If not, why not?: <br />Yes, CWCB lnstreamflows will meet USFS needs. However, USFS also wants aflushing <br />flow (70%-120% of Bankfull) for some specified period between June 1 and July 15 each <br />year to move the high sediment load that exists in the stream. The sediment load is do in <br />large part to sanding that occurs on Independence Pass prior to its closing for the winter <br />and after it is plowed open in the spring. <br /> <br />If water is developed from stream, what protections does the USFS know would have to <br />be provided? None identified <br /> <br />Is potential development compatible with USFS needs? If not, why not? <br />Future development is compatible so long as there is exchange potential upstream to <br />new development. Twin Lakes Tunnel generally deliveries water during May and June. <br />Twin Lakes Reservoir generally is filling during May, June and July. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />(Le. can QP's be moved, CWCB in stream flows acceptable, etc.) <br />Move the QP to just above Twin Lakes Tunnel so that only the natural flow of the basin <br />is reflected. Have CWCB and CDOW verify that the current instreamflow amounts are <br />valid at new QP. Have USFS define what the flushing flow amount should be and the <br />time during which they want it protected. Make sure that there is some upstream <br />exchange potential to accommodate any future water development, particularly during <br />runoff. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: List of attendees at the August 21, 1996 meeting and stream maps and lists <br />of water rights in area provided by the SEO.
