In other words, required flow rates <br />are determined using depth (h) and width (b) values which are not explained or justified. <br /> <br />Legal Basis <br /> <br />SB 216: <br />SB 216: <br /> <br /><>\ <br />Supreme Court Decision: <br /> <br />Section 2, 37-92-103, (4) Beneficial Use <br />Section 2, 37-92-103,(10.3), Recreational In-channel Diversion <br />Means... <br />Minimum Flow Rate <br /> <br />Opinion #4. <br /> <br />Adverse impacts to the river and regulatory floodplain have not been reasonably <br />evaluated. Therefore, it has not been demonstrated that this is an appropriate reach. <br /> <br />Basis of Opinion <br />Inappropriate roughness coefficients, expansion coefficients, and loss coefficients were used in <br />the hydraulic model provided by REP. In addition, information or analysis relating to impacts to <br />the floodplain resulting from deposition (see below) have not been provided. These impacts <br />have been observed and documented on other courses in which REP was involved. ~ <br /> <br />Opinion #5. <br /> <br />It is likely that the structure~mpact the bedload transport capabilities of this reach of <br />the river and that subsequent change (increases) in the river bed will occur. This is likely <br />to result in corresponding increases in the regulatory floodplain and changes of the <br />structures' performance. Therefore, it has not been demonstrated that the intended <br />recreational experience will be created at the minimum amount of stream flow necessary. <br /> <br />Basis of Opinion <br /> <br />Deposition of bed material and elevation of the river bed is likely to occur upstream of the in- <br />channel structures due to lower velocities and related riverbed shear stre~s. Since these <br />structures concentrate the elevation drop and dissipate energy in the river at specific locations, <br />the adjacent reaches have less energy to transport the bed material that travels down the river. <br />These impacts have been observed and documented on other courses in which REP .w~ <br />involve~ i.8_l!{h~umentation of a bedload or sediment analysis or model~ <br />provided. ~ <br /> <br />Legal Basis <br /> <br />Policy Manual: <br />Policy Manual: <br />SB 216: <br />SB 216: <br /> <br />Adverse Impacts and Durability <br />Hydraulic Engineering Definition of Control <br />Appropriate Reach of the Stream Required for the Intended Use. <br />(10.3) Capture and Control <br />
