For the purpose of comparing <br />the Action and No Action alternatives in terms of impact to power production, the distributions of <br />annual bypass volumes are shown in Figure 14. The figure shows the percentage of occurrences <br />associated with the total volume bypassed each year. The model results indicate that the Action <br />alternative will likely have about a 1 in 2 chance of requiring a bypass (about 50% of the time) in <br />any given year while the No Action alternative will likely have about a 1 in 5 chance of requiring a <br />bypass (about 22% of the time) in any given year. These frequencies have not changed much <br />from those reported in the October report, however the magnitude (volume) of these bypasses has <br />diminished substantially. <br />Figure 14 Annual Bypass Volume Distribution
