Members Mudshack Posted July 9, 2015 Members Posted July 9, 2015 From the USGS graph it looks to be around 846.5 and falling on the 13th of June. Also outflow is going back up today to 2800 CFS and we can start the cycle all over again. Well hopefully except for the rainfall and rising of the lake level. Thanks MOPanfisher!!
MOPanfisher Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/lakesites/BasinOperations.pdf Try this, I have never seen the actual lake regulation manual on line anywhere.
Members NicknKC Posted July 9, 2015 Members Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks, I have seen that, and it shows the control points and flood zones for Truman, but not Pomme. Just curious at what point they will step up from 2800 CFS like they use to do to more like 3500 CFS. I was once told that 3500 CFS was the maximum they could release without causing downstream flooding and erosion. Obviously if we were in catastrophic flood, they would have to release more, but we are nowhere near that. The lake would tend to drop about .6 a day at 3500CFS release. We have to be getting to that critical point. More rain and the lake may push over 860. Just hoping the rain will stop and they can start moving some water so my family's summer is not lost!
MOPanfisher Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Ah I see what you are wanting now. The tandem balance slide is the closest get to a "control point" since it all has to run through Truman and LoZ on the way to the MO River. However Phase 1 release is maxed at 2800 CFS, Phase 2 Release is maxed at 3500 CFS, and Phase 3 is 6,000 CFS. The break line between Phase 1 - 2 - 3 is a sliding scare based on the time of the year (which relates to likilhood of heavy rains) mid july the phase 2 elevation is 859.5 so hopefully we won't make that. In the spring the Phase 2 elevation can be as low as 846.2. Bite your tongue on the more rain part.
Members NicknKC Posted July 9, 2015 Members Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks for explanation... It did not make any sense to me as to why as high as the lake has gotten, they have not bumped release up when I knew at other times when the lake has been at lower elevation that they would run 3500 CFS. Just wishful thinking they can drop the lake quicker so we can start enjoying summer again.....
MOPanfisher Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 Latest update. Outflow is at 3500 CFS, Phase II/Level maximum. With the forecast looking sunny and dry I expect it to stay there at least through the weekend and into early next week before levels drop enough to put us back in Phase I level/release maximu of 2800 CFS. trapshot25 1
Members NicknKC Posted July 10, 2015 Members Posted July 10, 2015 FYI....Also thought I would throw out, the Harbor is closed until further notice due to flooding. Just saw that on my Facebook feed from their feed. This would include the restaurant, and marina (gas) I am assuming.
Members Mudshack Posted July 10, 2015 Members Posted July 10, 2015 Wow. Sure would love to see some pics around the harbor...the campgrounds...and video of 3500cfs flowing out of that place.
MOPanfisher Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 Have plenty of video of 3500 cfs release, not much to look at, splashes a little more. The far point at the harbor is stranded as water is over the road. The vault toilet at the boat ramp is only a couple inches above the water level right now.
buzzbaitr Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 So I am coming down tomorrow, any advice on the bass fishing? Is there a good amount of debris on the main lake?
