On another note does anyone know the contact information for the DES agency responsible for the Dam operation? I think it is time to write them a letter. they are trying so hard to track the lake level with the statisical average that they are causing low lake levels almost every year. they need to not open the dam up everytime it rains.... The last time it rained back in either early August or July the lake came up and was higher by a few inches then the statistical average, and insted of letting it come down running the minimum out flow they opened the dam and ran it out over the course of a week. I understand worring about the lake getting to high if a major storm come through....but they need to stop trying to conform to the statiscal average or lower......Looking at the chart provided in Resident 2B post they never let the lake go into positive deviation at all this summer after the intial inflow in the spring

This graph from Bizer shows that life is not so easy when dealing with Mother Nature.
