Pathfinder Reservoir will gradually gain in storage during the October-through-June period reaching a maximum storage of 778,000 acre-feet by the end of June. With a maximum water supply forecast, releases through Fremont Canyon Powerplant will be near capacity during August. The need for additional releases through the river outlet works to meet downstream storage targets and surplus release requirements is not anticipated. The reservoir will reach a yearend storage content of about 621,000 acre-feet which will be 178 percent of normal. ., .; .: :<:.'-. ~~>':i:.:_~;i .....-..

The reservoir will be refilled to the normal summer operating content of about 179,000 acre-feet (elevation 5498) during April. Generation at the Alcova Powerplant will be about 89 gigawatt- hours which is 27 gigawatt-hours less than under the most probable water supply conditions.

About 500 ft3/s will be maintained during the Harch-June period; thereafter, releases will average between 1,300 and 1,600 ft3/s. Glendo Glendo Reservoir will fill to near capacity at 515,000 acre-feet by the end of June. With a reasonable maximum water supply, the Glendo Unit storage ownership will accrue about 22,000 acre-feet during the season. North Platte storage water o\mership will fill during June. Combined North Platte System storage will increase by about 700,000 acre-Let during the water year. Guernsey About 59,000 acre-feet of water which is excess to the North Platte River Storage System's ownership will be spilled, if the reasonable maximum runoff develops in the pattern that was assumed. A suggested schedule for releasing this water is outlined on page 30 under the heading "North Platte River Area."
