BurningChrome Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Just saw this posted to Facebook from AESRD: http://esrd.alberta.ca/focus/esrd-2013-flood-recovery-programs/documents/GhostLakeOpenHouse-Jun12-2014.pdf There's no info at all that I can find, but anything that changes at the Ghost dam will likely also have downstream impacts on the Bow.

BBBrownie Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The Government of Alberta entered an agreement with Transalta to keep the level of Ghost Reservoir low during the runoff season in order to provide some buffering capacity in case of flooding. It doesn't say there will be downstream impacts on the Bow, it says there may be impacts on flood mitigation. The impacts it is referring to is slightly higher water levels on the Bow while construction on flood mitigation measures is occurring - ie. water level to high to have equipment working in stream. Once the risk of flood has passed, it will be back to the power generation business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
