HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. – The Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District will increase the spillway release from Greers Ferry Dam at 9 a.m. March 22.
Since water levels downstream of the lake are receding, the increasing channel capacity will allow for five gates to be opened one foot and one gate opened to one-half foot releasing about 3,900 cubic feet per second. Combined with the 24 hour hydropower release, the total release will be about 10,230 c.f.s. Releases may be increased to 10,500 c.f.s. within the next 24 hours if conditions allow.
For more information call the Greers Ferry Project office at 501-362-2416, or stop by the office near the dam on Highway 25, three miles north of Heber Springs.
