lake level

Find out why/where that minimum outflow of 250 cfs goes and if it still has relevance. If there is an economic need (I have a possibly faulty memory that its to ensure sufficient power generation to someone) - then whoever has this deeded flow rate could be compensated by the state, or a small shoreline town tax, voluntary contribution, or some other subsidy. Then the dam could be closed and if the 4"/month drop rate at 250 cfs is accurate, the lake would have 6"-8" more water in it with all other things being equal...
