-- Flow Release Plans --
Due to a tragic drowning below Remmel Dam on Sunday the Corps and Entergy temporarily stopped all flow to support the search and rescue effort. After the recovery the Corps resumed a flow release of about 2500 CFS which was matched by Carpenter and Remmel.

Later today, the Corps will resume releasing about 10,000 CFS from Blakely Mountain Dam in order to drop Lake Ouachita down out of the flood pool. Lake Ouachita remains about 3 feet up into the flood pool and is dropping nearly six inches per day. We will continue to pass whatever flow we receive from the Corps and local tributaries, the release from Remmel Dam is expected to be about 10,500 CFS. The Corps will re-evaluate the Blakely release on Friday and if conditions are favorable, they may reduce the flow release some for the weekend. There is 1” to 2” of rain in the forecast, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
The Corps is currently releasing about 3,000 CFS from DeGray from about 2 to 8 PM daily.
