I hadn't heard about this but I'm not surprised. When the sluice is wide open and they're generating, there is a wicked back eddy that can draw a boat in if you get too close. The "pond" area below the dam is not safe when the sluice is wide open. I pulled four people out of the water (2 adults and 2 kids) last year when they tried to launch an overloaded canoe during generation with the sluice open.
