Corps Of Engineers "take Line"

The water will never (never say never, I know) go above the levels we saw in 2011. Simple reason is - electric motors.

 

The electric motors that control the flood gates are just above the 936 ft. mark on the TR lake side of the dam, potentially exposed to water. If the lake level ever got so high that wave action would get these motors wet and cause them to malfunction, the Corp would lose all control of the lake. Therefore, they will NEVER let the lake get that high. They would essentially open the gates all the way before the level reached 936+ ft.

 

That's what I was told in the spring of 2011.

How about the elevation of the catwalks at the dam?  That has been mentioned during high water events.
