    What government genius thought it would be a good idea to wait to do concrete work below the dam until fall/winter? Is there a good reason to not do this project in late summer? Is there not a source of info that says it is more likely to rain large amounts in late fall and winter?

    The dumb part was not using 8 tubes to discharge water instead of 3. They have to do this every 10 years or so because the outflow wears the bottom out of the splash box. 3 tubes looks to me like half of normal flow and we don't usually have this much rain in the fall.
    You make the lake this high in August and the tourist trade suffers much more than now.

    The following statement is true. The previous statement is false.

    Couldn’t they upgrade the splash box? I’m completely ignorant on the engineering involved, but are other lakes having to repeat this same process?

    If conditions allow we will re-open the Tailwater recreation area tomorrow (Saturday, 21st) and we plan to open up to 1 tenth on the main gates, this will be a cfs of a little over 500. We plan to stay there through Sunday (22nd). First thing Monday (23rd) morning, we plan to open up to 6 tenths on the main gates, this will be a cfs of over 2,000. First thing Tuesday (24th) morning, we plan to increase to 14 tenths on the main gates, this will be a cfs of about 4,000-5,000. We plan to hold this through Wednesday (25th) and Thursday (26th), and if the weather is favorable, will open up to 21 or 22 tenths on Friday (27th), this will be a cfs of over 7,500
