<br />Flaming Gorge Reservoir <br />[Green River] <br /> <br /> <br />Transformer under construction. <br /> <br />Water Year 1882 <br />At the beginning of water year 1982, the <br />resorvolr water surface elevation was 6018 <br />reet with a content or 2,913,700 acre-feet, <br />Prior to the spring runoff I the reservoir <br />elevation was drawn down to 6010 feet. The <br />April through July 1982 runoff above Flaming <br />Gorge was 1,458,000 acre--feet, 126 percent of <br />the long.term average. With this runoff, the <br />resel\lolr reached Its seasonal maximum <br />elevation of 6036 feet with a content of <br />3,590,600 acre-feet by' mid-August. This <br />approximate elevation was maintaIned <br />through the end of the water year, and by <br />September 30, 1982, the elevation wes 6038 <br />feet with a content of 3,572,300 acre-feet. <br /> <br />"The normal minimum release a1 F\am\ng <br />Gorge Reservoir Is 800 cts. The maximum <br />release through the powerplant Is 4,600 cfe at <br />rated head. DurIng the water year, a total of <br />1,257,000 acre-feet was re'eased through the <br />powerplant. <br /> <br />Wate, Ve.. 198~ <br />During water year 1983, the reservoir level at <br />Flaming Gorge Is projected to be drawn from <br />6036 reet to about 6024 feet before the spring <br />011983, Thil...a\", \.._..1...11\ ,..main high <br />enough under any Inflow conditions to launch <br />boats from the reservoir's nine ramps. <br />Average Inflow would result In 8 maximum <br />elevation of 8035 feet with a storage of <br />3,548,000 acre.reet during July, <br /> <br />Due to high carryover storage and scheduled <br />work on the spillway, releases from Flaming <br />Gorge will be higher than average In water <br />year 1983.
