Duane-
Just wanted to let you know that due to construction at the dam we will be pulling the lake down gradually over the next week or so to about 860' for the week of November 27th and will hold it at that level for about 7-10 days weather permitting.
We are in process of installing a 2nd debris boom at the dam and will need the reservoir down to construct the attachment hardware to the face of the dam for the new debris boom that will stretch from the dam to the west shore line. Once the work is down we will return to our normal winter operating schedule.
Since we are within our FERC permitted limits for the winter and seasonal docks have been removed from the reservoir we will not be putting a public notice out on this but we just wanted to give you advanced information if CLEAR receives any questions on why the lake is down.
