2.2,3,2 mlnll1UTl During bypass a drought year, the water of 200 cfs C5.6m3/s) or supply studies assuned a whichever was less. water surface would the flow In the river, In the first 18 years of operation, the reservoir drop a maximum of 17-feet C5 m). The majority of the time the reservoir would be operated with the run of the river and remain full. During the spring and surmer the spillway and out let works would operate with the outlet works somewhat throttled to try and maintain a 1000 cfs C28m3/s) flow over the spillway, During the winter when ice flow Is a problem, the outlet works would be regulated to pass the ent I re flow In the river to prevent Ice from moving downstream and reduce the flood potential, Under nonnal spring flows the reservoir could Hll In 2 to 3 days If needed. A combination of discharge through the out 1 ot works and sp Illway coul d be used to control algal growth. Because the reservoir will be full the majority of the time, recreational benefits will be maximized. 2.2.3,3 The actual yield from the reservoir under Alternative A would be 10,200 AF C12.6x106m3), the water right for 13,800 AF C17x106m3) less 2100 AF C2,6x106m3) of recreatlon/dead pool and 1500 AF C1,9x106m3) of evaporation. The annual evaporation has been used In the hydraulic analysIs, but has not been Included In the water budget because the actual evaporation during administration of the reservoir water right would be extremely difficult to quantify, Evaporation losses would be subtracted from water sales. The town of Rangely has expressed a desire to store enough water to serve 10,000 people at a consumptive rate of 155 gallons per person per day C587 L/person) or 1735 AF C2.2x106m3) per year. With this assumption the water budget of the reservoir for the year 1990 and 2014 would be as follows: 14
