<br />8 <br /> <br />3. Recommendation to the Secretary for the GCMRC to develop and initiate water year . <br />1998 monitoring and research programs for Lake Powell. <br /> <br />4. Objectives and information needs for all programs are to be reviewed in water year 1998 <br />for implementation in water year 2000. <br /> <br />5. Recommendation to the Secretary to initiate an approximate 31,000 cfs test flow in <br />October/November of water year 1998 to conserve sediment resources. <br /> <br />6. Recommendation to the Secretary to evaluate the effects of an approximate 45,000 cfs <br />beachlhabitat-buildingflow between January and June 1998 to mitigate the potentially <br />negative effects of sustained high steady releases on the biological, physical, and cultural <br />resources and nverain processes. <br /> <br />7. Selection of a TWG to work closely with the GCMRC in developing objectives, <br />information needs, arid monit~ring and research programs. . <br /> <br />Th~'TWG, established as a subgroup of the AMWG, completed the following activities in <br />water year 1997: <br /> <br />1. Initiated development of protocols and processes to evaluate and implement adaptive <br />management flow regimes as recommended by the AMWG. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. Reviewed and evaluated the GCMRC's Water Year 1999 Annual Monitoring and <br />Research Plan. <br /> <br />3. Reviewed and evaluated the GCMRC's water year 1997 report entitled, State of Natural <br />and Cultural Resources in the Colorado River Ecosystem. <br /> <br />4. Reviewed and evaluated the GCMRC's information on the effects of an approximate <br />45,000 cfs beach/habitat-building flow between January and June 1998. <br /> <br />Adaptive Management Program Activities - Water Year 1998 <br /> <br />The AMWGrrwG activities include a broad cross-section of programs as follows: <br /> <br />1. Continue development of protocols/procedures for operation of the AMWGrrwG. <br /> <br />2. Review of the AMP budget process and budget allocations for short- and long-term <br />programs. <br /> <br />. <br />-. ./ <br />
