The comments note that SCC has not provided information regarding the adjudication of <br />water rights or a plan to augment or replace water on a permanent basis, and recommends that SCC either <br />obtain a State Engineer's approved water supply plan or court approved augmentation plan, or install a <br />device for stream flows to bypass the dam structure or outflow device at the base of the dam structure to <br />release inflows when a call is placed on the system. These comments are similar to those items <br />mentioned in Item 6c of our February 18, 2009 adequacy letter. Please submit the requested information <br />to us, and we will forward it to the Division of Water Resources for their review. Should you have <br />questions or need additional information, please contact me at 303-866-3567, extension 8111, or at <br />susan. buramaierCaD-state.co. us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan L.
