Boaters, recreationists, and irrigators should prepare for changing river flows below the reservoirs and the rapid lowering and refilling of Guernsey Reservoir.

Federal officials use the forecast released each August to make decisions about how to allocate river water.

Participants will be asked to sign a liability waiver before starting the cleanup.

The projects are both located on tributaries to the Bighorn River.

The reservoir's normal operating range is between 5,487 and 5,489 feet.

The Bureau of Reclamation on Wednesday announced that it will begin filling the reservoir on April 1.

The bureau's commissioner, Brenda Burman, plans to discuss the status of the plans Friday with reporters.
