Eno River Capacity Use Agreement conditions for Stage V include zero release from Lake Orange to maintain instream flow. 2. Stage V does include a 1.0 cfs release from West Fork Reservoir for instream flow. 3. Beaver activity and the presence of large quantities of fallen leaves all along the Eno River have caused the formation of a number of very efficient instream catchments. This, in turn, compounds difficulties in the process of maintaining and quantifying instream flow.
