Case Nos.: 73 and 308 Court: Archuleta County District Court B. Decreed point of diversion (include map):The originally decreed point of diversion is on the south bank of the Deer Creek branch of Rio Blanco at a point 1,910 ft east and 275 ft north of the northeast corner of Section 21, T34N, R1E, NMPM. The actual point of diversion was at a point approximately 1,950 ft east and 150 ft south of the northeast corner of said Section 21. Source: Deer Creek Appropriation Date: June 1, 1903. Amount: 2.0 cfs Historic use: The water right is decreed for irrigation of 65 acres of land and for stockwatering and domestic purposes. The attached map displays the lands historically and currently irrigated by the Buckmaster Irrigation Ditch. Proposed change: Applicant seeks approval of a change in point of diversion from a point on Deer Creek to a point on Deer Creek approximately 2,000 feet downstream from the originally decreed point of diversion. The Buckmaster Ditch historically diverted water from Deer Creek, and conveyed it to an unnamed tributary of the Rio Blanco which was then used to convey the Deer Creek water to the place of use. The original ditch was subject to landslides. To alleviate the problems caused by landslides, water was diverted under this water right at the Murray Ditch headgate on Deer Creek, located approximately 2,000 feet downstream from the original Buckmaster Ditch headgate. The water diverted under the water right was then conveyed to the unnamed tributary of Rio Blanco, which was used to convey the water to the historic place of use.

  • Monitoring Restoration Effectiveness on the Lower Rio Blanco River
    Monitoring Restoration Effectiveness on the Lower Rio Blanco River J.D. Kurz1 and D.L. Rosgen2 Overview The Rio Blanco River is located in Southwestern Colorado near Pagosa Springs, Colorado. The watershed encompasses a 170 square mile (mi2) area that ranges from 13,000 feet at the headwaters along the Continental Divide to 6,400 feet at the confluence with the San Juan River. Since 1971, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has operated a major trans-basin diversion called the San Juan/Chama Project. This diversion transmits approximately 70 percent of the historic annual water yield from the Rio Blanco to the Rio Grande Basin. The diversion not only removes a substantial volume of water from the channel throughout the year, but it also decreases the magnitude and duration, and alters the timing of the channel-maintaining flow (bankfull discharge). Since the dimension, pattern, and profile of rivers are directly related to the bankfull discharge, a natural decrease in the bankfull discharge should result in a series of adjustments creating a smaller channel, more appropriately sized for the altered flow regime. Unfortunately, the channel below the diversion has not adjusted to the altered flow regime mainly because the magnitude, duration, and timing are insufficient to reshape the channel material, which consists mainly of cobble and large gravel. Sediment supply from unregulated tributaries creates excess sediment deposition into the regulated main stem. The resulting wide and shallow channel has negatively impacted the channel stability, water quality, and aquatic habitat of the lower Rio Blanco. In November 1999, Wildland Hydrology completed a stream restoration demonstration project on 1.1 miles of river.

  • Rio Blanco Restoration: Adopted Rocks and Homemade Jelly Help Fund Demonstration Project
    W ETLANDS & WATERSHEDS UNIT Rio Blanco Restoration: Adopted Rocks and Homemade Jelly Help Fund Demonstration Project The Rio Blanco, a tributary to the San Juan River, origi- nates at the Continental Divide in Archuleta County, Colorado. Elevation ranges from more than 13,000 feet to around 6,400 feet at the confluence with the San Juan River. Land ownership is mixed: the headwaters lie within the Southern San Juan Wilderness area, and the confluence is on the Southern Ute Reservation. Private land is interspersed, but primarily in the lower 12 miles. The river runs about 30 miles from source to confluence. The watershed averages about 250 inches of snow in the winter and 13 inches of rain in the summer. In the 1950s Congress appropriated funding to construct the San Juan–Chama Diversion Tunnel. The tunnel would take wa- ter from the Rio Blanco, which is part of the Colorado River Basin, under the Divide into the Rio Grande Basin for use in New Mexico. The diversion is located about 12 miles from the confluence. The system began operation in 1971 and diverted approximately 70 percent of the in-stream flow of the Blanco. A basin summary prepared in 1990 by the U.S. Forest Service found that: • Fish habitat was poor. • Sediment loads were high because of flow changes and streambank erosion. • Sediment supply was greater than stream transport capacity. • Water temperatures were high. • Diversion and land use practices had created a wide, shallow stream with little pool and cover habitat. The Rio Blanco is classified as an Aquatic Life Cold Wa- ter Class 1, Recreation Class 1 stream.

  • Colorado's Rio Blanco, Section 319 Success Story
    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Restoring and Stabilizing Stream ChannelColorado Improves the Lower Rio Blanco Waterbody Improved The San Juan-Chama Diversion Project (opened in 1971) had led to reduced water flow and a loss of aquatic habitat in Colorado’s Rio Blanco, a tributary to the San Juan River. As a result, in 1998 Colorado included a 12-mile reach of the Lower Rio Blanco on the state’s Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters for failing to support its aquatic life designated use due to sediment. Project partners restored the stream channel to match the altered flow regime and educated landowners. These efforts restored the river’s physical and biological function and improved water quality, prompting Colorado to remove the Rio Blanco, including the 12-mile reach of the Lower Rio Blanco, from the state’s list of impaired waters in 2008. Problem The Rio Blanco originates in the San Juan Mountains. It flows for 30 miles through the San Juan National Forest and private lands to its confluence with the San Juan River in southwest- ern Colorado (Figure 1). The state classifies the Rio Blanco as an Aquatic Life Coldwater Class 1/ Recreation Class 1 waterway supporting water sup- ply and agricultural uses. In 1971 the San Juan-Chama Diversion Project opened, diverting 70 percent of the Rio Blanco’s his- torical flow to supply water for municipal, domestic, industrial and other uses. A basin summary prepared in 1990 by the U.S. Forest Service found that the diversion and land use practices (including livestock grazing, irrigated pasture, recreation and domestic activities associated with low-density urban develop- ment) had negatively affected the Rio Blanco, includ- Figure 1.
