Reservoir Elevation), which will place water on the radial gates. Reservoir operations will not be adjusted to accommodate construction schedules or work access, so the following restrictions shall apply:

1. Wire rope replacement and sheave assembly rehabilitation shall be performed on one gate at a time, such that at least 2 gates are fully operational at all times.

2. If after installation the lowering ropes on a particular gate require additional adjustment, and if the reservoir level exceeds or is anticipated to exceed the spillway crest elevation, the COR will direct all rope replacement work to cease until the reservoir level subsides or a Modification is issued to mitigate the safety hazards associated with the re-adjustment procedure.
