Hi Rusty,

Well stated.

I agree that we still need to get bigger numbers into the matrix.

Certainly May needs improvement.

April yo yos between 1500 and 110 are no good for the river.

Even the L2 minimum release of 80 for most of the winter, needs a boost.

I think that as NYC sees these improvements implemented one at a time, they will see it can be done safely.

As long as we keep chipping away, it is forward progress.

I hope that just the pressure of a lawsuit will help the process, as an actual suit will delay action for years and we may be forced back to Revision 1.

As you say, progress is being made, and I hope that it continues forward.

One thing that could help is to make graduated releases when the reservoir is spilling. Instead of the big jump to 1500, perhaps 500, 1000, 1500 (or some combo) depending on the level of the reservoir and spill amount. This will save cold water and help to lessen the yo-yo. This may also allow for more water to be used at a later time.
