3.2.4 On-Demand Release 



In addition to the minimum flow, the IJC apportionment recommendation entitles Montana to an on- 

 demand release to be delivered on the East Poplar River during the twelve-month period commencing 

 June 1. Based on the runoff volume of 2,080 dam^ (1,690 acre-feet) recorded at the Poplar River at 

 International Boundary gauging station during the March 1 to May 31, 2000 period, Montana was 

 entitled to an additional release of 370 dam^ (300 acre-feet) from Cookson Reservoir during the 

 succeeding twelve-month period commencing June 1 , 2000. Montana requested this release to be made 

 between May 1 and May 31, 2001. A volume of 385 dam^ (312 acre-feet), in addition to the minimum 

 flow, was delivered during this period. A hydrograph showing cumulative volume of the on-demand 

 release request and on-demand release delivery made at the East Poplar River at International Boundary 

 is shown in Figure 3.3
