2. On Thursday, September 14, NID will start ramping up with a target flow of 135 cfs. They will be close to 135 cfs by the end of the day, but will likely need to do some fine tuning on the 15th.
3. On Friday, September 15, NID will fine-tune the flow to a target of 135 cfs.
4. NID will release 135 cfs (or as close as they can manage) from September 16 through 26.
5. NID expects to ramp down to fish flows on Wednesday morning, September 27. However, that may change depending on staffing, weather, and water availability.
6. Actual flow could be higher or lower than shown due to emergency mechanical or electrical conditions, unexpected precipitation, or other reasons outside NID's control.
7. Releases are from French Lake. Dreamflows estimates that it takes approximately 30 minutes for the water to travel from French Lake to Weil Lake, 3 hours to Faucherie Lake, and 24 hours to Sawmill Lake.
8. Users are urged to use caution and to wear all appropriate personal protective equipment.
