<br />l ~l j1 '). .,,~ <br />_.! I \;__ ~ '.,.\ <br /> <br />the Aspinall Unit required under tbe Endangered Species Act is satisfied as part of <br />the overall effort. <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board believes that the protections afforded <br />to tbe 28.9 mile reach under the State's instream flow program and state water law <br />are significant. The conversion of the 300 cfs donated right from The Nature <br />Conservancy to instream flow will be sufficient to protect the needs of the "Gold <br />Medal Trout Fishery" in the reach as well as the recreational, scenic and aesthetic <br />values. <br /> <br />The State expresses its appreciation for the efforts that have gone into putting <br />this bill together. The passage of the Black Canyon Conservation Act of 1990 will <br />provide significant benefits to Colorado. I thank the committee for the opportunity <br />to provide this testimony on this important matter for Colorado. <br /> <br />bj476,memo <br /> <br />4 <br />
