    Default Barren?


    Ok I have been wandering something maybe someone can answer for me. Why is barren still 15+ feet above summer pool? When the other lakes the aoc controls has been down to summerpool for some time now. Anyone know the reasoning in this?

    There are lots of farmland downstream and the Corps try to protect the crops,Nolin,Greenriver lake and barren all empty together,Barren has had lots of rain upsteam after the flood also.

    Yeah, like rowdy said they can't drain as much water for fear of flooding everyone downstream. Only dropping 4 to 6" a day and still getting a few frog stranglers to limit their success.

    I talked to a water patrol officer and he
    said until they get green river down lower than
    usual to do some work on the dam
    they can't draw barren any harder than
    they are. I too thought that it may have
    been the crop down at stream thing because
    they did receive alot of complaints this
    year on flooding but he said it was because
    of green and ruff river lake was their concern

    The Corps did not buy easements downstream of BRL for flooding. The Green river and Barren both were still running high and muddy as of last saturday in the Warren Co area.
