I attended the Bear Lake Preservation Advisory Committee Meeting where Rocky Mountain Power (PacifiCorp) releases the projected
lake levels and the irrigation allocation.
For this year: Current Elevation: 5913.45', which is about 50% of the storage
capacity of Bear Lake. Not the total capacity of Bear Lake, just 50% of the top
21' of storage capacity.
Projected high for 2014: 5915.50' (range of 5914.1 - 5917.1) The two
values in the "range" are 90% probability of 'not' happening. In other words
there is a 90% chance we will exceed 5914.1' and a 90% chance we will not get
higher than 5917.1.
Current inflow into Bear Lake from Bear River is 250 cubic feet per second
(CFS). Since the anticipated peak elevation (5915.5') is greater than 5914.7'
(point at which conservation begins to take place), the irrigators have been
granted a 100% allotment for 2014. This amounts to 245,000 acre/feet.
