I figure the COE thinks there will be an impending Zombie attack due to the severe virus outbreak we are having. They have Panicked like the other snowflakes....but as a precaution to the end of days, they built a bunker under the dam and will be operating the dam from there.
There will be nothing that stops the COE from deviating from the water management orders from 1950...they must keep CJ 6 feet lower than normal all through the spawns...at all costs!!!
