[env-trinity] FW: Trinity River 2007 Release Schedule

[Josh Allen]

Greetings everyone,

The 2007 water year for the Trinity River has been classified as "Dry".
This classification is based on the April 50% exceedence water year
forecast from the California Department of Water Resources. The water
allocation associated with a "dry" year is 453,000 acre-feet. The dry
year release schedule calls for flow releases from Lewiston Dam to the
Trinity River to remain at 300 cfs through April 26th. Releases will
start increasing on April 27th and peak at 4,500 cfs on May 1st. The
peak release of 4,500 cfs will be held for 5 days then flow will
gradually decrease until summer baseflow releases of 450 cfs are reached
on June 25th. The summer baseflows will be held at 450 cfs through
October 15, 2007. Attached, please find the 2007 daily flow release
schedule from Lewiston Dam to the Trinity River as approved by the
Trinity Management Council on March 29, 2007.

you are interested in more information about the flow scheduling process
or signing up to receive automated release change notices for Lewiston

questions.

Regards,

John
