Releases from Blue Mesa Dam during the reservoir draw down and refill would be adjusted by <br />Reclamation to control Morrow Point Reservoir's elevation around 7.129 ft. and to reduce the <br />amount of exposed sediment picked up and transported downstream, Adjustments in releases <br />from Morrow Point Dam would also be made as needed to protect water quality downstream of <br />Crystal Reservoir. <br /> <br />. Morrow Point Reservoir may be closed to the public from September 41h [0 October I st as a <br />safety precaution and to protect resources. <br /> <br />. Trash and debris removed from the Morrow Point Power Plant inlet trash racks would be <br />disposed of oft.-site at a location approved by the National Park Service or at an existing <br />pennined landfill. depending on the material removed. <br /> <br />. Replacement power would be purchased as needed to offset power generation losses during the <br />trash rack cleaning project. <br /> <br />.If a power emergency occurred during the Trash Rack Cleaning Project. other facilities of the <br />CRSP (i,e, Flaming Gorge. Glen Canyon) would provide first response to the emergency. If <br />needed. Morrow Point releases would be made to address the power emergency as long as <br />releases kept the reservoir within the draw down criteria (I to 3 feet/day), Peaking of Blue Mesa <br />during the power emergency would likely result in additional suspended sediments and would be <br />used only as a last resort. <br /> <br />21 <br />
