    Is it true? Was there another fish kill on the river by the plant? I heard they had a shutdown, but I thought it had something to do with security. How many years ago did the samething happen?

    Not sure about the fish…but I did read that there was an unplanned shutdown due to turbine issues. They have had a few unplanned shutdowns this year already but I suspect its these winter shutdowns that are tough on the fish.

    bummer if its true.

    Just heard from a buddy who stopped by Gander and a clerk there said he was just back from Monticello and dead fish were everywhere, he never got a bit. We were there Monday and Friday and the big fish were feeding.

    Does anyone know if the plant is up and running again?

    Looks like it is just coming back online after being taken offline on 11/21. Here is the power output as a % of capacity for the last few days.

    12/8: 0%
    12/9: 2%
    12/10: 15%
    12/11: 40%
    12/12: 96%
