Missouri River Flow

Where can a guy find the planned Missouri Releases for the Garrison Dam?

I can find the current day's releases, just nothing for planned releases. Trying to find the next 7-10 day release plan. Wasn't sure if they had anything like that available.

Dunno, but MSA posted an article last week I think, stating that the powerhouse would have zero discharges for a large part of tomorrow, and the following Thursday and Friday. (or close).

So when there is 0 discharge, does it just dry up overnight? Anyone got pics of how this looks 23 hours after cutting off the water flow?

Exactly my thoughts when someone tried telling me this... Wouldn't that abrupt decrease in water create a dehydration crisis with the piping plover population? The core would never do something like that!

Might be a good time to head up there with some scuba gear and a spear gun...

You'd think a guy could go and pick up a lifetime supply of lost cranks. Dm could be busy.

They only cut if for 6 hours at a time.

"The PLANNED" outputs are up on the bulletin board at pony express. I was told they will not cut it completely off and that average wiil still be about what they "plan" on daily. meaning lower in morning and increased flow in evening. Also the mountain snow pack is melting faster than normal meaning june rise will be early?? p.s. remember it is the corp. they beat to there own drum!! I thought I read somewhere they also said road to ramp will be closed during repairs??
