Bureau of Reclamation

Operating Criteria and 1997 Annual

Plan of Operations for Glen Canyon

Dam

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Adoption of operating criteria

and 1997 annual plan of operations.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Grand Canyon

Protection Act of 1992, the Bureau of

Reclamation (Reclamation) is required

to prepare formal Operating Criteria and

an Annual Plan of Operations following

completion of an audit by the General

Accounting Office (GAO) and the

Record of Decision (ROD) on the

Operation of Glen Canyon Dam. The

GAO audit was completed on October 2.

1996, and the Glen Canyon Dam

Operation ROD was signed on October

9, 1996. Draft copies of the proposed

Operating Criteria and the 1997 Annual

Plan of Operations were distributed to

Governors of the Colorado River Basin

States, the Upper Colorado River

Commission, appropriate Federal

agencies, Indian Tribes, representatives

of academic and scientific communities,

environmental organizations, the

recreation industry, contractors for the

purchase of federal power produced at

Glen Canyon Dam, and others interested

in Colorado River operations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Bruce Moore, Bureau of Reclamation,

125 South State Street, Room 6107, Salt

Lake City, Utah 84138–1102; telephone:

801–524–3702.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Operating Criteria specify the

requirements for an annual report of

operations under the Grand Canyon

Protection Act, a periodic review of

Operating Criteria, and details regarding

operational constraints. These

constraints include maximum,

minimum, and daily fluctuation flow

rates, maximum ramp rates, emergency

exception criteria, flood frequency

reduction measures, habit maintenance

flows, and beach/habitat building flows.

The 1997 Annual Plan of Operations

reflects the operation of Glen Canyon

Dam consistent with the Operating

Criteria. Monthly releases are expected

to vary between 600,000 acre-feet and

1,500,000 acre-feet and daily

fluctuations will likely vary between

6,000 cfs/day and 8,000 cfs/day

depending on monthly release volumes.

The revised maximum daily flow rate of

25,000 cfs and the maximum upramp

rate of 4,000 cfs/hr. will be placed into

effect following signing of these

documents by the Secretary of the

Interior. The following paragraphs

contain the final text of the Operating

Criteria and the 1997 Plan of Operations

for Glen Canyon Dam.

Operating Criteria: These Operating

Criteria are promulgated according to

section 1804 of Public Law 102–575, the

Grand Canyon Protection Act of 1992.

They are to control the operation of

Glen Canyon Dam, constructed under

the authority of the Colorado River

Storage Project Act. These Operating

Criteria are separate and apart from the

Criteria for Coordinated Long-Range

Operation of Colorado River Reservoirs

prepared according to the Colorado

River Basin Project Act of 1968.

1. Annual Report: As required in the

Grand Canyon Protection Act, a report

shall be prepared and submitted to

Congress annually. This report will

describe the operation of Glen Canyon

Dam for the preceding water year and

the expected operation for the upcoming

water year. The annual plan of

operations shall include such detailed

rules and quantities as are required by

the Operating Criteria contained herein.

It shall provide a detailed explanation of

the expected hydrologic conditions for
