Water Management Issues:

1.  Originally, 400 cfs releases were scheduled until October 14.  However, because anticipated power generation was not required after all, and because they needed to prevent spill at Forbestown Diversion dam downstream, the last boatable scheduled release day was October 6.

2.  The above schedule shows the expected releases, as planned by South Feather Water & Power.  Actual flows could have been higher or lower than shown due to emergency mechanical or electrical conditions, unexpected precipitation, or other reasons outside SFW&P's control.
