<br />1998, The final draft will be submitted to the Biology Committee before the end of the <br />calendar year, <br /> <br />VII, Recommendations: We recommend the development of a water management plan for the <br />Yarnpa River. We recommend this water management plan use 93 cfs as a target for the <br />minimwn instream flow, However, we also recommend that the flow management plan <br />not be restricted to achieving 93 cfs in 100% of the years, but include examining the <br />frequency, magnitude, and duration of flow events under 93 cfs observed during the <br />period of record (19 16- 1998), This report was directed to detennine the baseflow needs <br />of fishes, and does not prioritize the needs of high spring flows as spawning cues and <br />channel fonning forces versus the baseflow needs of fishes during the summer months, <br />Crucial to the next phase of a water management plan will be to evaluate and prioritize <br />the temporal distribution of flow, The flow management plan needs to provide a suite of <br />operational strategies on how a "carve out" and other water rights could be administered <br />to satisfY both the high-flow needs of endangered fishes and the baseflow <br />recommendation provided in this report, <br /> <br />VIlI,Project Status: The project report is seven months late, <br /> <br />IX. FY 98 Budget <br /> <br />A, Funds Provided and Expended: $19,000 was provided to and expended by both <br />CRFP and CDOW (for a total of$38,000). $12,000 was provided for the Yarnpa <br />expert panel. Of this amount, $5,000 has been spent on travel; and we anticipate <br />that panel members will bill soon bill for their services for the remaining $7,000, <br />B, Difference: $7,000 remains to be expended on this project. <br />C, Percent of the FY 98 work completed, and projected costs to complete: 90%, <br />$7,000, <br />D, Recovery Program funds spent for publication charges: 0 <br /> <br />X, Status of Data Submission (Where applicable): N/A <br /> <br />XI. <br /> <br />Signed Tim Modde <br /> <br />Date 12/3/98 <br />
