Appendix D shows the decreed water rights <br />listed on the State Engineers Water Right Tabulation List within this reach of stream. The <br />surface diversions within this reach of stream total 145 cfs. Most of the stream diversions within <br />this reach of stream are junior in priority to senior diversions totaling 15 cfs, which are located <br />downstream of Wilson Creek (see Fourmile Creek Senior Water Rights in Appendix D). <br />However, there maybe times when the downstream senior water rights are not calling water <br />through this reach of stream, this may allow the upstream junior water rights to deplete some <br />parts of this stream reach. In addition, it maybe possible for upstream junior water rights to <br />divert water, depleting some parts of the stream reach before their irrigation return flows return <br />to the stream. Based on this analysis staff has determined that water should be available for <br />appropriation on Fourmile Creek, between Trail Gulch and Felch Creek, to preserve the natural <br />environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid existing <br />water rights. <br /> <br />CWCS Staff's Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br /> <br />Stream: Fourmile Creek <br />Water Division: 2 <br />Watershed: Fourmile Creek <br />Counties: Fremont <br />Upper Terminus: Trail Gulch at (Latitude 380 37' 34") (Longitude 1050 12' 58") <br />Lower Terminus: Felch Creek at (Latitude 380 32' 35") (Longitude 1050 13' 13") <br />Length: 6.9 Miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Cripple Creek South and Cooper Mountain <br />Flow Recommendation: 9.10 cfs (April 151h - October 14th) <br />4.75 cfs (October 15th - April 141h) <br /> <br />Founnile_trai_ wilsonl_ISF _RPT <br />Last printed 01/07/00 2:40 PM <br />
