The resavoirq.."..:.l.. intends to IemOVe sediment1hathas aocumuIated <br />over a period otyears orsec1iinent1hal is in.the resecvoir' 3S'U1e result at a <br />significant infIow.of silt during that current year and the affected stream supports <br />a cold water fishery. <br /> <br />4. You visit a dam and it is releasing water from a reservoir outlet that is <br />cartying a significant sed"unent Joad into a stream that supports a cold water <br />fishery. J need to know if it is apparent or you become aware that the intent of <br />the reservoir owner is to flush'sediment out of sucl1 a reservoir. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5. Dam safety requires the total draining of a dam for safety reasons, <br />maintenance or the health and welfare of the public and there i$ the distinct <br />possibility lhat a heavier than normal sediment release will occur from the <br />reservoir. I want to know if sediment is not an issue but the dam owner <br />indicates to you the re$eNOir is stocked by the DOW. You need to ask the <br />reservoir owner if DOW stocks the la~ I am concerned not only when the lake <br />. will be totally dtaineddowri but also if we are ordering the reservoir to be <br />drained in to the conservation pool and the'reservoir is stocked by COW.
