<br />" <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />for system recovery would be performed as in the case of the <br />other two operational periods. The process repeats itself <br />starting in June. <br /> <br />The desirable management objectives for each project <br />purpose guiding excess release decisions dur ing each of the <br />three operational periods discussed above are summarized in <br />Table 8. An example of how excess water III ight be <br />redistributed in comparison to a base case operation is shown <br />in Table 9. <br /> <br />3.4 Evaluation of the Annual Operating Plan <br /> <br />3.4.1 Quantification of Benefits and Risks- the <br />Evaluation Parameters. After quantifying excesS-Water and <br />redistributing a portion of it as appropriate and according <br />to the rationale described above, the resulting release <br />schedule constitutes the proposed AOP for the operating year. <br />Prior to adoption, the projected impacts of the plan must be <br />evaluated. Evaluation requites defining, to the extent <br />possible, the benefits and risks associated with the proposed <br />plan. The following evaluation parameters have been <br />identified for the various project purposes and should be <br />included in the analysis as appropriate: <br /> <br />project Purpose <br />Flood control <br /> <br />Water conservation <br /> <br />River regulation <br /> <br />Hydropower generation <br /> <br />Water qual! ty <br /> <br />Recreation, fish and <br />wildlife <br /> <br />Evaluation Parameter <br /> <br />probability of high magnitude <br />damaging flood control releases <br /> <br />Ability to "recover" to a Base Case <br />reservoir condition <br /> <br />O&M costs based on the probability of <br />various magnitudes of flood control <br />releases <br /> <br />Degree of fluctuation in flow <br /> <br />Energy generation and revenues based <br />on timing and magnitude of releases <br /> <br />probability of bypassing power plants <br /> <br />projected river salinity and <br />suspended and settleable solids <br /> <br />Degree of fluctuation in flow <br /> <br />Degree of fluctuation in flow <br /> <br />-34- <br />
