We're glad to see the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service has submitted an objection to the MAWC water right
based on their concerns that the review analysis has been inadequate
and impacts to their wells at the Creston National Fish Hatchery
could be significant. They conducted their own modeling analysis with
the alarming results showing that their wells could drop as much as
20' compared to DNRC's “worst case scenario” that wells in the
vicinity of the hatchery would drop up to 4.5' over the next 5 years.
We hope the USFWS objection will be taken under serious consideration
and prompt a more thorough investigation of the potential impacts of
the water right before a decision is made to grant it.
