Fall Flows Implementation Plan Purpose Statement:
The purpose of the annual Fall Flows Implementation Plan is to define the technical evaluation and
management process (environmental permitting, identification of water source, release schedules from
Iron Gate Dam and/or Trinity Dam, and the timing and duration of the releases considering travel time
from the dams to the Lower Klamath River) required to implement a Proactive/Preventative and/or
Emergency fall reservoir release(s) from the Iron Gate or Trinity Dams for the purposes of minimizing or
averting chronic and acute effects of disease pathogens on adult Klamath/Trinity fall run Chinook
salmon in the Lower Klamath River. The Fall Flows Subgroup provides technical evaluation into this
process, including; river flow forecasts/modeling, run-size forecasts, and evaluation of Proactive and
Emergency flow release criteria. The Fall Flows Subgroup will also recommend biological and physical
assessments for the purposes of adaptive management.
