When operating in a "peaking <br />power" mode, dam releases increase <br />during periods of high demand, <br />(morning and evening) . . . . . . . 39 <br /> <br />Figure VI-1a. The releases for 1986, a <br />high-water year, were used in the <br />study to represent current <br />operations.

Large areas of beach, which are <br />exposed at low flows (5,000 cfs <br />- top photo), are submerged at <br />flood flows (40,000 cfs - bottom <br />photo) ........... . 51 <br /> <br />Figure VI-4. Riverbanks, covered with sand <br />and vegetation (top photo), were <br />significantly eroded and stripped <br />of vegetation following the 1983 <br />flood releases (bottom photo) . 52 <br /> <br />Figure VI-5. Flood releases have adverse <br />impacts (-) primarily on <br />terrestrial resources and <br />recreation. They have no <br />significant impact (0) on trout <br />and common native fish, and <br />appear to benefit (+) humpback <br />chub . . . . . . . . . .. .. 53 <br />
