General manager reports Lake Atoka stayed near full; pumpage and deliveries summarized
Summary
General Manager Baron Trent reported 52.39 inches of rainfall over a 12-month range, Atoka Lake received 18,433 acre-feet from McGee Creek, averaged 107,302 acre-feet in volume, and pumpage delivered about 93% of available capacity.
Baron Trent, the authority's general manager, told the Lake Atoka Reservation Authority that the lake remained essentially full over the reported 12-month range and summarized rainfall, volume and pumpage figures.
Trent said total rainfall for the 12-month range was 52.39 inches, which he described as 5.59 inches above the 46.8-inch current average. He reported Atoka Lake received 18,433 acre-feet from McGee Creek during that period, and the lake's elevation averaged 589.74 feet, about three inches below full. "We stayed consistently full for the year," Trent said.
Trent gave volume and pumpage totals: an average lake volume of 107,302 acre-feet for the 12-month range; pumpage from August 2023 to July 2024 totaled about 83,000 acre-feet. He said the Atoka pump station could have delivered a total of 89,611 acre-feet and that the actual pumpage of 83,202 acre-feet represented roughly 93% of potential delivery. "We did deliver as far as our current lake elevation, we're full today. Just a smidge under full," he added.
Those figures were presented as part of the general manager's regular report; no board questions or challenges appear in the transcript.
