<br />7'" <br /> <br />September 29, 1994 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />or <br /> <br />Presentation of the preliminary recommendations in the Preliminary Biological Assessment suggests <br />that 200 cfs is the flow recommendation for September. <br /> <br />Robert indicated that the discussion of operating stu~ies in Chapter 3 of the preliminary draft <br />report relied too heavily on the previous report for description of model assumptions and that more <br />detail should be incorporated into the present report. After extended discussion of this issue, it was <br />agreed that the next draft would incorporate this detail and would relegate descriptions of certain <br />"special-purpose" model scenarios (such as those used to quantify the contemplated draft) to appendices <br />of the report. <br /> <br />The report structure discussion was initiated by Gene's comment that decision-makers need a <br />more concise, less detailed document. Chuck pointed out that an Executive Summary would be part of <br />the next draft. There ensued some additional discussions about whether the BA and/or EA documents <br />should be stand-alone or bound into the project report. It was decided that the BA would remain a <br />free-standing document and that the EA would remain the concluding chapter of the report. <br /> <br />Chuck asked for guidance on the treatment of project financing in the project report. After some <br />discussion it was decided that Hydrosphere would develop project cost estimates and a cash-flow <br />requirements schedule but would simply describe the range of potential financing sources/mechanisms <br />being pursued. <br /> <br />Report Completion Schedule <br /> <br />Several members of the TSG indicated a desire to review a second preliminary draft of the report <br />section describing reservoir operating studies.
