W. Miller <br />Ruth Pope <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />Cooperation with Colorado Department of Natural Resourcea, Fish and <br />Wildlife Service, Forest Service and private entities developed the <br />operating criteria for fish and wildlife enhancement n~ incorporated <br />in' the Project operation plan. The Operating Principles are the <br />culmination of this effort. Cooperation with the seversl interests <br />is an on-going activity. <br /> <br />Should the need for increaaing the minimum flows'in the streams be <br />determined in the future, the criteria in the Operating Principles <br />can be modified to respond to the changes. There is contained within <br />the Operating Principles the procedures whereby this can be <br />accomplished. <br /> <br />The present operation of the collection system is in agreement with <br />paragraph 9 of the Operating Principles. No diversions are being <br />made or will be made which will reduce the remaining aggregate streamflows <br />to leas than either of the following minimum standards: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />" (i) The Fryingpan collection system at the points <br />of diversion collectively, exclusive of Lime Creek: <br />15 ft3/s October 1 through March 31; 30 ft3/R <br />April 1 through September 30. <br />(ii) Near Norrie (immediately below the junction of <br />North Fork and Fryingpan River); 30 ft3/s October 1 <br />through March 31: 100 ft3/s April 1 through April 3D: <br />150 ft3/s May 1 through May 31: 200 ft3/s June 1 <br />throu~h June 30; 100 ft3/s July 1 through July 31; <br />75 ft /s Auguat 1 through August 31; 65 ft3/s <br />September 1 through September 30. <br />In maintaining the above minimum standards, the <br />project diveraion shall be regulated, so far as is <br />practicable, in such a manner that the North Fork of <br />the Fryingpan River, the Fryingpan River, and each of <br />the tributaries of those streams, shall contribute to <br />the residual streamflows required by those minimum <br />standards quantities of water in proportion to their <br />natural contributions. . ."
