Good Morning: The rivers at US Northeast 42 / 75 - or
thereabouts!
And it's a full moon.
River Master's 2nd week in November report for reservoir
levels is historical (not current) 11/14
FFMP Fall + supplement releases for Oct. - Nov.
seem to be in effect.
At this time:
Stilesville (Cannonsville) release - Telephone
line has been disconnected as of 11/2.
Now showing 250 at Stilesville (High temp yesterday of 48)
this morning on the USGS charts.
Note that for several months there has been a disparity of
about 50 CFS between the USGS
gage at Stilesville and the
telephone report which was disconnected due to termination
of the
lease at
the end of October (renewable in April 2011 if Al Hazard TU
Chapter signs on again)
Since USGS is responsible for
both reports, I have asked USGS to reconcile this 20%
disparity.
Pepacton
at Downsville - 78 (L1-c = 85 )
Neversink at Neversink - 59 (L1-c = 60)
With the combined contents over 80% - all reservoir
releases should be L1-c
which are C'ville =110; Pep. =85; Nev. =60.
P and N are close,
but C'ville is nearing 250 (L1-b) according
to the Stilesville gage
Salmon River at Pineville today - 530 CFS.
Currently:
Hale Eddy (West Br. below C'ville) 525
cubic feet per second at 5:30 AM;
Hi temp. 45 degs F. on
11/20
Harvard (East branch below Pepacton) - 322
- Temp. 44F
Neversink at Bridgeville - 207

Cooks Falls (Beaverkill) - 648 - No temp. gage
Fishs Eddy: 1300 - Temp. 43
Hancock: on West Br. - 44 degrees high
Lordville - 2390 - Temp. 42
Callicoon: - 2680 - Temp. 42
Montague - 5100
Esopus at Coldbrook - 708 - Temp. 45 F

Release and spill
rates (CFS) at the dams: ODRM Report through 11/14/10
Combined contents of the three Delaware reservoirs at
start of 11/8 was 81.5% (L-1c)
L2 is approx. 40% to approx. 75% range of combined
reservoir capacity at this time.
... as scheduled in the
FFMP Fall October - November release mode thru 11/30.

Master Report for October through 10/31.
The disparity on
established dates between the DEP and USGS for the deluge
which began on 9/30
is due to reporting cutoff dates between the two reporting
systems.
