Neil Manji: Final TMC Recommendation: In response to letters from the Bureau of Reclamation and Fish and Wildlife Service, dated April 11 and April 13, 2005, based upon present knowledge and data available on 14 April 2005, the TMC does not recommend a fall, 2005, pulse flow. Diverting ROD flows from their planned purposes in order to provide water for a fall pulse flow will result in not fully meeting ROD objectives. Therefore, the TMC does not support use of ROD water for fall, 2005, flow releases. The purpose of increasing the peak flow to 7,000 ft3/s in WY2005 is to accelerate implementation of the ROD by facilitating floodway clearing, specifically realty actions. Due to conditions that may develop over the next several months, or in any given year, the TMC recommends that scientists from the Klamath and Trinity coordinate the establishment, monitoring, and assessment of criteria for determining the onset of die-off conditions in the Klamath River. The TMC will convene and recommend emergency actions should those conditions develop. In the meantime the TMC believes it prudent for Reclamation to explore the potential for acquiring 'outside sources' of water, i.e. supplemental to the ROD volume, in the case the need arises. Moved to adopt the final draft as the TMC response to ROD flows by Manji, seconded by Lagomarsino. There were 7 votes for the recommendation; 1 against, Trinity County on the grounds that a delay should be implemented for fly-fishing season, though the County agrees with all other portions of the recommendation.
Motion PASSED 7 / 1 / 0
