Intervenors support Energy Keepers on Flathead Lake levels
As an intervenor on behalf of Flathead Lake in Northwest Montana, the National Organization to Save Flathead Lake (NOSFL) recently commended Energy Keepers, Inc. (EKI), the operators of the Seli'š Ksanka Qlispe' Dam in Polson, Montana, for adapting their management of the lake level in anticipation of a potential drought this summer.
EKI recently filed its report to federal regulators and stated in writing, “… during the spring months, we will manage the lake elevations as part of regional flood risk mitigation to manage runoff, meet Article 56 minimum flow objectives, and refill the Lake (near 2,893 feet) for summer recreation.”
Their latest forecast of inflows and outflows and Flathead Lake level projects that the lake level will be at 2,893 feet for the entire summer recreation season.
