TVA WATER RELEASE THIS WEEK

in light of recent events on the news w'Jre have checked into the schedule. they will be spilling water from the dam 24 hours a day til next Saturday.  the water is not being spilled over the dam. the spillway opens  upwards so the water why be drafted from about 15-20 feet below surface .  they will be spilling roughly 1700 cfm down the upper . the good news is that kayaker's will have a rare opportunity to paddle a section  usually not regulated water flow. IT IS DANGEROUS UP THERE EXPERT ONLY!!!!!!!!.  the temperature of the water spilling is about the temp  of what is coming out of the generators normally. starting  at 4 p.m.  till  6 a.m. every day they will be running one generator. also in the event that temp starts climbing , a generator can be running within 15 minutes . this maintenance  is necessary as the intake pipe in the lake has became jammed with jogs one has recently slipped through and broke the flow doors a couple weeks ago  it was the Sunday the river had to turn be off.  the river will be monitored to watch temp. as of now it looks like the river will not be impacted as bad as first thought.
