hut no destructive flooding is expected. Texas Sa-
nine River Authority spokesmen said foday,
in fact, the river should be reflecting a slight
drop, according to Sam Forse Collins, administra-
tion supervisor for the Toledo Bend Project Joint
Operation office here.
The high water is probably most apparent near
Deweyville. Residents there had expressed concern
at the continued high water level.
The river there should-show a slight decrease
continuine into next week, he said, depending on
local rainfall below the dam.
The heavy river flow was caused by the release
I ofa rerord 2 7 111 ubie feet ner second (cfs) as the
newlake surged over its normnl cpactymark.
I he ncak release came June 3 as the lake
i reached 177.96 feet e’evation. Normal maximum is
1 172 feet. Regulating gates in the dam’s spillway
have.clnsed the.flow to 20 onn cfs and a gradual
diminishing to 15,...... cfs is anticipated by the week-
end. Collins said.
The lake now is about 172.26 feet
This compares to a compulsory minimum re- )
lease flow of about 3,000 efs for this time of v
according to TSR.\ regulations.
"We are trying to get back to the 172-foot level
and maintain it there,” he said. "We plan to re-
lease only enough water to balane the inflow.
