Minimize bank erosion <br />and sediment movement <br />2. Minimize O&M costs <br />3. Regulate lake levels <br /> <br />1. Achieve greatest <br />seasonal power value <br /> <br />2. Achieve greatest hourly <br />power value <br /> <br />3. Avoid power plant <br />bypass flows <br /> <br />-35- <br /> <br />DESIRABLE MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />Comply with flood control <br />regulations, maintain an <br />effective floodway, and <br />minimize higher level flood <br />control releases <br /> <br />Maintain assurance for <br />reservoir system storage <br />recovery to that which <br />would have occurred under <br />a minimum flood control <br />requirement operation <br /> <br />Plan releases of excess <br />water so that higher flood <br />control releases and widely <br />fluctuating flows can be <br />minimized <br /> <br />1. Schedule excess water <br />releases during months <br />of greatest power' value <br />JUly-September and <br />December-February <br /> <br />2. Retain capability for <br />daily on-peak/off peak <br />operations-minimize <br />block loading of power <br />plants through scheduled <br />release of excess water <br /> <br />3. Lessen the opportunities <br />for flood control <br />releases in excess of <br />power plant flow capaci- <br />.ties <br />
