If this is not a new event, I would disagree with you. If it is a new event I guess it is a possibility....

However I think they have been working diligently to get the lake level down to an appropriate level. Unfortunately with this being a very Rainy season that hasn't been easy. While it would be nice if they could keep the lake at 504.32 FAS, it is not possible. The lake has to be prepared for anything that could happen. Now that the lake level is reach its normal level, and assuming that the we don't get much more high perceptional events, I would look for the dam to slowly work towards 250 cfs...and then maintain that flow for the rest of the summer if possible.
