It is staffs opinion that the 14 years of stream-flow data analyzed is representative of <br />slightly above average water-years. <br />Existing Water Right Information <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 existing decreed surface <br />diversions within this reach of stream. Based on this analysis staff has determined that water is <br />available for appropriation on Big Beaver Creek, between Allen Creek and East Beaver Creek, to <br />preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree without limiting or foreclosing the <br />exercise of valid existing water rights. <br />CWCB Staffs Instream Flow Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board form its intent to appropriate on the following stream reach: <br />Seament: Allen Creek to East Beaver Creek <br />Upper Terminus: Confluence Allen Creek at <br />(Latitude 40004' 38") (Longitude 107036' 31") <br />Lower Terminus: East Beaver Creek at <br />(Latitude 40002' 06") (Longitude 107038' 38") <br />Counties: Rio Blanco <br />Length: 3.1 miles <br />USGS Quad(s): Sawmill Mountain, Fawn Creek <br />Flow Recommendation: 2.9 cfs (April 1 st - July 14th) <br /> 1.0 cfs (July 15th - March 31 st) <br /> Big Beaver_Creek_ISF _RPT_vl.doc <br /> - 5 - <br />
