"In certain situations, changing project operating procedures can improve safety conditions at a project. For instance, altering or imposing ramping rates for generating units can prevent sudden increases in tailwater levels. Modifying gate opening procedures may reduce or eliminate sudden surges in flows or may be used to direct flows to less hazardous areas. Each owner should be encouraged to review operating procedures as they affect public safety and to propose any necessary improvements, consistent with good public safety practices and the primary purposes of the project."
