USBR, W AP A, and the Center <br />cooperated to provide the necessary funds. <br />· Evaluation of issues for implementing BHBF greater than 45,000 cfs -- An Ad Hoc <br />committee was formed within the TWG that is chaired by Clayton Palmer. <br />Clayton is drafting a discussion paper on this matter. Basically W AP A wants <br />load following capability in exchange for the higher release. The release still <br />needs to stay within the 8.23 maf annual release and the terms of the Grand <br />Canyon Protection Act. <br />· Establishment of a Science Advisory Board -- Tom Moody chairs the Ad Hoc <br />committee of the TWG established to implement this.

The goal is keep the <br />management objectives within the framework of the preferred alternative <br />identified in the EIS. <br />· Installation of flash boards at Glen Canyon Dam _. Bruce Moore is the lead. See <br />Jencsok memo dated February 19, 1998 for latest information. <br />· ESAlNEP A Compliance -- This is a VSBR\USFWS issue. Nothing new to report. <br />· Studies regarding the design, testing and installation of Glen Canyon Dam <br />Temperature Control Devices -- Dave Truman is the lead on this issue.
