The Lower East Branch is in desperate need of more water.
The West Branch is receiving all of the directed releases for Montague.
Pepacton is at 83.3 %.
Cannonsville is at 67%.
Seems like there is not a better time to help the East Branch by transferring a portion of the directed release to Pepacton and the East Branch.
Of course, increasing the minimum release on the East Branch side in the FFMP tables should also be considered. Under the old Rev 7, Pepacton summer releases were sometimes 190 cfs just to keep the Harvard target at 175 cfs. Advocating for a minimum summer Pepacton release of 190 -200 cfs should be a priority.
