Roosevelt at full pool; Coulee Dam still dumping water

RESERVOIRS — The level of Lake Roosevelt was inches below the full pool elevation of 1,290 feet today.  All boat ramps are in the water and life is good for reservoir goers.

For the next week, Lake Roosevelt will continue to be operated in the 1289-1290 range, the Bureau of Reclamation says.  Spill over the drumgates is expected to cease within the next week.

For the beginning of August the lake is expected to begin drafting gradually to meet the Biological Opinion level of 1280 by the end of August.
