Chips Barry -2- January 9, 1980 <br /> use which would be correct for irrigated pasture grass , <br /> however, no mention is made of any area currently being <br /> irrigated by a water right. If the 82 acres that will be <br /> occupied by the new lake was historically irrigated, then <br /> the consumptive use amount of 132 acre-feet annually can <br /> be reduced from the lake evaporation losses of 191 acre-feet <br /> only if the water right that was used historically for irrigat- <br /> ing the land is left in the stream for augmentation purposes. <br /> 3 . The report does not evaluate the effect of the additional eva- <br /> poration losses from the lake or water rights along the <br /> critically over-appropriated Boulder Creek and South Platte <br /> River Basins. <br /> 4. The applicant should provide an augmentation plan that <br /> replaces these evaporation losses and prevents alteration <br /> of the prevailing hydrologic balance of Boulder Creek and the <br /> South Platte River. /�I <br /> �G Q . <br /> Hal D.
