Reference No.5 above .(make releases meet as many needs as possible): can timing <br />be considered - timing is crucial - agencies (should) work together on releases. <br /> <br />9. 1. 18. Take into account dry years, upstream calls. Tie needs to forecasted amount of <br />available water each year. <br /> <br />1. 46. <br />use? <br />.2.1. !O. <br />river? <br />2.1. 26. <br /> <br />9. 2.1. 45. In years of severe drought, will (water rights) administration be strict or involve <br />sharing of shortages? (i.e., fish should share, so should hydropower) <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />3. 03. <br />harmful. <br /> <br />High water at wrong time can hurt resources (fish); 3,000 cfs this month was <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />3. 03. <br />harmful. <br /> <br />High water at wrong time can hurt resources (fish); 3,000 cfs this month was <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />04. <br /> <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife will furnish flow data to support fishery. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />3, II. Did this year's 3,000 cfs test consider "92" low snowpack? Would snowpack be <br />considered in contract to determine releases. <br /> <br />9. 3. 29. lhis year's 3,000 cfs release came in middle of brown trout emergence; release.is <br />beller in late May. Issue is timing of flushing flows, size of peak, and duration. Division of Wildlife <br />(DOW) ramping recommendations should be implemented. <br /> <br />9. 4. 03. For 1992 flushing flows, why did dates change (from late May to mid-May.release)? <br />How is timing planned? Isn't it supposed to be a coopcrative effort, considering hydropower, swim-up <br />trout, etc. concerns? <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />4. 05. <br />flush. <br /> <br />Definc "window of opportunity" to protect both rainbowlbrown reproduction during. <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />4. <br />much? <br /> <br />06. Do we know ideal ramping rate? Was 800 cfs (per day increase rate) in 1992 too <br />Ramping (rates needed) on ascending and descending release limbs. . <br /> <br />9. 4. IS. Reserved right: Consider right for hath Monument (1933) and its wilderness area <br />(1976). Since Blue Mesa right is 1957, how will this affect water deliveries? Contract should better <br />define reserved rights seniority and purposes. <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />GREENO+; p9,'2. (Issue H. A-B Lateral, cont.2) The second cause for concern lies in the <br />potential for AB Lateral to contract for water from the Bureau of Reclamation out the 300,000 acre- <br />foot Aspinall Unit water supply, and thus reduce the total amount of water available to the Monument <br /> <br />26 <br />
