Historically, the volumes of flow contributed by tributaries to the Green River in <br />Reach One have been relatively insignificant except during large thunderstorm events. Reach One <br />flows that appear in this report are actually the average daily releases made from Flaming Gorge <br />Dam. Figure 11 shows the distribution of peak flows having a duration of one day that occurred in <br />the model results. It is also assumed that peak flows always occur during the spring period. Thus <br />the distributions that appear in Figure 1 I can also be used to represent the distribution of annual <br />peaks as well. For reference to how the reservoir was operated prior to the 1992 Biological <br />Opinion, the distribution of historic peak flows in Reach One having a duration of one day for the <br />period from 1971 to 1991 are included in the figure. Figures 12 and 13 show the distributions of <br />peak flows in Reach One having durations of two and four weeks, respectively. <br />Figure 115% Distribution of Peak (One Day Duration) Releases
