Hi GH, While 325 is certainly better than 260 from June 15 - August 15th, what about May and the rest of summer when the release from FFMP is still 260 but Rev 1 drops to 45 cfs? Pepacton summer release of 70 under Rev 1 instead of 140 under FFMP. I think we all agree that we need more water...

Hi Agust, Deferring the vote I think allows for Revision 1 to take over October 1st. A possible option would be to extend the interim FFMP for a period of time. It may actually extend on its own, if no vote is taken. I will try to check on it. Personally, I would prefer to extend the...

Just to be clear so that you can form your own opinion: These are minimum releases Cannonsville May release Rev 1 = 45 FFMP = 215 Cannonsville June release Rev 1 = 45 1st to 15th and then 325 FFMP = 260 Cannonsville July release Rev 1 = 325 FFMP = 260 Cannonsville August release...

Hi Fred, PPL does not release more or less water than in previous years. PPL has lake level targets tht they need to obey. Those targets have changed only in timing and not total quantity. They still need to be at the same lake elevation on September 1st. Jim

Hi Brachy, You are just wrong about the consistant Montague releases. They were no different then as now. There is just variation from year to year. There were so many years that we begged for water in June when the release was only 45 cfs. Jim

Hi, Rev 1 - which everyone hated by the and one of the reasons we all tried to get something better. Cannonsville Release: June 15 - August 15 = 325 cfs minimum Cannonsville Release: The rest of the summer and year = 33 or 45 cfs minimum Pepacton Release: June 15 - August 15 = 70 cfs...

Hi All, My position has never changed. Get as much water for the ecological benefit of the rivers. FFMP provides a mechanism to do that. There are two separate issues. First, How much water can you get? Second, How to best distribute that water over four rivers and 365 days? FFMP solves...

There was discussion with Fish and Wildlife service at the SEF meeting concerning the DWM. They are going to consider a flow target at Callicoon to protect the DWM. I do not think it will be a high enough target to do much good for anything concerned. A Lordville target would be better to...

Hi Agust, I for one do not believe that the FFMP should be voted down. Clearly, FFMP has some advantages over Rev 7 and Rev 7 has some advantages over FFMP. Either will work if they are given more water. That has been the battle all along. Everyone that has said that does not present or...

Hi Fred, All good stuff. Jim

Hi, What bothers me with all the negative talk about FFMP is that there is no alternative suggestion given. FFMP can be significantly improved without much modification. It just needs more water to be made available to it. Tihs has been the ongoing constraint to any system that has been in...
