As <br />with Powell, at the 75th percentile there is a slight decrease after 2017 from <br />extending the ISG. <br />4.4 Absolute Protect 1000 Sensitivity <br />The Step Shortage strategies that have been examined do not include the absolute <br />protection of 1000 ft at Mead. Under the Step Shortage strategies, the maximum <br />shortage ever taken is 600 KAF and Mead can drop below 1000 ft. An analysis <br />was performed to determine the effects of adding a second level shortage <br />(Absolute Protect 1000) to a Step Shortage strategy. Of specific interest was the <br />maximum shortage that would be required to protect 1000 ft at Mead and how <br />often a shortage of that magnitude would occur. The analysis was performed by <br />comparing the Hybrid revl and Step Shortage rev-2 strategy with the same <br />combination but with the addition of the Absolute Protect 1000 strategy. All other <br />parameters were unchanged. <br />26 <br />
