Scenarios. <br /> <br />3.4.2 Milhous Flow Recommendations <br /> <br />In this section, the frequency with which the six flow scenarios would achieve the <br />Millious (1998) flow recommendations Wasevaluated. As Jor the preceding analysis, predicted <br />flows at the Grand JlDlction gage were used in the evaluation. <br /> <br />3.4.2.1 Wash Load <br /> <br />To maintain O.5-mm particles in suspension, Millious (1998) recommended a minimum <br />flow of 954 cfs. For all six scenarios, flow would exceed the threshold value for wash load <br />suspension in each of the years during the period of record, and, in most years, flow would <br />exceed this threshold on most days of the year (mean number of day sly ear: 326, 324, 326, 326, <br />325, 326 for gage, Reclamation, and Western, A, B, C, and D scenarios, respectively).
