If not, why not?: <br />Yes, CWCB 15 cfs year round instreamflow will meet USFS needs. However, USFS also <br />wants a flushing flow (70%-120% of Bankfull) for some specified period between May 15 <br />and July 15 each year to maintain the structure of native aquatic habitat and move <br />added sediment from gravel road that runs adjacent to the stream. Several snowslide <br />areas also contribute to the sediment problem. <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 />Existing development is compatible. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />(Le. can QP's be moved, CWCB instream flows acceptable, etc.) <br />Leave QP at point identified above. Use the CWCB 15 cfs year round instreamflow to <br />quantify USFS instreamflow baseflow claim. Have USFS define (general hydrographs) <br />what the flushing flow amount should be and the time during which they want it <br />protected. Make sure there is some upstream exchange potential to accommodate <br />existing wells and future water development that may occur on existing inholdings <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. <br /> <br />RANDYlC:\MSOFFICEIWINWORD\D2FSRWR.FOR <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />J.~. <br />
