Subject: Releases from Lewiston Dam for Lower Klamath River Flow Augmentation

Lorraine,
 
Your question about the increased flows was forwarded to me, and since I have no indication you received an earlier reply, I’ll respond.
 
The augmentation flows will continue until approximately September 21, after which the release rate from Lewiston Dam will ramp down to 450 cfs.  There is river travel time to be taken into account (Lewiston Dam to the Lower Klamath) and by that time there is the possibility of rainfall events in the Klamath River Basin that could influence the Lewiston Dam release rates and dates.
 
I hope this is helpful—please let us know if you need more information.

I did see an original email about the higher flows going into September, but do not remember seeing an end date for those higher flows, though think it said it would be the last week of September? . Do you have any more specific information on when those releases from Lewiston will drop back down to less then 700 cfs?

Thanks, Lorraine
