CP-1(A) | Crane Prairie Reservoir Operation

From March 15 through July 15, the water surface elevation of Crane Prairie Reservoir will be maintained between 4,443.23 feet and 4,443.48 feet, which correspond to storage volumes of about 46,800 acre-feet and 48,000 acre-feet, respectively.

The minimum instream flow in the Deschutes River between Crane Prairie Dam and Wickiup Reservoir (CRAO) will be 75 cfs at all times unless total inflow to the reservoir is not sufficient to maintain this level of instream flow and meet the water surface elevations requirements in Items A through D. When total inflow is not sufficient to maintain a minimum instream flow of 75 cfs and meet the water surface elevation requirements in Items A through D, the instream flow at CRAO may be reduced to 30 cfs. If total inflow to the reservoir is not sufficient to meet the water surface elevation requirements in Items A through D and maintain an instream flow of 30 cfs, the instream flow will remain at 30 cfs and the water surface elevation requirements in Items A through D will be relaxed until such time as inflow increases.

WR-1(A) | Wickiup Reservoir Operation

From April 1 through September 15, flow at WICO will be at least 600 cfs. An adaptive management element will be used to test whether going directly to 600 cfs by April 1 provides enhanced survival of OSF. In coordination with USFWS, flows may be set at 400 cfs by April 1 and increased to 600 cfs within the first 2 weeks of April. Annual snow pack, weather and in-stream conditions will inform this decision.
