inflow, whichever is less, nor should
flows average less than 300 cfs, or
inflows less 200 cfs. The licensee is
requesting that peak viewing times in
article 410 be changed to require
minimum flows over Twin Falls from 10
a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week, April 1
through August 31 and no minimum
flows the remainder of the year. No
change in flow rates is requested.
