    HARTWELL, Ga. - Water rushes through 12 spillway gates at the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' Hartwell Dam in the early morning hours of July 9, 2013.
The Corps activated the spillway gates to release excess water after heavy
rainfall the night before caused the reservoir to reach its maximum flood
storage capacity of 665 feet per mean sea level. During peak discharge, the
Corps released 74,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water through the
Hartwell Dam. This amount includes 32,000 cfs passing through the five
turbines (for hydropower generation) and 42,000 cfs passing through 12
spillway gates. Other than routine spillway gate tests, it was the first
time the spillway gates had been opened at the Hartwell Dam since Aug. 18,
1994. The only other occasion was on March 8, 1964. Photo by Doug Young.
