2007 West River releases (Ball Mtn & Townsend dams)

Date

Time

Flow

Notes
Sat. April 28th 8:30am-until water is depleted 1500 cfs Recreational (no shuttle)
Sun. April 29th
Sat. Sept 22nd Recreational

Note: There is at least a two hour delay from the release times stated above until the water gets to the put in.

Flows on this section of the West are regulated by the Army Corps of Engineers flood control dam at the put in. Most of the time it is "run of the river". That means whatever comes in from above is passed through without any hold back regulation. Although, during high water event, the dam could be holding back water. Usually this water is slowly discharged several days after the event to allow boating during that time period.
