	The response I received is that floating debris was observed
when the dam was at "high pool", and the local Operations Branch plans to
clear the debris from the tunnel soon.

	FYI, this dam is instrumented and remotely monitored.  Here
are some interesting Web pages:

http://www.spl.usace.army.mil/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/zinger/goes_cmd_last.cgi?mojv+720+line

	I suspect that the last URL tracks in real-time (perhaps
updated daily), but if you look at it within the next few days you
should still be able to see the changes in the dam's water level due
to last month's heavy rains.

	Now if we had, say, an RSS feed for this data, and a database
for the path and elevation of the PCT near the dam, we could have a
process issue an alert whenever the PCT was inundated in the vicinity
of the dam!
