LET’S LOOK AT THE CURRENT DAM CONFIGURATION

• 1978: BASED ON COMPUTER MODELING THAT SIMULATED LAKE ELEVATIONS, THE 188’ SPILLWAY WAS FILLED WITH 174’ OF 6” BOARDS TO MAINTAIN THE LEGAL WATER HEIGHT SET IN 1976

• (NOTE THAT CURRENTLY THERE ARE LESS THAN 174’ OF BOARDS)

• THIS MODEL REQUIRED THAT THE SLUICE GATES BE USED TO CONTROL LAKE LEVELS IN PERIODS OF EXCESS OR BELOW AVERAGE PRECIPITATION.

• (AT THIS TIME, THE GATES ARE NOT BEING USED)
