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 8 cfs. All of the stream diversions within this <br />reach of stream are junior in priority to senior diversions totaling 17.89 cfs, which are located <br />downstream of Wilson Creek (see Senior 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 tlows return <br />to the stream. Based on this analysis staff has determined that water should be available for <br />appropriation on Fourmile Creek. between Felch and Wilson Creeks, to preserve the natural <br />environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the exercise of valid existing <br />water rights. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />.... <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />1- <br /> <br />r <br />\' <br />~ <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />CWCS Staff's Instream Flow Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following steam reach: <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Stream: Fourmile Creek <br />Water Division: 2 <br />Watershed: Fourmile Creek <br />Counties: Fremont <br />Upper Terminus: Felch Creek at (Latitude 380 32' 35") (Longitude 1050 13' 13") <br />Lower Terminus: Wilson Creek at (Latitude 380 30' II") (Longitude 1050 12' 30") <br />Counties: Fremont <br />Length: 3,3 Miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Cooper Mountain <br />Flow Recommendation: 9.50 cfs (April 15'h - October 14th) <br />5.00 efs (October 15th - April 14th) <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />Iii <br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />L <br />J <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Fourmile_felch_ wi Ison_ISF _RPT <br />Last printed 01/07/00 2:43 PM <br />
