According to the corp of engineers web site for 12/3/12 GRL was 673.55 and the level was stable. The main gate was set on 0.0 and the by pass was set on .40 with a discharge of 48 cfs. The inflow was 71 cfs hence no change in the water level. The next 24 hour main gate setting is listed as no change. (48 cfs and 71 cfs is barely any water at all) If my memory is correct the max outflow is a main gate setting of 1.7 which results in a discharge of about 8000 cfs. On the inflow side of things the May 2011 flood inflow was around 48,000 cfs...which is why I say 48 cfs and 71 cfs is barley anything.


...now just because it is listed that way on their web page does not make it true. I have personally seen different things going on with the tail waters than what they have listed. I have seen them skip days with no report and also be 1-2 days behind reporting things. Hence the reason I only use their web site as a reference.

I was just wondering where you got your information about the main gate setting being .60 on 12/3 and then going to .22 on 12/4 If that is true .22 will be less water going through the main gate not more. They can lower the lake 1.5-1.7 ft per day if there is little to no inflow. They normally lower the lake around .6-.9 ft per. The way they are doing it this fall is different from any year that I have ever seen so who knows when they will lower the lake. I keep telling my self that they will lower it any day...sooner or latter I will be right LOL.

I also noticed they have Barren,Nolin and Rough shut off. Must be something going on down stream of the upper Green River tail waters.
