In order to avoid exceeding the safe carrying capacity of North <br />Fork Gunnison River at Somerset, releases from Paon1a Reservoir must be <br />planned with allowance for ather flows entering the river downstream, <br />principally from Anthracite Creek. Until such time as measured f'lows <br />from Anthracite Creek are available as an index to total local inf'low, <br />it is estinBted that the total ungaged inflow bet1n!en Paonia I:Bm and <br />North Fork Gunnison River at Somerset will generally approxinBte 170% <br />of Muddy Creek ini'lows to Paonia Reservoir. <br /> <br />20. FLOOD CONTROL OPERATION <br /> <br />a. Frequent forecasting of innows to Paon1a Reservoir is necesS!U;l: <br />during the snO\lllelt season in order to anticipate noed events that might <br />reqUire noed control reservoir opemt1on. <br /> <br />'b. When the forecasts indicate continuous increase in reservoir <br />inflows and, therefore, a need for excessive storage, the most efficient <br />opemtion requires that both outlet gates should be kept vide-open in <br />order to minimize the eventually higher outflows over the spill\/llY that <br />could result in higher flood flows along North Fork Gunnison River (for <br />reasons explained in paragraph 18). <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />16 <br />
