The <br />winter flow recommendation of 1.25 cfs is available at least 50% of the time from November I <br />through March 31. <br />Precipitation Data <br />Staff reviewed local precipitation data sets from two sites located around the Escalante Creek <br />Drainage (see Precipitation Data in Appendix C). Table 3 shows the water year and the percent <br />of average precipitation recorded at each site. It is staff s opinion that the 14 years of stream- <br />flow data analyzed is representative of average water-years. <br />Table 3: Precipitation Data as a percental!e of A veral!e <br /> Elevation = 5120 Elevation = 5830 <br /> Lat 38 45 00 Lat 38 29 00 <br /> Long 1080400 Long 10753 00 <br /> Year DELTA MONTROSE NO 2 <br /> 1976 Not Available 75% <br /> 1977 88% 78% <br /> 1978 Not Available 98% <br /> 1979 Not Available 89% <br /> 1980 111% 96% <br /> 1981 90% 95% <br /> 1982 103% 86% <br /> - 5 - <br />
