River flow to go up for Hoopa ceremony
The executive director of the Trinity River Restoration Program announces that there will be a release of a peak flow of 2,650 cubic feet per second on the Trinity River below Lewiston Dam beginning on Sunday, Aug. 23, as requested by the Hoopa Valley Tribe.
The purpose of the release is to supply sufficient water to assist the Hoopa Valley Tribe with the ceremonial Boat Dance that occurs every other year.
The higher release will begin at 8 a m. Aug. 23, raising flows gradually from the summer base flow of 450 cfs to a peak of 2,650 cfs by midnight. Beginning Aug. 25, the flows will be gradually reduced back to 450 cfs by 8 p.m. on Aug. 27.
The release schedule is based on ramping rates that protect the public and in-river fish and wildlife populations.
For more information, contact restoration program Executive Director Mike A. Hamman at 623-1800 or mhamman@usbr.gov.
