locally released norepinephrine binds to alpha 1 receptors in arterioles to restrict blood flow and generally to increase blood pressure.
Friday (9/9). Spillway gates will be opened at 10 a.m. Monday (9/12) to release 1,000 cubic feet per second through the spillway, which runs from the lake to the Lackawaxen River. The release rate will be increased gradually to 2,000 cubic feet per second, and held at that level.
There are 159 miles of open waterways in the Addicks Reservoir watershed, including Langham Creek and its major tributaries, such as South Mayde Creek (U101-00-00), Bear Creek (U102-00-00) and Horsepen Creek (U106-00-00). When this effort is complete, revised FIRMs for the Addicks Reservoir watershed will be produced based on 1-foot contour interval (rather than on 2-foot contour interval topographic maps) and based on 2008 Land Use data (rather than on 2001 Land Use data). 2  The draft revised FIRMs are under review by FEMA.
