The dam itself if capable of 5K+ cfs (true Max in the report is ~8K under specific conditions)..... however the actual max recommended flow back at that time was around 2.6K do to the capacity of the River in that area....

The output of Avery Dam is really dependent on the level at which the lake is being maintained.

in short my take here is that what ever goes in from Winni, goes out through Avery Dam......
