<br />. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />All reservoir releases above 500 cfs and below 6,601 cfs will <br />pass through the turbines. <br /> <br />o Flows in excess of 6,600 cfs will pass over the spillway and/or <br />through the bypass outlet works, with the maximum normal <br />reservoir elevation maintained at 5,250 ft. <br /> <br />o For reservoir discharges below 500 cfs, no power production is <br />assumed and the flow wi 11 pass through the bypass outlet. The <br />bypass outlet provides emergency discharge for reservoir levels <br />below elevation 5,240 ft in case the turbines are inoperable. <br /> <br />o Minimum reservoir elevation is limited to 5,220 ft to provide <br />adequate submergence of the intake structures. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />F. ACTIVE STORAGE RELEASES <br />The active storage capacity shown in Figure III-l is designated to <br />meet downstream water demands from irrigation and industrial users. <br />Releases from the reservoir would occur only in a dry year to meet <br />these demands and when "storable flow is not sufficient to meet the <br />scheduled releases" below (see Figures II-I, 11-2, and 11-3). <br /> <br />WWE developed the release schedule (Table III-I) based on the <br />following criteria: <br /> <br />o There wi 11 be no expected demand for stored water during the <br />spring runoff period (April through June). <br /> <br />o Maximum water demand (downstream user demand) will occur during <br />the late summer and fall, when natural river flows are low. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3686-a/7 <br /> <br />I II-8 <br />
