Document - Sullivan Creek Recreation Instream Flow Evaluation
Abstract
Based upon the evaluation, the Department of Ecology concludes that optimum instream flows for advanced and expert kayaking range from 150 to 250 cfs. We recommend consideration of special recreational flow releases for two weekends in the months of September and/or October, provided such releases would be with fish habitat protection needs. The releases could occur in a number of different ways, and we suggest three different scenarios in our report. We request that these scenarios be evaluated in the environmental impact statement which the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is now preparing. We also recommend that boating groups be consulted before choosing a final release schedule.Description
