proposed to have a continuous release over the spillway at the Eau
Galle Dam from April 1 to November 15 with no release during the
remaining period (November 16 through March 31). The exemptee stated
that the purpose of not releasing any water over the spillway during
the winter months is to prevent the deterioration of the downstream
concrete buttresses due to the freezing and thawing of spilled water.
The crest of the dam is 757.0 feet mean sea level (MSL). The
exemptee proposed to operate the hydroelectric project, from November
16 through March 31, at a reservoir water surface elevation no lower
than 756.6 feet MSL (or approximately five inches below the crest of
the spillway).
