What do you know about the condition/situation
with the hydroelectric part of the actual dam itself?
Information indicates the increased river level
has put that out of commission.

I have not been able to find any numbers for
how much water could move through there when it is operating.

If you look closely, all that debris/rock has formed essentially a dam at the base of the main spill way, backing water to the power house. When operating, they can put out 15K cfs
