Here’s what it looked like at Norfork Dam today. Each gate is open a half of a foot. The total spillway and hydropower release is just above 10,000 cubic feet per second. This is a non-damaging release. The peak rainfall runoff from Tropical Storm Cristobal poured into the reservoir around 32,000 c.f.s. Without the dam, flows downstream would be roughly 3 times higher. Six White River Basin lakes are operated together as a system to reduce the frequency and severity of floods. These lakes are Be

UPDATE w/VIDEO: We are making a surcharge spillway release from Norfork Dam to prevent an overtopping as water levels continue to rise from recent heavy rainfall. Nine spillway gates will be open half a foot releasing approximately of 4,972 cubic feet per second.The total release from the spillway and hydropower units will be around 10,500 c.f.s. The spillway release will end after the flood pool crests and recedes to elevation 579’ per the water control plan. The top of the flood pool on Norfor

Time will show that the Klamath Dam removal project will be one of the largest environmental disasters in American history. Gavin Newsom and KRRC created a River of Death. Laboratory analysis of the Klamath River water after the sediments from Iron Gate and Copco Lakes were released into the main stem of the Klamath River show high concentrations of dangerous heavy metals such as Lead, Mercury, and Chromium. Chromium in the Klamath River was tested in some places at significantly above the maxim
