Administration of Elkhead Creek <br />Reservoir Releases <br />• After the completion of the enlargement of Elkhead Creek <br />Reservoir in 2006, this office conducted a survey of the structures <br />located from Elkhead Creek Reservoir to and through the entire <br />critical habitat reach to determine which ones were not in <br />compliance with CRS 37-84-112. <br />• The survey found that there were just over 90 structures failing to <br />comply with this statute. That is to say they were not equipped <br />with operable headgates and/or measuring devices. <br />• Because this office knew that releases were going to be made from <br />Elkhead Creek Reservoir to provide additional flows through the <br />critical habitat reach that would have to be protected, over 60 <br />orders were issued in 2007 to owners needing to come into <br />compliance. <br />
