road griller Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Are they operating the floodway? The river is crazy high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Are they operating the floodway? The river is crazy high. I havent heard anything on this yet. I believe there are hoops to jump through in operating the floodway to control river levels outside of spring flooding. What year was it, 2006 or 2007 -ish that we had rain all summer and they operated the floodway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What year was it, 2006 or 2007 -ish that we had rain all summer and they operated the floodway? 2010 as iirc. Probably 3-4 more times as well over the last decade or so. The river has been running high for several years now. The erosion must be pretty bad also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The floodway is still empty as of yesterday... The rain is a disappointment... After the horrible winter I was hoping that summer would at least be decent. Zero beach days and its already July... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
