As opening day nears you Esopus types will want to know about the long-overdue work on the Portal and Schoharie reservoir.
DEP Announces Two Month Shutdown of Shandaken Tunnel for Preliminary Work on Intake Chamber
The fixes to the Portal will be good for flows in terms of temperature and clarity. (The latter has been noticeably worse last few years.)
There is another factor, though. There is a plan, not sure how far along it is, to do conservation releases from Schoharie at the Gilboa dam. The question is, will there be enough water to do all these things?
