Duke Energy has scheduled FERC required spillway gate testing at the Thorpe Dam on Dec. 5, 2023. The spillway gate testing will only take one day. The testing requires Lake Glenville to be lowered 2-3 feet below the normal target of 90.0 ft. Lowering the lake down to 87.0 – 88.0 ft allows the lake to be below the bottom of the spillway gate and performing a ‘full open’ test without passing any water down the bypass reach.
