Operations Resource Conservation Group

The Mission of the Operations Resource Conservation Group (ORCG) is to oversee the development of a robust hydrologic model for the Saluda Project which will establish a baseline of current hydrologic, hydraulic, and operational conditions, and aid in analyzing and understanding the potential upstream and downstream effects of potential changes to project operations, in support of the missions and goals of all other Saluda Hydroelectric Relicensing RCGs. The objective is to fairly consider those impacts, to include low-flow conditions as a part of developing consensus-based, operations focused recommendations for the FERC license application. Model results are to be presented in readily understandable terms and format. A key measure of success in achieving the mission and goals will be a published Protection, Mitigation, and Enhancement (PM&E) Agreement.
