*Ramping up from 20 cfs to ~1800 cfs over the morning hours. We expect to be at full releases at the dam by noon.

These are planned releases. Actual releases could vary due to PH outages and emergency operational concerns.

Releases are expected to remain below 1000 cfs from Tuesday through the next runoff season.

Any significant changes to the schedule will be posted on the bulletin board.
