TECHNICAL WORKGROUP

GROUP 1 STREAM SUMMARY
November 29, 1996

Camp Creek (USFS will drop all claims)

South Catamount' 16)
QP at sec 23 - 13S - 69W; at point just below the Glen Cove confluence III
Amount: A CWCB instream flow recommendation needs to be made and would likely be
deemed acceptable, In addition, USFS requests a high flow between May 1 and July 15
of at least 70% of bankfull and upto 120 % of bankfull to maintain habitat for Greenback
Cutthroat Trout if oresent. Group wanted more definition (limits) on the high flow
request and assurance that there would be some upstream exchange potential particularly
during runoff.

South Fork of French Creek
QP at sec 35 - 13S - 68W; at point just above the North Fork confluence 6J
Amount: A CWCB instream flow recommendation needs to be made and would likely be
deemed acceptable, In addition, USFS requests a high flow between May 1 and July 15
of at least 70% of bankfull and upto 120 % of bankfull to maintain habitat for Greenback,
Cutthroat Trout if present. Group wanted more definition (limits) on the high flow
request and assurance that there would be some upstream exchange potential particularly
during runoff.

Little Fountain Creek
QP at sec 33 - 15S - 67W; at point 100 feet above south section line (forest boundary) (q )
Amount: A CWCB instream flow recommendation needs to be made and would likely be W
deemed acceptable. In addition, USFS requests a high flow between May 1 and July 15
of at least 70% of bankfull and upto 120 % of bankfull to maintain habitat for Greenback
Cutthroat trout if present Group wanted more definition (limits) on the high flow
request and assurance that there would be some upstream exchange potential particularly
during runoff.

West Fork West Beaver Creek
QP at sec 14 - 14S - 69W; 100 feet above south section line (?l
Amount: A CWCB instream flow recommendation needs to be made and would likely be \j;
deemed acceptable, In addition, USFS requests a high flow between May 1 and July 15
of at least 70% of bankfull and upto 120 % of bankfull to maintain habitat for Greenback
Cutthroat Trout if present. Group wanted more definition (limits) on the high flow
request and assurance that there would be some upstream exchange potential particularly
during runoff. This watershed at the QP is very small (about 4 sq,mL), and USF8 has
indicated the QP may not be worth keeping if Greenbacks are not present.
