from what I just read of that local article and other sources..

1) water is being released from the smaller resevoirs to meet the fish requirements
2) they have enough storage to do this for 7 days (well 4-5 now)
3_ that article said if they can’t get the power plant back online after 7 days they will have to use the main spillway again
4) I’m not sure how much debris they have to remove to prevent backup but 1.5 million cubic yards is estimated washing in and they removed 60,000 so far
5) if they use the main spillway it will dump more debris back into the channel

translation: they have more 5 days to remove enough debris or maybe start over
