SURFACE WATER SUPPLY <br />Stream flow records for the Dry Fork Minnesota Creek are sketchy. As part <br />of the permitting process for the Mt. Gunnison Mine, ARCO COAL COMPANY <br />installed stream monitoring equipment in June of 1977. Due to the time of <br />year the equipment was installed, the record is incomplete for 1977. <br />Based on data collected during the years of 1978, 1979 and 1980 it has been <br />determined that the mean annual runoff of Dry Fork Minnesota Creek is 1,100 <br />acre-feet. <br />Diversion records from the past ten years are tabulated below. <br /> <br />Year Acre Feet Diverted <br />1973 500 <br />1974 440 <br />1975 234* <br />1976 420 <br />1977 79 <br />1978 499 <br />1979 495 <br />1980 546 <br />1981 388 <br />1982 483 <br />*May be erroneous ~• <br />IV-4 <br />
