Jason Smith submitted a summary of questions and comments related to the the February Stream Data and the Discharge Management Plan (DMP).  Jason Smith started by reviewing the February Stream Data.  There was discussion on the specific methodology used for flow calculation.  Dr. Browne stated that a steam flow rating curve and equation were developed based on measured depths and manually measured steam flows.  Solicitor Prevoznik stated that the rating curve and equation should be included in the DMP.  Jason Smith agreed.  Dr. Browne stated that he would include this in the DMP and Greenway Monitoring Report.  There was discussion on who, when, and how the gates are adjusted.  Dr. Browne stated that the pond at the lake outlet is a limiting factor on how much water can be released through the gates.  After further discussion it was decided that the DMP would be revised to include information on who, when, and how the tower is regulated throughout the year.  Dr. Browne will submit a revised DMP to Jason Smith by April 15 for his review.  The Board agreed to meet with Mt.
