<br />o ~,1899 <br /> <br />copy <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />It is estimated that the runoff above the Area 1 system will be <br /> <br />equal in amount to the discharge measured at the gaging station. <br /> <br /> <br />There is also a gaging station on Homestake Creek near Redcliff, <br /> <br />about three miles abo~e the point where that stream enters the Eagle <br /> <br /> <br />River. Records of runoff at this gage are available since May, 1944. <br /> <br /> <br />It is possible to extend the record at Gold Park to include the water <br /> <br /> <br />years 1945-1947 by correlation with flows at the Redcliff gage. <br /> <br /> <br />Runoff of Homestake Creek at Gold Park for the 9 years as recorded <br /> <br />.. . ,~ <br /> <br />and estimated is shown in the following table: <br /> Runoff <br /> Annual Runoff May through July <br /> Water Year (Acre Feet) (Acre Feet) <br /> 1945 - - - - 42,600* 34,300* <br /> 1946 - - - - 39,300* 29,600* <br /> 1947 - - - - 56,500* 49,000* <br /> 1948 - - - - 48,350 41,270 <br /> 1949 - - - - 52;300 46,040 <br /> 1950 - - - - 40,530 33,670 <br /> 1951 - - - - 55,880 49,930 <br />.. <br /> 1952 - - - - 53,550 45,540 <br /> 1953 44,220 39,370 <br /> Average 48,140 40,970 <br /> *Estimated by correlation <br /> Runoff for the May through July period is shown, since it has <br /> <br />been the experience on existing transmountain diversion collection <br /> <br />systems that ditches at high elevations can not generally be cleaned <br /> <br /> <br />out to permit operation before the month of May. Studies also <br /> <br /> <br />indicate that as a result of the Colorado-Big Thompson project <br />
