Document - Spokane River, Comments Regarding Establishment of Instream Flows
Abstract
We are very concerned that the instream flow rule for the Spokane River rule was developed without a quantitative evaluation of the flow levels that are necessary to protect the recreational and navigation values of the Spokane River. The proposed rule amendment outlines instream flow levels of 850 cfs in the summer and 6,500 cfs in the spring; these flows are inadequate to support the recreation and navigation values of the Spokane River. we request that you apply methodology generally accepted by the scientific community and widely used in regulatory proceedings to determine instream flows for recreation and navigation on the Spokane RiverDescription
