Fryingpan River
South Fork
Chapman Gulch
Sawyer Lake Creek
Lily P ad Creek
Ivanhoe Creek
Middle Cunningham Creek
North Cunningham Creek
South Cunningham Creek
Mormon Creek
Hunter Creek
Midway Creek
No Name Creek
Carter Creek
North Fork Creek
Granite Creek

In addition to the minimum bypass requirements at each of these sites,
a minimum flow requirement must be met on the Fryingpan River at
Thomasville river gaging station as specified in the Operating
Principles. This minimum requirement is as follows: April - 100 cubic
feet per second, May - 150 cubic feet per second, June - 200 cubic feet
per second, July - 100 cubic feet per second, August - 75 cubic feet per
second, and September - 70 cubic feet per second or the natural flow,
whichever is less.

When it appears that these flows will not be met, the diversions into
the Project system are decreased or stopped, whichever is necessary to
meet the bypass requirements. The Hunter Creek System, which drains
into the Roaring Fork River, can continue diverting water into Boustead
Tunnel during these times.

Exhibit 4 shows the daily flows at the Thomasville River gaging
station and the average daily minimum flow requirements during the
period of diversions from the Fryingpan River.
