Title	Effects of Flaming Gorge Dam Hydropower Operations on Flow and Stage in the Green River, Utah and Colorado
Description	Report by S.C.L. Yin, J.J. McCoy, S.C. Palmer, and H.E. Cho which is one of a series of technical memorandums prepared to support an environmental impact statement for the U.S. Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration on power marketing by the Salt Lake City Area Integrated Projects.
Abstract	This report presents the development of Flaming Gorge Reservoir release patterns and resulting downstream flows and stages for four potential hydropower operational scenarios. The release patterns were developed for three representative hydrologic years: moderate, dry, and wet. Computer models were used to estimate flows and stages in the Green River resulting from these release patterns for the moderate water year. The four hydropower operational scenarios for Flaming Gorge Dam were year-round high fluctuating flows, seasonally adjusted high fluctuating flows, seasonally adjusted moderate fluctuating flows, and seasonally adjusted steady flows. The year-round high fluctuating flow scenario assumes that the monthly total reservoir releases would be the same as historical releases. The remaining seasonally adjusted flow scenarios would comply with the 1992 Biological Opinion of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which requires high flows in the spring and limited hourly fluctuations, especially in summer and autumn releases, to protect endangered fish. Within one year, the maximum daily river stage fluctuations resulting from hydropower operations under the seasonally adjusted high fluctuating flow scenario would be similar to the maximum daily fluctuations under the year-round high fluctuating flow scenario. However, reduced or non fluctuations would occur in some time periods under the former scenario. The maximum daily river stage fluctuations under the seasonally adjusted moderated fluctuating flow scenario would be about half of those under the seasonally adjusted high fluctuating flow scenario.
