<br />0012v9 <br /> <br />~ <br />, <br /> <br />results indicate that. indeed. a significant amount of pollution <br /> <br />does result from this type of development. The required estimates <br /> <br />can be prepared by making salinity measurements above and below a <br /> <br />similar development such as Vail throughout the spring and summer <br /> <br />so as to reflect both snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff. Specific <br /> <br />conductance values are acceptable measures of salinity when <br /> <br />accompanied with adequate calibration data. We feel that the <br /> <br />absence of this information makes it even more imperative that <br /> <br />these data be collected and evaluated before the area is classified <br /> <br />as a winter sports site or before permits are issued to the developers. <br /> <br />The other matter of concern to the Water Conservation <br /> <br />Board is the preservation of minimum flows on any streams that may <br /> <br />be utilized by developers. Recommendations for minimum flows on <br /> <br />Beaver Creek have been prepared by the Division of Wildlife and <br /> <br />presented to the Water Conservation Board. We expect that the <br /> <br />Board will approve the recommendations and that filings will be <br /> <br />made under S. B. 97 at the Board's meeting in Feburary 1975. Again. <br /> <br />we recommend that the U. S. Forest Service obtain agreements with <br /> <br />the developers not to deplete any streams below the minimum flows <br /> <br />determined in cooperation with the Division of Wildlife. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
