Have you ever noticed that? The water from generation and the cave springs is clear but not sluice for some reason... Construction?



Taken from top of the Dam while sluice and generator was running.

Travis,
It is my understanding (which isnt a whole lot by the way) that it has to do with the level in the lake of where the sluice water comes from. I believe that is mid-lake level water and that is why it is that color. I believe I heard it explained that way.

Now there was a time that I think there was some grout leaking into the river but the Corps and construction company both said it wasnt true. The Corps was even kind enough to test the water to see if it contained grout and it did not. The only problem was they tested the water right by the dam and the grout was coming into the river in the stream below the campground. I dont know what that chalky looking stuff coating the river banks was. Thank you Corps I feel much better now.
