The only "negative" thing the COE has done is wait until so late in the year to work on the spill basin (IMHO) ... when they should have done it back in the late Summer / early Fall period, when the lake was down at Summer Pool & much less chance of heavy rains complicating things.

If you look at this COE chart : https://www.lrl-wc.usace.army.mil/plots/grr.html ... you will see that "IF" we have the same rainfall conditions as last year in Feb/March, Green could be in a world of hurt !!
