According to Tri Dam License Compliance Coordinator, Susan Larson, "Tri-Dam anticipates that the reservoir will be drawn down to the 5-year
levels, so that the gates at the dam can be fully exercised (opened and
closed) and inspected, as required."
This insepction process is something that needs to be accomplished at approximate five year intervals. The draw down is anticipated to occur in January/February. According to Susan "as soon as Tri-Dam receives the approved draw-down schedule from the
Bureau of Reclamation, we are planning to send it out to as wide a
notification list as possible."
The Copper Gazette will also notify residents of Copper as soon as notification is released.
