-2- <br /> for evaluating the recommended operating plan for 1985 and future years. • <br /> The objective of these studies is strictly to provide output for use in <br /> operational decisions; the studies will not address economic and environmen- , <br /> tal impacts or specific flood plain issues. <br /> 1.3 General Description of Work <br /> The work falls into six major areas: <br /> - Preparing the hydrology, depletion, and system characteristics data. <br /> - Developing a method of characterizing each strategy in terms of target <br /> storage objectives and the probability of achieving each objective. <br /> - Defining feasible alternative operation strategies. <br /> - Using a detailed river basin model, the Colorado River Simulation System <br /> (CRSS), to simulate each strategy and estimate the impacts to the system. <br /> - Quantifying each strategy in terms of water supply, flood control, and <br /> power generation at various levels of probability of inflow. A com- <br /> parison to the current operation strategy will also be made for each <br /> alternative strategy. <br /> - Reporting the results of the study. <br /> 1.4 Product <br /> The product of these studies will be a report which contains a thorough <br /> description of the alternative strategies evaluated, the methods and data <br /> used to evaluate them, and the results of comparative analysis. A draft <br /> report will be available for public review by November 1, 1984, with a final <br /> report to be completed by February 1, 1985. <br /> 1 .5 Organization of Work Effort <br /> A technical team composed of staff from the Upper and Lower Colorado <br /> Regional Offices and the Engineering and Research Center will be organized <br /> to perform the work. The team will be managed by CRSS Steering Committee, <br /> which includes the Assistant Commissioner for Planning and Operations, an <br /> Assistant Regional Director from each of the two regions, and Chiefs of the <br /> Division of Planning Technical Services, Division of Water and Land <br /> Technical Services, and the Colorado River Water Quality Office in the <br /> E&R Center. <br /> 111 <br />
