The South Clear Creek hydrograph was synthetically derived utilizing the methods
outlined in the USGS Water Resources Investigations Report 85-4086. Based on DOW's
biological recommendation, the winter instream flow recommendation was reduced to 0.5 cfs.

SUMMARY

*

The DOW has documented that a natural environment is present in the form of
a brook trout fishery.

*

The DOW has recommended that a flow of 1 cfs in the summer and a flow of 0.5
cfs in the winter are necessary to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable
degree.

*

The CWCB staff has conducted a water availability analysis and determined these.
amounts are available for the Board's appropriation.

*

The CWCB staff has determined that adequate water supplies exist such that the
natural environment may be preserved without limiting or foreclosing the exercise
of valid existing water rights.
