From email from Reclamation (Susan Novak Behery):
January 17, 2024
At 3:00 PM on January 29th (Monday), the release at Navajo Dam will be transferred to the 4×4 Auxiliary outlet, where the release will be reduced to 250 cfs. The minimum release will accommodate instream work for the Turley Manzanares Ditch Company Diversion Dam Rehabilitation Project. The release will be transferred back to the power plant and increased back to its current level of 350 cfs at 8:00 AM the following morning, January 30th, 2024 (Tuesday). You may expect some silt and discoloration downstream in the river during this time due to the location of the intake of the 4×4.
This scheduled operation is subject to changes in river flows and weather conditions. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Behery (sbehery@usbr.gov or 970-385-6560), or visit Reclamation’s Navajo Dam website at https://www.usbr.gov/uc/water/crsp/cs/nvd.html
