2009 Whitewater Schedule

Please be aware of Current River Conditions

All releases are subject to lake level conditions. 


·                    Deep Creek Hydro will be operating under the 2007 permit for this and many future Whitewater seasons. The Whitewater season has been expanded under the 2007 permit and should allow for an enhanced and enjoyable season for all.  Further details are outlined in the permit table below. 

 

·                    All releases are dependent on lake levels.

 

·                    Whitewater releases may be a constant flow for duration of time, variable flow for duration of time, or a combination of both.  These releases will be dependent on existing river and energy market conditions.

 

·                    Please note the schedule and be aware that release times and dates are not consistent from month to month.

 

·                    Please check the generator status information or call (877-816-7466) for up-to-date release information.  The status information will be updated to show release duration times.

 

·                    Occasional non-scheduled releases do occur.
