Under most probable inflow conditions Flaming 150 <br />Gorge Dam will not fill until the summer of 1992. <br /> <br />The Green Ri"'r below Flaming Gorge Dam has been <br />determined to be habitat of Colorado SquawflSh. Restrictions <br />on releases from Flaming Gorge Reservoir have been <br />implemented to improve habitat conditions for young <br />Colorado SquawflSh. During water )'Oar 1991, these same <br />release restrictions will be maintained. The release <br />restrictions, as recommended by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife <br />Service, include the following guidelines. Total monthly <br />releases should be limited to no more than 100,000 acre-feel. <br />Maximum releases should be limited to 2,6(X) cubic feet per <br />second with the exception that up to 4,QOC) cubic feet per <br />second can be .released for up to two hours per day. The <br />minimum release should be 800 cubic feet per second. During <br />the months of July though October, releases from Flaming <br />Gorge should be patterned so that average daily flows at the <br />Jensen gaging station, located below the confluence of the <br />Green and Yampa Ri",rs, should be within 25 percent of a <br />1,700 cubic feet per second target value. <br /> <br />ACTUAL STORAGE 1990 <br /> <br />THOUSAND ACRE-FEET <br />"'000 <br /> <br />"'000 <br /> <br />3000 <br /> <br />3000 <br /> <br />2000 <br />o N D J <br /> <br />FMAMJJAS <br /> <br />'00 <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />PROJECTED UNREGULATED INFLOW 1991 <br /> <br />THOUSAND ACRE-FEET <br />500 <br /> <br />....
