Placer County Water Agency reports today as follows:

Quote:
Recreation flows for rafting will start this Saturday May 23, and run every day this summer, ending Monday September 7.  Oxbow/Afterbay will release 1000 CFS from 0900-1200 each day to meet this requirement.


The above is reflected in the Middle Fork American schedule.

Placer County Water Agency let us know today that releases below Ralston Dam will be 1000 cfs from 8am to noon every day from now until Labor Day.  Previously releases were from 9am to noon.

In addition, there are four longer release days on the schedule, 4am to noon, to support boating below the North Fork confluence.  The dates are July 19, July 25, August 1 and September 4.

The above is reflected in the Middle Fork American schedule.

PCWA will NOT be able to supply recreation flows for Tuesday September 8.

All Middle Fork Project power houses will be shut down today by 8:00pm by PG&E transmission.  PG&E is taking this step as part of their Public Safety Power Shutoff program.  PCWA has not control of this event and loss of MFP water conveyance.

Please forward this information on to anyone who will be affected.  I will send an update about Wed Sep 9 when I have more information, but assume rafting releases will be cancelled that day as well.
