Monthly distribution of these <br />values was made in accordance with historical records. The imports <br />by the f-iomestake project were determined from factors other than <br />runoff. Fryingpan-Arkansas project imports for the three condi- <br />tions are derived from exhibit 2, discussed in more detail below. <br /> <br />Minimum Required Reservoir Releases <br /> <br />Ruedi Reservoir <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The fish bypass, not to exceed the stream inflow, is 39 c.f.s. for <br />the months ot Ilovember through April, and 110 c.t.s. for Hay <br />through October. At the request of State and Federal fish and <br />wildlife representatives, the fish bypass for the period September <br />1 through November 15 will be lOO c.f.s. to facilitate downstream <br />fishery and the brown trout hatch. At the request ot Colorado <br />River interests, August bypass will be at a minimum of 150 c.f.s. <br /> <br />Turquoise Lake <br /> <br />When the project r,oes into full operation, or when Pueblo Reservoir <br />is able to store any upstream releases, fish releases are to be <br />maintained at 10 c.f.s. for October and 3 c.f.s. for November <br />throur,h April, or natural inflow to the reservoir whichever is <br />lesser. lrrir,ation releases for presently irrigated lands on <br />Lake Fork Creek are estimated to be sufficient for fish flow <br />during the irrigation season. <br /> <br />During the interim period before Pueblo Reservoir is completed, <br />it may, on rare occasions, be necessary for short periods of time <br />to have no storage called out of the reservoir and the CF&I Steel <br />Corporation leeally ster inf, all of the natur'al inflO\;s.
