Was just curious as to what percent of the lake storage is drawn down in a day at full generation?

Full generation turbine Release is 11936 cubic feet/sec.

Lake volume is 1,622,000 acre feet.

11936 foot^3 = 0.274012855831038 acre foot
                 (volume)                   each second.

86,400 seconds in a day,   so 23,674 acre foot/day.

so draw down is  23,674/1,622,000    or  1.5% total lake volume per day.
