A continuous minimum flow of 45 cfs or inflow, whichever is less, is passed into the bypassed reach. The minimum flow comprises 30 cfs at the spillway and 15 cfs of leakage flow from the upper powerhouse. Project operation ceases when inflow falls below the project’s minimum hydraulic capacity and all flow is passed via a minimum flow weir 3 and/or over the project spillway. From 2010 to 2020, the project generated an average of 27,865 megawatt-hours annually. m.
