Jim Beal Quotations

It affects them a lot more than they want to admit it does.

We're trying to keep the river right at its capacity, right at flood stage at Monroe.

We would not have had the ability to regulate these flows, we would have been in real trouble. The downstream impacts would have been much more severe than they are at present.

We don't think we're going to damage anything.

So we're certainly concerned. We're watching the situation closely, but at the present time the system's functioning as it's designed and we're being reasonably successful in managing flows.
