6/5 Water Release Update (COE)

[Phil Lilley]

Update for 5 June 2015 Update:


Table Rock is currently releasing our authorized flood control release of 15,000 cfs. Table Rock Lake's pool elevation is approximately 918.55 and falling. As long as Table Rock Lake's elevation is between 917 and 920 this operation will continue.

At Table Rock, we are using spillway gates to evacuate flood storage because 2 generators are out of service because of storm related damages."

Table Lake Dam's current spillway/generator release is (7 gates open 1.0 ft; and 3 gates open 0.5 ft). The spillway discharge will be 8100 cfs; Turbine Release is approx 6500 cfs for a total discharge of 14,600 cfs.

With our current operations, it looks like we may be able to end the spillway releases on Monday morning. This is only a forecast and we will see what the lake level is on Monday morning. Table Rock Lake's pool elevation should be just under 917.5' and we will try to draw the pool to 917' with our 2 generators from there.
