TNC Donation <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board accepted the donation of a 300 cfs <br />conditional water right from The Nature Conservancy at its January 22,1992 <br />meeting. The water right when changed will protect flows from just below <br />the Gunnison Tunnel to the North Fork confluence. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />A water right change application (92CWI07) was prepared and filed in Division <br />4 Water Court on August 11, 1992. Nine statements of opposition were filed. The <br />Division Engineers consultation with the Referee found the change as applied for <br />presented problems from the standpoint of water right administration. We have <br />discussed the issues with the Division Engineer and are in the process of <br />developing solutions. <br /> <br />C. <br /> <br />Passage of State Senate Bill 94-54 limiting the Board's ability to accept <br /> <br />conditional water rights resulted in all serious opposition, except for that by <br /> <br />Arapahoe County, being withdrawn. Judge Brown held hearings on the States <br /> <br />56(h) motions and ruled favorably on those on October 11, 1994, except he found <br /> <br />the earliest appropriation date possible was July 1,1973.
