6. Last day of recreation releases for this year will be September 30, as shown above.
7. Releases shown are minimum releases. Actual releases may be higher or longer than shown. In addition, sudden higher or lower (or no) releases may result from emergency mechanical or electrical conditions.
8. Before heading out, be sure to check the relevant Dreamflows flow report and Bulletin Board thread to determine current and expected release trends.
9. Users are urged to use caution and to wear all appropriate personal protective equipment.
