I'm in agreement with Chris' comments. I have one comment regarding Item #1: "....continuing to operate a float gage that will automatically stop the turbine(s) if the reservoir level drops below the crest of the dam so that water can immediately spill over the dam. " DWR used to use the word "instantaneously". (We used 4 hours to fill/spill at some projects as the definition of R -O -R.) I'm not sure if there's a dime's worth of difference between that and "immediately", but it doesn't seem possible to immediately spill when the project kicks off. Perhaps we should use a timeframe, such as 1 hour, for the pond to fill/spill. (I'm unclear how much water continues to flow through the water room when the project does kick off.) They may object to this word, and I wouldn't want to set them up for failure.

The changes look fine to me and are significant improvement. I'll make the changes and issue as long as Fred or Bryan don't object to dropping the gage installation.
