<br />Flaming Gorge Reservoir has been operated
<br />as part of the Colorado River Storage Project
<br />in accordance with governing compacts and
<br />laws to provide optimum power production, re-
<br />creation opportunities, and fish and wildlife
<br />benefits.
<br />On September 30, 1972, Flaming Gorge was
<br />at elevation 6,033 feet with an active storage
<br />of 3,465,000 acre-feet. Releases for power
<br />production caused the reservoir to recede 17
<br />feet during the fall and winter to elevation
<br />6,016 feet. The April-July 1973 runoff above
<br />Flaming Gorge was 1,271,000 acre-feet, or
<br />109 percent of the long-time average. With
<br />this runoff, Flaming Gorge reached a season-
<br />al high elevation of 6,029 feet and an
<br />active storage of 3,323,000 acre-feet. The
<br />reservoir was held near the seasonal maximum
<br />through the recreation season. (Chart 2)
<br />Reservoir releases were higher than normal
<br />during the summer season. This was a result
<br />of coordinated operation with other reservoirs
<br />so we could reduce Glen Canyon releases to
<br />meet the operation criteria.
