Green Mountain release change from Kara Lamb

6/14/2012

We have begun our weekly coordination calls for reservoir operations across the
upper Colorado River basin. Flows in the Colorado River are rapidly declining, as
most of you know.

As a result, we are upping releases from Green Mountain to the Lower Blue today in
two phases. By late this afternoon, we'll be releasing 150 cfs.
The road across the dam has also reopened as the bridge work is nearly complete.

Project, please visit our webpage: www.usbr.gov/gp/ecao. If you have additional
questions, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone.

Best,
Kara
