In 2004 (not 2003) there was a flooding event after two major rains. One in November and the other in December. The water levels were Nov. 1 = 499.2 (almost 500'), Nov. 30 = 507.0, Dec. 6 = 508.4, and peaking on Dec. 12 = 518.0 feet. The greatest rise rate was 9.6 feet over six days. At least for that significant rainy period, the lake started out at almost 500' and the peak was well below the 522' line. I doubt maintaining the lake at 500' causes a significant flooding concern.
