Common use of FLOW OBJECTIVES Clause in Contracts

FLOW OBJECTIVES. x. Xxxxxxxx Flow Objective Except with respect to limitations provided herein in Section 5, releases from the City Delaware Basin Reservoirs shall be in quantities designed to maintain, during Normal storage conditions, a minimum basic rate of flow at the gaging station of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at Montague, N. J. of 1,750 cubic feet per second (cfs), as directed by the River Master in accordance with Section VII. of the Decree. During Basinwide Drought Watch, Drought Warning, and Drought Emergency, in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement and Section 2.5.3.B. and Tables 1 and 2 of the Delaware River Basin Water Code (Water Code), the Montague flow objective shall vary based upon the time of year and location of the salt front, and minimum compensating releases shall be made by the City of New York from its reservoirs in the upper Delaware Basin. The Decree Parties, with the guidance of the Operations Support Tool described herein in Section 6, shall seek to maximize the frequency of the minimum basic rate of 1,750 cfs flows at the USGS gaging station at Montague, N.J. without adversely impacting basin water supplies and other objectives of the FFMP. b. Trenton Equivalent Flow Objective Section 2.5.3 of the Water Code establishes a set of equivalent flow objectives at Trenton, N.J. to control salinity intrusion in the Delaware Estuary. One means for salinity management is through releases from Beltzville and Blue Xxxxx Reservoirs. Blue Xxxxx Reservoir is located on the Schuylkill River and is downstream of the USGS gaging station at Trenton, N. J. Releases from Blue Xxxxx Reservoir, as well as bypass flows from Yardley and the Point Pleasant Pumping station, are considered to be as effective at repelling salinity as water entering the estuary from the main stem Delaware River at Trenton. The Trenton Equivalent Flow is computed as the sum of flows at the USGS Trenton gaging station, releases in excess of conservation releases from Blue Xxxxx Reservoir, and 70 cfs to account for bypass flows via Yardley and the Point Pleasant Pumping Station. This value is compared to the Trenton Equivalent Flow Objective to determine if the flow objective was satisfied. During Basinwide Drought Watch, Drought Warning, and Drought Emergency, in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement and Section 2.5.3.B. and Tables 1 and 2 of the Water Code, the Trenton Equivalent Flow Objective shall vary based upon the time of year and location of the salt front, and minimum compensating releases shall be made by the City of New York from its reservoirs in the upper Delaware Basin.
