This ditch company is revised to show the water delivery history since the report of 1970, and to reflect the Class C stock issued to replace the former Fruita Canal and Land Company shares. This report should replace the same pages in the water book on Water District 42 Revisions. Also included is a revised index page to reflect the changes. We have not received the ACCO fasteners with the 7% inch hole spacing for the small sized engineering reports as yet, but will send you some when and if we get them.

"' THE FEDERAL LAND BANK OF WICHITA Date: July 28, 197 5 MEMO TO: Manager, Association ifo564 - Grand Junction FROM: Engineer Appraiser SUBJECT: WATER DISTRICT 42 REVISIONS Attached is a report book containing a tabulation of all decrees and revisions of ditch systems made to date in former Water District 42 - now Water Districts 42, 72, 73 & 74. This revision covers all systems diverting from the Colorado River, and the pages are numbered and indexed through the Colorado River tab. Any revision of ditch systems diverting from the Gunnison River, Kannah Creek or Plateau Creek are filed alphabetically behind the tab for each drainage area.

It is submitted herewith for approval. ,J-i$-7(.) {date) November 1, 1961 MEMORANDUM TO: Appraisers and Managers in W.D. 42, Mesa County, Colorado FROM Dexter G. Henderson, Engineer Appraiser SUBJECT Tabulation of Decrees granted in W.D. 42, Mesa County, Colorado Attached·is an alphabetical tabulation of all water decrees granted in Colorado Water District 42, Mesa County, Colorado, including all domestic and conditional decrees. This list is intended as a supplement to the General Report on the area made on November 15, 1937. No attempt has been made to classify each water right at this time. The General Adjudication of July 25, 1941, renumbered all decrees granted prior to this date giving consecutive numbers to all decrees on a District basis - replacing the stream-numbering system formerly used. The renumbered order is used herein with the former stream number added in parenthesis. This decree also awarded a 'blanket' decree under Priority No. 610 as supplemental water to some 87 ditches for a total of 170 cfs with a priority date of November 1, 1939. The General Adjudication of July 21, 1959, is unusual in that it assigned both an appropriation date and a decree date in each case. The decree covers priority numbers 609 to 951. Priority numbers 738 to 951 were given the same date for appropriation and decree dates. This tabulation should be of some assistance in determining water rights where the applicant offers an interest in a ditch, but does not know the priorities held by the ditch. Enclosure 1 ENGINEERING REPORT FORMER WATER DISTRICT 42 NOW WATER DISTRICTS 42, 72, 73 & 74 MESA COUN1Y, COLORADO The area covered by this report includes all of former Water District 42 located entirely within Mesa County, Colorado. The area was divi­ ded into Water Districts 42, 72, 73 & 74 for purposes of administration in 1971. The areas included in each new district are shown on the following map of Water Divisions and Water Districts in Colorado. Water District 72 now covers the area drained by the Colorado River from DeBeque to the Colorado-Utah state line, and Plateau Creek which drains the eastern or upper end of the district consisting of the north slope of Grand Mesa and the south slope of Battlement Mesa. Water District 42 now includes the Gunnison River from the point where it enters the county line 22 miles southeast of Grand Junction, and the Kannah Creek drainage area which heads on Grand Mesa and enters the Gunnison River from the east. New Water District 73 covers the drainage area of the Dolores River within the county, while the new Water District 74 covers the small drainage area of Coates Creek along the Colorado-Utah line.

    MOOSE MANAGEMENT PLAN DATA ANALYSIS UNIT M-5 Grand Mesa and Crystal River Valley Photo courtesy of Phil & Carol Nesius Prepared by Stephanie Duckett Colorado Division of Wildlife 711 Independent Ave. Grand Junction, CO 81505 M-5 DATA ANALYSIS UNIT PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GMUs: 41, 42, 43, 411, 421, 52, and 521 (Grand Mesa and Crystal River Valley) Land Ownership: 35% private; 65% public Post-hunt population: Previous objective: NA 2008 estimate: 125 Recommended: pending Composition Objective: Previous objective: NA 2008 estimate: 60 bulls: 100 cows Recommended: pending Background: The M-5 moose herd was established with translocated Shiras moose from Utah and Colorado in 2005 – 2007. The herd has exhibited strong reproduction and has pioneered into suitable habitat in the DAU. At this time, it is anticipated that there are approximately 125 moose in the DAU. The herd already provides significant watchable wildlife opportunities throughout the Grand Mesa and Crystal River Valley areas and it is anticipated that it will provide hunting opportunities in the near future. Significant Issues: Several significant issues were identified during the DAU planning process in M-5. The majority of people who provided input indicated strong interest in both hunting and watchable wildlife opportunities. There was less, but still significant, concern about both competition with livestock for forage and the possibility of habitat degradation, primarily in willow and riparian zones. The majority of stakeholders favored increasing the population significantly while staying below carrying capacity. There was strong support for providing a balance of opportunity and trophy antlered hunting in this DAU, and most respondents indicated a desire for quality animals.
