The original stoplog bays were replaced by a concrete ogee spillway, topped with a five-metre high rubber dam. A submerged gate allows operators to draw the reservoir below the ogee crest and a control system allows deflation in response to rising water levels. In winter and early spring rapid ice jam break-ups have historically caused flooding problems at the site.
