Periodically throughout the runoff season, the plan would be modified as required to reflect runoff conditions. The Bureau would operate the reservoir consistent with prior water rights and with water rights obtained for the unit and would make irrigation releases of unit water in accordance with requests received from the Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District, The Bureau would also operate the reservoir to accomplish the flood control objectives of the Annual Operating Plan. Whenever the reservoir water surface would be in the allocated flood control space, the reservoir would be operated for flood control purposes as directed by the Corps of Engineers. Irrigation water would be released from the reservoir through the river outlet works and the Fort Morgan Canal outlet works, Releases to the South Platte River and the Fort Morgan Canal would be measured immediately below the outlet works.
