In Table 2.04.745, some of the data may be in error. For the stream flow data, some of the <br />dates are consistent with data on the USGS web site, but some are not. For example, the web <br />site indicates peak flow data from 1904 to 2009 for site 9251000 (Yampa River near Maybell), <br />but the table in the application has different dates. Another example is site 9250700 (Morgan <br />Gulch) as the wrong year is listed in the table; it should be 1980 not 1981. Please check this <br />data and correct as necessary. <br />The data is available on the USGS site. The number for the site is "09250700" rather than <br />"9250700" as originally stated in the Division's letter. Also, this site can be accessed by name, <br />"Morgan Gulch near Axial, Colorado," rather than by number. Please check this data again and <br />correct as necessary. <br />Corrections have bun mode to Table 2,04.7 -45. This item has b�wn adcquatcly addressed. <br />2. Spring V25 is described as being in Collom Gulch but is shown in Little Collom Gulch. Please <br />review and correct as necessary. <br />
