Hydrologic studies indicate the releases are necessary 92% of the time during the 41- year period of study. 5_/ Minimum flow of 2 cfs. The estimated seepage below the dam occurs randomly about 8% of the time during the 41- year period of study. 6/ The minimum release for downstream use would usually occur during water years of maximum runoff when intervening stream gains are the greatest. |
