<br />~ <br /> <br />inflow average was 8,200 cfs. The reservoir reached a peak <br />elevation on June 25, when it was recorded at 6069.2 feet. <br /> <br />Special reservoir releases have been made this runoff season to <br />accommodate endangered fish studies being conducted on the San <br />Juan River. Reservoir releases peaked at 5,000 cfs for the first <br />10 days of June, since June 10 they have slowly been cut back. <br />The last of these release will occur on July 15, when the <br />reservoir outflow will be reduced from 1,300 cfs to 600 cfs. <br />This base flow of 600 cfs will continue through the rest of July <br />and August and into September. <br /> <br />Anyone needing further information about the daily operations of <br />Navajo Reservoir please contact Don Fazzan or Rege Leach in the <br />Durango Office at (970) 385-6500. <br /> <br />GLEN CANYON - Inflows to Lake Powell in June were about 168 <br />percent of normal. Streamflows are rapidly receding throughout <br />the basin. The National Weather Service preliminary forecast for <br />the April - July unregulated runoff into Lake Powell was dropped <br />to 11.5 MAF, 148 percent of normal, a drop of 0.2 MAF from the <br />June mid-month forecast. <br /> <br />Glen Canyon Dam releases have been reduced to 21,000 cfs <br />beginning July 3 and will likely continue thus through the <br />summer. Lake Powell inflows are currently at about 30,000 cfs and <br />we expect the lake to rise to within 4 feet of full within the <br />next 2 weeks. <br /> <br />The Colorado River Management Work Group meetings to discuss the <br />1998 Annual Operating Plan for the entire Colorado River will <br />conclude w' ultation meeting scheduled for 9:30 am to <br />11:00 am, July 29, 7, at McCarren Airport in Las Vegas, NV. <br />Final lang or the 1998 AOP will be discussed. After the <br />meeting, we are tentatively scheduling a technical work group <br />meeting to continue the modeling of surplus and shortage options <br />for future reservoir operations.
