The flow reductions were to be in three stages over a 24 hour period. Due to significant <br />citizen intervention the Watermaster changed the flow reduction to seven stages over a 40 hour <br />period. Ramping of flows was an issue that the State of California, the region, and Truckee had been <br />discussing in conjunction with the TROA relating to the health of the river. The issue was presently <br />included in the TROA Guidelines, i.e. things that CA would like and, if the Federal Watermaster <br />could do, would do. There was a need for better focus, consistency, coordination, and representation <br />on the Truckee River regarding the health of the ecosystem. She then reviewed the draft letter to <br /> <br /> <br />
