It is staffs opinion that the seven years of stream-flow data analyzed is representative of <br />average to slightly above average water-years, <br /> <br />Existing Water Right Information <br /> <br />Staff has analyzed the water rights tabulation and consulted with the Division Engineer Office to <br />identify any potential water availability problems. There are no decreed surface diversions within <br />this reach of stream. Based on this analysis staff has determined that water is available for <br />appropriation on Lizard Head Creek, from its headwaters to the confluence with the San Miguel <br />- 5 - <br />
