This is correct information. A few years ago when I was at the coprs office at Green getting my parking permit I asked about how the schedule was to raise the lake. Obviously mother nature has to give us some rain to raise the water level. If the level is over what the projected pool is for the particular day of the month they will release water. They gave me a paper with a daily lake level for all lakes in the Green River water shed (green,barren,nolin,rough) and they will start holding water if we get rain after march 1.

Local corp of engineers offices do not determine when or how much water to hold or discharge. All decisions come from the main office in Louisville,KY.
