In preliminary contract, p. 5, a 300 cfs minimum instream flow is mentioned. <br />National Park Service has reserved right. The National Park Service should not settle for 300 <br />minimum - should be increased to maintain ecosystem. Better minimum in the summer would be <br />400 - 500, this would help mitigate canyon flash floods/sediment problems. <br /> <br />l3b. 4. 13.
