The active. storage was <br />3,474,000 acre-feet. Water released caused the <br />reservoir level to recede 19 feet during the fall and <br />winter to elevation 6,014 feet. The April-July 1977 <br />runoff above Flaming Gorge was 233,000 acre- <br />feet, or 21 percent of the long-time average. With <br />this low runoff, the water level continually receded <br />to elevation 5,991 feet with an active storage of <br />2,080.000 acre-feet by the end of September. <br /> <br /> <br />I <br />i <br />r- <br />~ <br />Chart 2 <br /> <br />STATISTICS <br />ACTIVE STORAGE' <br />RESERVOtJI .ACR~' ElEVATION <br />FEET) IfEen <br />MAXIMUM STORAGE 3.749,000 6040 <br />RATED HEAD 1,062.000 5946 <br />MINIMUM POWER 233000 5871 <br />SURFACE AREA (fULLl 42:020ACRES <br />RESERVOIR LENGTH iFULl\ 9' MILES <br /> <br />POWER PLANT <br />NUMBER OF UNITS <br />TOTAL CAPACITY <br /> <br />, <br />10a,OOO KILOWATTS <br /> <br />"da"s not inclurM 40,000 iIC" f~t of dead Horagr <br />below 5740 ffJl!)f <br /> <br />OUTFLOW <br /> <br />. <br />, <br />2 <br />1 <br />o 0 <br />z <br />8 · <br />w <br />~ <br />>: <br />w <br />w <br />. <br />" <br />;; <br />~ <br />U <br />~ 4 <br />3 <br />~ 2 <br />~ <br />~ 1 <br />" <br />w 0 <br />" <br /> <br />UPPER aUARTILE <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />, <br />2 <br /> <br />o <br /> <br /> ~. ~:~'~t ~~. --~~ <br />" ~ " " > u ~ a' ~ ~ " <br />Z " :i z ~ z .. <br />< < ~ u 0 ~ ~ ~ ~ . ~ ~ w <br />~ ~ 0 Z 0 . . ~ > ~ ~ <br /> I WilarYur 117' I <br /> <br />6~Z~~~~ <br />z 0 ~ u.. ::i: <:! ::!: <br />WltIeTV,.'tlJ <br /> <br />I 9 <br />
