Here is the latest:
Blakely, Carpenter and Remmel will be releasing about 3,600 CFS daily from 2 to 8 PM weekdays. On Saturday and Sunday, in support of Swiftwater Rescue Training downstream the release start times will start at 7 AM, Saturday and Sunday at 9 AM.

DeGray will only be releasing about 2200 CFS for 6 hours in the afternoons starting at about 2 PM.

We do our best to plan our operations and to accurately communicate those plans, however system conditions are subject to change at a moment's notice and we may not always be available to communicate those changes in a timely fashion.

Hopefully, IT will get it going next week. We have found the problem and hopefully they will get it done soon.

Ted,
Thank you for the update, over the course of the last two weekends, several of us have floated downstream from Remmel Dam and have really enjoyed the cool, abundant water! I hope to see you at this year's 'Surf&Turf''.

Best Regards
Jim

Any clue as to when the generators will shut off? Since the generators are turning on early, will they be shutting off early as well? Is anyone else going tomorrow that would be interested in shuttling?

David,
My thinking is that Entergy will probably be releasing as late in the day as they usually do, however they are just getting started a bit earlier to provide an adequate flow rate for the classes this weekend. Have a good float.

Best Regards
Jim
