Hydrology. Proposed lOP: Flows below Morelos <br />magnitude of excess flows to Mexico. Dam are dependent solely upon infrequent flood <br /> control releases. The overall impact of the lOP <br /> would be to decrease both the probability of a flood <br /> release and the magnitude of a flood release. <br /> Combined, the IA and lOP reduce probability of a <br /> flood by 110 35 percent in some of the years <br /> modeled. When there is a flood release. the <br /> combined IA and lOP could cause a reduction in the <br /> magnitude of excess flows to Mexico by as much as <br /> 615 KAF, assuming maximum overrun dccount <br /> balances were held at the time of a flood release. <br /> More likely, average account balances would be <br /> held at the time of a flood release, which could <br /> result in a decrease in excess flows to Mexico of 24 <br /> KAF. <br /> No Forgiveness Ahemative: Impacts would be as <br /> described for the proposed action. <br /> TRANSBOUNDARVIMPACTS <br />Potential impacts to habltdt and species in See Biological Re-sources above.
