The Army Corps updated the plan, which states whitewater and fisheries releases will be scheduled if enough water storage is accumulated in the reservoir. Precipitation throughout the early part of the summer has enabled the Army Corps to schedule the first five increments of the plan, which includes the following additions:

1. Add a whitewater event on Aug. 29 (650 cubic feet per second) and increase fisheries enhancement releases to 100 cubic feet per second for the period of July 18-24

2. Add a whitewater event for Aug. 30 (650 cubic feet per second) and increase fisheries enhancement releases to 100 cubic feet per second for the period of July 25-31

3. Add a whitewater event on Sept. 5 (650 cubic feet per second) and increase fisheries enhancement releases to 100 cubic feet per second for the period of Aug. 1-7.

4. Add a whitewater event on Sept. 6 (650 cubic feet per second) and increase fisheries enhancement releases to 100 cubic feet per second for the period of Aug. 8-14
