STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. The Engineer, in conjunction with the State, shall establish a set of study goals and objectives based on the existing conditions and corridor enhancement needs. Goals shall include long-, medium-, and short-term transportation, parking, land use, urban form, linkage, and physical characteristics.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. Release water requested by Recovery Program for augmentation of Yampa River flows, maintain the reservoir facilities and comply with all permit Requirements. Elkhead Reservoir, Yampa River. Agreements provide for release of 5,000 af of stored water and up to 2,000 af annually of supplemental lease water for augmentation of Yampa River flows. The Recovery Program requests reservoir releases for various purposes. The River District and the City of Xxxxx operate the reservoir to make requested releases and keep all required records. Winter – reservoir operations are limited. Low flow releases are made to assist with maintenance of open stream conditions for stock watering downstream of the reservoir. Diversion records from previous year are completed and submitted to the SEO. Spring – reservoir operations to fill in spring are managed to bring the reservoir pool to full reasonably quickly to provide hydrology for wetland mitigation area development and to reduce erosion of inlet wetland development by incoming spring flows. Reservoir fill is managed to reach elevation 6371 prior to commencement of peak runoff to protect wetland mitigation features in the upstream end of the reservoir. Spillway fish barrier net installed in 2016 will allow reservoir levels to be maintained closer to full and enhance wetland mitigation development. Weed control is undertaken on reservoir lands. Summer – reservoir is operated to bypass inflow necessary to meet Elkhead Creek demands from senior water rights holders and to make releases requested by the Recovery Program, any contracts for River District water, and releases requested by the other pool holders City of Craig, the Xxxxx Station Power Plant, and Tri-State. Fall – reservoir releases xxxxx as irrigation demand downstream slows and calls for fish releases cease. Deliverables- Deliver water on demand.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. Goal: To operate a genetically sound captive propagation and production program for high priority endangered fish species for the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program (UCREFRP) in accordance with the Revised Integrated Stocking Plan for Razorback Sucker and Bonytail (UCREFRP 2015). Objective: Operate and maintain propagation facilities that are needed to hold, rear, or produce captive- reared endangered fishes for the UCREFRP in accordance with the Annual Propagation Operation Plan.
