<br />00297~ <br /> <br />-:::;".::'.:'J <br />-'. ..;~' , <br /> <br />The Operation Plan After Fe.bruary 1 <br />If Most P!,(Jb"ble Inflow Were Forecast <br /> <br />Green Mountain <br /> <br />Green Mount,dn Reservoir releases lor replacement, power production, ancl <br />1'i\'er and reservoir regulation would reduce storage to the desirable minimum <br />of :'.0,000 aCl'E'-feet by April 30. Thereafter, releases would be adjusted as <br />required tofiH the !'eservoir (154, GOO acre-feet) by July 31. Releases for down- <br />stream requiremenlsdu1'ing AuguMandSeptember would leave normal carryover <br />storage at the end of the water year. Anticipated diversion of 40,000 acre-feet <br />from the Blue River by Denver and Colorado Springs would cause 8.4 gigawatt <br />hOllrs of power interference to Green Mountain Powerplant. <br /> <br />Willow Creek <br /> <br />;i;~) <br /> <br />Willow Creek Reservoir would provide a constant release of 7 c. f. s. through <br />April 30 to enhance fishery flows in the Colorado River. Thereafter, most <br />probable runoff would allow pumping all water in excess of downstream require- <br />ments to Lake Granby. A totaf of 43,000 acre-feet would be pumped to Lake <br />Granby during the water year. . <br /> <br />East Slope - CBTProject <br /> <br />Supplemental water deliveries of 206, 000 acre-feet would be made to the Colorado- <br />Big Thompson project during the February-September period. With above normal <br />carryover storage in east slope reservoirs, transmountain diversions through <br />Adams Tunnel would average about 450 c. f. s. during February, March, and the <br />remainder of April after Pole Hill Powerplant maintenance. Thereafter, with <br />Carter Lake and Horsetooth Reservoirs filled to eapacity by May 31, Adams <br />Tunnel diversions would be limited to about 250 e. f. s. for the remainder of the <br />year. Available Big Thompson River water totaling 39,000 aere-feet would be <br />diverted to the Foothills Power System at Lake Estes. About 8,000 acre-feet <br />of available Big Thompson River water would be bypassed at Lake Estes during <br />June because of Adams Tunnel cliversions required to prevent spill of Lake Granby. <br />Available Big Thompson River water would also be bypassed at Tunnel No.1 <br />during June and July when the irrigation deliveries and Big ThOlupsonRiver water <br />diverted at Lake Estes exceed Big Thompson Powerplant capacity. <br /> <br />26 <br /> <br />}:.:~~:.-::" <br />~i:<:)~~, <br /> <br />, ','-' <br />.'- -.,' <br /> <br />"""-. <br /> <br />.,' ..~ .. <br />'~t:~..} <br />. ~.t~~ri <br />I <br />~<>?.t- <br />~:.:...",: <br /> <br />'.~ '::<:.. <br />"..,..",'- <br />.... .... <br />......-:::. <br /> <br />:~. : -;.. <br /> <br />'.~.'
