Libby Dam will begin ramping down early tomorrow
morning to reach the summer flat flow of 14 kcfs
by next Monday, July 22. At 1 a.m. MST, discharge will be reduced from 23.7 kcfs to 23 kcfs. Over a two hour period beginning at 1 a.m. on Friday, discharge will be reduced from 23 kcfs to 18 kcfs. On Sunday morning at 1 a.m., discharge will be reduced from 18 kcfs to 16 kcfs. Finally, over a two hour period beginning at 1 a.m. on Monday, discharge will be reduced from 16 kcfs to 14 kcfs. Discharge will then be held at 14 kcfs through the end of August, unless the pool elevation reaches 2450.' In that case, if necessary, reductions would be made to finish the month of August at elevation 2449' or above. |
