We have to maintain the winter pool lake level at 262.0 feet (one foot below normal pool hight of 263.0) for flood control purposes. Water going to the WMA is just a bonus in this situation. Normal pool level of 263.0 runs from March 15th to November 15th. We generally let the lake start to fill back up at the beginning of March so that it will be at full pool by March 15th. We were planing to start a debris removal project out of Palarm Creek (below the dam) this Monday. But because we received 3 inches of rain, we ha to discharge water from the lake. Once the lake gets back down to 262.0, work will begin. While the heavy equipment is down in the Palarm Creek drainage, we will not be able to discharge water from the lake. So you may observe the lake level be higher than 262.0 until this work is completed.
