Spring Releases

Posted on March 15, 2012 by rickb

We are fairly sure that the first official release from the Quemahoning Reservoir will be on May 5 and 6.  The release will start at 7.  The water should reach Faustwell bridge around 10 AM.  Boaters should put on between 10 AM and 2 PM.  Note: if the Stony is flowing less than 730 CFS at Ferndale, we should get a full 500 CFS release.  Any more and the release will be reduced to achieve a maximum 1310 CFS flow at Ferndale.  The next release after this will be on May 18, 19, and 20.
