SKAGIT RIVER ESTUARY Sample Clauses

SKAGIT RIVER ESTUARY. The Skagit River estuarine delta extends from the mouths of the North and South Fork Skagit Rivers upstream to their confluence, although tidal influence reaches as far upstream as Sedro Xxxxxxx. Recent estimates indicate that total estuarine/riverine tidal habitat now covers 6,316 acres, with 2,508 acres of estuarine emergent xxxxx; 2,471 acres of emergent/forested transition; and 1,337 acres of forested riverine/tidal zone. The channel area is estimated at 1,436 acres of main stem channel; 215 acres of subsidiary channels; 59 acres of large blind channels; and a maximum of 232 acres of small blind channels. A 72- percent loss of total estuarine delta habitat has been estimated for the Skagit Basin from the river mouth to Sedro Xxxxxxx. The highest percentage loss is riverine tidal habitat, which has been reduced by about 84 percent. Estuarine forested transition habitat and estuarine emergent xxxxx habitat have also shown dramatic losses of 66 percent and 68 percent, respectively. Currently, there is a fringe of xxxxx habitat seaward of the dikes in the north Skagit Delta and an area of xxxxx along the South Fork Skagit River mouth. Riparian conditions along the sloughs and streams within the Skagit Delta are rated “poor”. Nearly all of the riparian areas along the Fir Island sloughs and 90 percent along the Skagit Flats streams and sloughs have been converted to a non-forest use. A non-forest land use results in a loss of riparian function, and likely affects the water temperatures that are found in many of these streams. The Skagit delta supports large concentrations of wintering waterfowl, shorebirds, and raptors. A significant portion of an entire trumpeter swan population xxxxxxx in this area, as well as the entire population of gray-bellied xxxxx, a subpopulation of xxxxx geese. Additionally, thousands of snow geese utilize fields in the area.

  • Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.
