Article 405. Lake Level Plan

(a) Beginning within one year of the effective date of the New License, and for
the term of the New License, including any subsequent annual licenses, Chelan PUD
shall make every reasonable effort to comply with the Lake level management practices
described in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Plan, which is incorporated herein by
reference. Specifically, Chelan PUD shall make every reasonable effort to comply with
the following objectives (contained in section 3.1 of Chapter 8 of the comprehensive
Plan): (1) maintaining minimum flows in the Chelan River (this objective has priority
over lake levels); (2) reducing high flows in the Chelan River (this objective has priority
over lake levels); (3) satisfying regulatory requirements for flood control (adjusting lake
level); (4) providing usable lake levels for recreation (which varies between elevation
1,090 and 1,098 ft., depending on the slope of the shoreline and boat dock
configurations); (5) reduce shoreline erosion; (6) preventing fish passage blockages (due
to tributary barriers); and (7) minimizing the effect of refill on attainment of flow
objectives for salmon in the mainstem Columbia River.

(b) Table 8-1 in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Plan, and included below,
indicates the lake level elevations that Chelan PUD shall seek to achieve, to the extent
consistent with the objectives listed in subsection (a) of this Article:
