<br />Flaming Gorge Reservoir has been operated
<br />as part of the Colorado River Storage Project in
<br />accordance with governing compacts and laws to
<br />provide optimum power production, recreation
<br />opportunities, and fish and wildlife benefits,
<br />On September 30, 1971, Flaming Gorge was
<br />at elevation 6,019 feet with an active storage of
<br />2,931,000 acre-feer. Releases for power pro-
<br />duction caused the reservoir to recede 12 feet
<br />during the fall and winter to elevation 6,007
<br />feet. The April-July 1972 runoff above Flaming
<br />Gorge was 1,938,000 acre-feet, or 167 percent
<br />of the long-time average. With tltis runoff,
<br />Flaming Gorge reached an all-time high on
<br />July 28, 1972, of elevation 6,035 feet and an
<br />active storage of 3,540,000 acre-feet. The reser-
<br />voir was held near maximum through the recrea-
<br />tion season, (Chart 2)
