§ 57.25. Turbine operation practices.
Hydroelectric units must operate strictly as run-of-the-river operations without peaking or pulsing modes of operation. Run-of-the-river operation prevents undesirable lake level fluctuations and rapid changes in stream flows below the facility and protects boating and fishing recreational interests. Flashboards not exceeding 6 inches in height will not be considered a peaking or pulsing mode of operation; but, when flashboards are placed in use, specified minimum flows must be continuously maintained. Debris removal plans shall be implemented when flashboard installations are breached by high waters, ice or any other influence.
