The proposed changes are now reflected in a draft copy o f the manual. A copy of the revised manual will be available for review at the public meeting. As w ith any guidebook, the manual covers typical operations, such as when to draw down and refill the reservoir, how to regulate flows to reduce flood damages and when and how to release excess stored water after a heavy rain. As such, it is important to have accurate and up to date information. Water releases for irrigation were not covered in the original manual and are not included in this update.

The Willow Creek Lake and Dam project was designed to protect the city of Heppner from experiencing another flood event such as the one that occurred in 1903.
