Beginning April 1, the project license requires a continuous minimum base flow of 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) for 18 hours per day and a pulse flow release for 6 hours per day. During June, the base and pulse flows are ramped down in daily increments, to a continuous 2,000 cfs, which is required up to March 31. APC is requesting a variance to release from Jordan Dam no less than a continuous flow of 2,000 cfs (± 5 percent) from April 1 through December 31, 2008, unless further reduction in flows becomes necessary to address emergency operating conditions. Any reduction in flows would be achieved by ramping down flows by no more than 66.7 cfs per day. The licensee is also proposing to conduct weekly conference calls with the resource agencies to discuss project releases and operations to address drought related issues. l.
