will maintain operation. at 2:00 p.m. yesterday we estimated they were discharging at about 2600 cubic feet per second, and barker about 2100 cps. combined about 4700. we are continuing to raise the bunkers in a controlled fashion. these discharge rates as of yesterday were 3800 cps and 3500 cps respectfully for a combined total of discharge of 7300 cps. the goals to reach reach rates of 4,000 cps at both areas for combined discharge of 8,000 cps. we estimate the dams will combine today. no decisions have been made to raise this amount.
today through the remainder of the tropical event at about 9 inches. this estimate is down from the previous estimate of august 27 of 25 inches. the corps of engineers from there yesterday. intended to maintain the ability to control to the extent of possible before uncontrolled releases would begin. additionally, controlled releases reduce the magnitude of the duration of uncontrollable releases, potentially decreasing the impacts of flooding. there is an expectation of uncontrollable leaking. spillway flows just begin at the low natural ground at the end of the spillway when it reaches 10. that elevation for barker is 10. at the rates of rising barker, it is unlikely barker spillway
