<br />Flaming Gorge Reservoir has been operated
<br />as part of the Colorado River Storage Project in
<br />accordance with governing compacts and laws to
<br />provide optimum power production, recreational
<br />opportunities, and fish and wildlife benefits.
<br />
<br />On September 30, 1973, Flaming Gorge was
<br />at elevation 6,026 feet with an active storage of
<br />3,180,000 acre-feet. Releases for power production
<br />caused the reservoir to re.cede 9 feet during the
<br />fall and winter to elevJtion 6,017 feet. The
<br />April-July] 974 runoff above Flaming Gorge was
<br />\ ,430,000 acre-feet, or \23 percent of the
<br />long-time average. With this runoff. Flaming Gorge
<br />filled for the first time on August I, 1974, at
<br />elevation 6,040 feet with an active storage of
<br />3,750,000 acre-feet. The reservoir was held near
<br />the season"' maximum through the recreation
<br />season. (Chart 2)
<br />
<br />Reservoir releases were higher than normal
<br />during August and September 1974. This was a
<br />result of coordinated operation with other
<br />reservoirs so we could red uce Glen Canyon releases
<br />to meet the operation criteria.
