Ryan: Thank you for your thoughful and concise posts. It gives me confidence that, when needed, the syphon will prevent a big release down the emergency spillway. I also like the early ordinary flow but the real reason for the installation of the syphon is to protect the spillway and the pond from those huge rains we get here in eastern Kansas from time to time. When we have the right conditions to test the syphon, I will post and bring you and all the other posters on this thread with a "real time" update.
