PG&E will be performing the annual valve test on Wednesday November 17th this year on the McCloud River. This is the big butterfly valve (that leaks water) and generates a BIG pulse of water downstream during the test.
From PG&E …..
The outlet will release a peak discharge of approximately 2,000 cfs during the exercise that we are required to do. The pulse will maintain a ramp up and down according to the license requirements as not to strand fish by design.
