Adequate stream flows.
Adequate stream flows. Operators of dams and hydropower installations shall maintain adequate continuous stream flows over the dam to protect fisheries resources and habitat located between the toe of the dam and the tailrace of the hydrounits. The habitat which is necessary for any portion of the life cycle of existing or potential fisheries must receive adequate flow to maintain habitat in a usable condition. The Commission will determine the minimum flow requirements and provide them to the developer early in the consultation process.
