Using our reservoirs to control flooding is just a by-product,” Flint said. He said the Ogden River should peak within the next two weeks and the WeberRiver early in June. “The thing about the Ogden River,” said Flint, “is that it comesall at once, then stops. It’s sort oflike flushinga toilet.” The WeberRiver snowmelt comesoff slower and takes longer, which makesit easier to control, Flint said. The dangerisn’t the same as the spring rampage that inundated North Dakota but the potential for flood damageisstill real, said Richard Brookins, Ogden’s emergency flooding coordinator. He’s particularly concerned aboutthe potential damage the Ogden Rivercould cause. Although the river’s maximum flow is believed to be 1,600 cubic feet per second, anything over 1,200 cfs causes some flooding problems,particularly if logs and flowing right at 1,200 cfs.
