The commission adopted a motion to keep reservoir outflow at 30 cubic feet per second after the dam tender reported water-surface elevations and recommended no change in release rates.
The county’s dam-tender reported a water-surface elevation of 6,428.25 feet, 15 inches below full pool, and recommended maintaining the outflow at 30 cubic feet per second (CFS). A commissioner moved to “stay at 30 CFS,” the motion was seconded and a voice vote was taken with an affirmative result. The commission’s action recorded as “motion carried and passed.” No immediate operational changes to the reservoir release schedule were ordered beyond maintaining the current flow rate; staff will continue to monitor reservoir elevations and report any need to change releases to the commission.
