The Bureau of ReclanBtion, or its designated operating agency, <br />shall report by telephooe to the Reservoir Regulation Section, Sacramento <br />District, COI1ls of Engineers, each vork day between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. <br />during flood -perio:ls, and at ather tilles upon request, data as follovs: <br /> <br />(1) The amount of flood control space required in Paonia Reservoir <br />based on current forecasts of inflow. <br /> <br />(2) Elevation, storage, inflow, outflow, and anticipated outfiow <br />changes at the reservoir. <br /> <br />(3) Precipitation at the dam and at pertinent reporting stations in <br />or adjacent to the drainage basin. <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />b. 1amJediately after the end of each month, the Bureau of ReclBDBtion, <br />or its designated operating agency, shall dispatch to the Reservoir Regu- <br />lation Section, Sacnunento District, Corps of Engineers, a SUlllllBry of the <br />following data: <br /> <br />(1) ~ily inflow," outflow, elevation, and storage at Paonia Reservoir. <br /> <br /> <br />(2) ~ily requirement of flood control space based on forecasts of <br /> <br />inflow. <br /> <br />(3) Inflow forecast amounts used for flood control operation. <br /> <br />26. COORDINATION WITH OI'HER AGENCmS <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />In order to assure that the flood control operation of Paonia Reservoir <br />vill be as effective and reasonable as possible, it is essential that the <br />operating agency keep advised at all times of possible flood hazards, <br />weather, and snowpack conditions, inflow to the reservoir, and flow in <br />downstream tributaries. This requires close liaison vith other agencies, <br />including the National Weather Service, Soil Conservation Service, Geo- <br />logical Survey, and the Corps of Engineers. <br /> <br />27. FORECASTS OF INFLCY <br /> <br />The primary parameter for flood control operation of Paonia ~ and Reser- <br />voir is forecast of snO\/Dlelt inflow. All such inflow forecasts are prepared <br />by the Bureau of Reclamation, Salt Lake City, utah for undepleted flov. <br />'!'he methcxl employed for developnent of the forecast equation is multiple <br />regression fitting of the accumulated seasonal precipitation vater content <br />, , <br />of the snowpack, and antecedent precipitation conditions. In the Muddy <br />Creek Basin very limited basic data are available for indexing these vari- <br />ables. As B. result, the snowpack is indexed by only one official snuv <br /> <br />19 <br />
