<DIV><SPAN class=046462323-15042004><FONT size=3>At yesterday's meeting, the TMC
approved the recommended flow (water) release schedule for this water
year. It is basically the same as last year - ramping up from 300 cfs to
500 cfs on/about May 9, and then up to 2000 cfs on May 15, and ramping down to a
summer base of 450 cfs starting July 9. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046462323-15042004><FONT size=3>This schedule is based upon an
available court-mandated dry year water volume of 453,000 acre feet, implemented
in a way that maximizes</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=046462323-15042004><FONT size=3>biological/temperature
objectives. Trade-off is that water volume is unavailable to achieve geomorphic
objectives through a peak release early in the season.</DIV></FONT></SPAN>
