<br />n. Operation during snowmelt period (April-June) <br />A. Release inflow as required when out of priority to supply downstream <br />senior rights. <br />B. Replace CBT Project out of priority depletions, as required. <br />C. Make required augmentation releases for West Slope water users <br />depletions per Green Mountain Operating Policy and Orchard Mesa <br />Check case Settlement. <br />D. Reduce releases from traditional levels before and after the peak flow <br />enhancement for the Coordinated Reservoir Operations effort. During <br />peak flow enhancement, release the lesser of inflows or turbine capacity <br />(approx. 1500 ft3/s) for approximately a seven to ten day period. <br />E. Make required releases for contract water depletions. <br />F. Fill without spilling. <br />G. Maximize power operation consistent with I.e. <br /> <br />ill. Operation during the irrigation season (July-October) <br />A. Release inflow as required when out of priority to supply downstream <br />senior rights. <br />B. Replace CBT Project out of priority depletions, as required. <br />C. Make required augmentation releases for West Slope water users <br />depletions per Green Mountain Operating Policy and Orchard Mesa <br />Check case Settlement. <br />D. On or before June 30, each year, begin assessing availability and delivery <br />of surplus water in the Historic Users Pool (HUP), on a regular basis, in <br />consultation with the Managing Entities established under the settlement <br />of the Orchard Mesa Check Case. <br />E. If a surplus condition is declared in the HUP, make releases, under <br />agreement, to the Grand Valley Power Plant to the lesser of the amount <br />of the surplus or the capacity of the Grand Valley Power plant canal <br />system or the amount needed to generate power at the Grand Valley <br />Power Plant. <br />F. Release surplus amounts to other needs downstream. <br />G. Maximize power operation consistent with I.e. <br /> <br />1 The presentation of these general criteria for current operation does not imply any definition of <br />rights and obligations.
