<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />;)oa~ , <br /> <br />Functional Specification for the Planning Model <br /> <br />Bostwick Park Project <br /> <br />The features of the Bostwick Park Project to be represented in the Planning Model are <br />Silver Jack Reservoir and the Cimarron Canal. The entire storage capacity and the hydraulic <br />capacities of the spillway and service outlet of Silver Jack Reservoir will be represented in the <br />model as will the hydraulic capacity of the Cimarron Canal. <br /> <br />Silver Jack ReServoir will be assumed to make releases for the following purposes: 1) <br />deliveries to project lands, 2) fishery enhancement below the Cimarron Canal headgate, and 3) <br />flood control space evacuation. Project deliveries will be made to meet unsatisfied demands in <br />the project area. Fishery releases will be made to meet target flow rates if those flows are not <br />already satisfied by bypasses or spills. Flood control releases will be made only when other <br />releases have not achieved desired user-supplied seasonal reservoir storage targets, <br /> <br />Silver Jack Reservoir will fill in-priority, subject to by-pass requirement on the <br />Cimarron River immediately below the Cimarron Canal headgate. All project demands are <br />assumed to be served via the Cimarron Canal, which has a physical capacity limitation of 145 <br />cfs. Project demands will be satisfied first by the direct-flow decrees in the Cimarron Canal <br />and second by releases from the reservoir, A single account will be used for all storage and <br />releases by Silver Jack Reservoir. Regardless of demands, Silver Jack Reservoir will be <br />evacuated to a user-specifiable level by the end of the irrigation season in order to prepare for <br />storage of the spring runoff during the following yeai:. <br /> <br />Dallas Creek Project <br /> <br />The feature of the Dallas Creek Project that will be represented in the model is Ridgway <br />Reservoir. The entire storage capacity of the. reservoir and the hydraulic capacities of the <br />service outlet and spillway will be represented, <br /> <br />Ridgway Reservoir will be assumed to make releases for the following purposes: 1) <br />project deliveries (M&I illli! irrigation), including deliveries from the M&I exchange account, <br />2) minimum releases, and 3) flood control space evacuation. Project deliveries will be made to <br />meet unsatisfied demands up to limits imposed by individual delivery contracts or conservation <br />pool allocations; these contract limits and pool allocations will be subject to user modification. <br /> <br />Flood control releases will be made only if other types of releases do not achieve desired <br />levels of storage in the reservoir and will be based on inflow forecasts for the months of <br />January through July and on storage targets in remaining months. These operating rules and <br />targets will be subject, within certain limitations, to user modification; Baseline values of rules <br />and targets will reflect historical operating patterns. <br /> <br />Paonia Project <br /> <br />The features of the Paonia Project that will be represented in the model are Paonia <br />Reservoir and the Fire Mountain Canal. The entire storage capacity of the reservoir will be <br />represented as well the hydraulic capacities of the service outlet, spillway, and canal. <br /> <br />Paonia Reservoir will be assumed to make releases for the following purposes: 1) project <br />deliveries, 2) Endangered Species, and 3) flood control. Project deliveries will be made to <br />meet unsatisfied project demands under the Fire Mountain Canal. Endangered Species releases <br />will be made to meet user-supplied target flow amounts. Flood control releases will be made <br />only if other types of releases do not achieve desired levels of storage in the reservoir and will <br />be based on Corps of Engineers flood control space requirements for the reservoir. Users will. <br />have the ability to modify these flood control space requirements. <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br /> <br />
