The proposed flow regime for the lower Structures at the Smelter Boating Park. <br />This suggested flow regime was created based on a variety of variables. Some of the <br />variables considered in this analysis include: <br />■ Available flows: The flows selected were chosen such that ample flow could be <br />available for other users and such that ample flow would be provided for the <br />intended purpose listed in Table 1. <br />■ Dimensions: The flows selected were, in part, dependent on the aspect ratio of the <br />existing streambed and its ability to confine the river into a concentrated channel <br />without creating a flood risk and without negatively impacting the river and its <br />habitat. <br />■ Usage: The flows selected were chosen such that, subject to the dimensional <br />requirements listed above, the park could provide for the minimum recreational <br />experience necessary to provide for the applicant's intended usage. This included <br />sufficient flows to provide for a marquis event at peak flows, sufficient flow to <br />37 <br />0 <br />25 -Oct 14 -Dec 2 -Feb 24 -Mar 13 -May 2 -Jul 21 -Aug 10 -Oct 29 -Nov 18 -Jan 9 -Mar <br />-40th Percentile flow —A-- Recommended St. 10,11 --*— Recommended St. 12 <br />
