[Awclist] Chama

[Tim Scofield]

The text of the last message should have said Chama not chains - %$**
spellcheck.

Right now we're back in article 7 so there's no more storage in El Vado and
about 35k acre ft of water needs to be moved by June 15th. They're going to
try to do a flushing flow also and get some bank/channel movement in the El
Vado to Monastery  canyon area.

I'ld prefer to have the peak on a weekend, but they are worried about
getting all of the water out in time to meet compact requirements and
putting the peak in the middle of high flows decreases their effectiveness
in the day run section.

So:

This weekend look for 1500 cfs
Monday - 2k
Tuesday - 3k
Wednesday - 4k
Thursday - 1k to try to get the bank/channel movement in the canyon area
Friday - ~2500 until the stored water runs out

Probably 800 to 1k through June into July coming into El Vado which will be
released. Then into August they'll likely use some Reclamation and Sante Fe
water for low weekend recreational releases.
