As far as use of the WSCC data goes, I noticed that you've got table entries and are showing '0' values for a lot of plants that have never reported reliably, such as Hermiston, Gadsby, Priest Rapids, Wanapum, etc.-- I'd leave those out until we see some plausible data reported. Also, we don't use data from plants where better numbers are available from other sources, e.g. most Pacific Northwest federal hydro. Also, are you doing anything to filter out bad hours? There are intermittent periods where series of zeros or series of identical readings are erroneously reported due to telemetry failures. If you're computing totals or averages from the WSCC data that are consistently smaller than known, accurate reports, then this might be the cause.

Please look them over and make sure that they are in the correct order an make sense. Some of the monthly averages in the report do not match the CEMS database number. I wanted to know if I should fill in the historicals with the CEMS numbers or keep these. If you could just look these over and let me know if they make sense I would appriciate it. Matt Lenhart
