    Re: Wolf creek dam 80,000cfs ?????

    I hope not...Maybe we should call Burksville and see if they are still on the map
    Oh, I just noted, you are in Burksville so all must be well, unless you are posting from a LIFE RAFT.....he...he.

    COE web site data has contained errors in the past and I suspect this is just another one of those (typo's?)...See attached COE graph of Lake Level and Discharge Flow:..http://www.orn.usace.army.mil/hh/resplots/wol.gif...

    I live ~ 10 miles from the dam, so think I'll just take a drive over there. Will post later on what I see.

    Friday at 3:00 pm: Just got back. Water level below Wolf Creek Dam does not look to be significantly higher then what I observed this past Wednesday (based upon level at observed landmarks). I would expect it to be MUCH higher if they were discharging 80,000. So, still question the COE report of 80,000.

    River at Burksville is at 43 feet (COE data) which is up 3 feet from the NOMINAL of 40 feet, where it has been from January 26 to present. http://www2.mvr.usace.army.mil/Water...&dt=S&pcode=HG

    This link shows the graph but also gives hourly data below it. Things have been holding steady at 23,740.
