude 380 52' 58"N) (Longitude 108040' 19"W) <br />UTM = 4306 140N 12701944 E <br />SW NW S34 Tl3S RIOI W 6PM <br />1300' East of West Section Line 1990' South of North Section Line <br /> <br />Lower Terminus: confluence with East Creek <br />(Latitude 380 55' 06"N) (Longitude 108029' 55"W) <br />UTM = 43 10 49IN 12716 874E <br />SW SE S18 Tl3S R99W 6PM <br />2600' West of East Section Line 780' North of South Section Line <br /> <br />Watershed: Lower Gunnison (HUC#: 14020005) <br />Counties: Mesa County <br />Length: 11.5 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Glade Park, Snyder Flats, Jacks Canyon, Island Mesa, Whitewater <br />Flow Recommendation: 5.0 cfs (April I st - June 30th) <br />1.0 cfs (July 1 st - August 31 st) <br />0.7 cfs (September 1st - January 31 st) <br />1.0 cfs (February 1st - March 30th) <br /> <br />- 5 - <br />
