Special Statement
Statement as of 12:31 PM AKDT on June 28, 2015
...Glacial dam release has concluded...
Water levels on the Mendenhall Lake and River will continue to
fall.
At 1030 am...Mendenhall Lake crested at 7.5 feet. As of 1215
PM...Mendenhall Lake is at 7.3 feet. Bankfull is 8.0 feet. The
water level is expected to lower through tonight.
This will be the final statement issued for this event.
- 1200: .03" of Rainfall to this point
today.
- 1150: Cloudy with breaks, variable sunshine
in-and-out and here-and-there.

- 0850: Cloudy, some very slight - slight breaks
in the NW part of the sky, some ribbons,
clouds, bits and wisps around the mainland
mountains.
- 0826: (Posted here at 1245): NWS: Glacial dam
draining into Mendenhall Lake.
826 am akdt sun Jun 28 2015
...Glacial dam draining into Mendenhall Lake...
Rising Mendenhall Lake level trends over the last 24 hours
coupled with the lack of any substantial rainfall during the last
18 hours indicate a glacial dam release into the lake. There are
a number of basins including Suicide within the Mendenhall
Glacier from which the release may occur. At this time the source
of the release is not known. Thus there are many uncertainties
regarding rising lake levels which include volume of water and
peak water levels. At this point it is reasonable to expect
continued rises on the lake as well as the Mendenhall River
through the day as the drain continues. At 715 am Sunday
morning...the lake gauge had risen to 7.2 feet and was rising at
a rate of one foot every eight hours. There is a fair possibility
that the lake and river will reach bankfull this afternoon and
possibly rise higher tonight.
Lake and river levels will continue to be monitored throughout
the day and information will be released as more is learned.

- "The discovery of the polyomavirus SV40, as well as its
introduction as a pathogen into the human
population, was tied to the development and
worldwide distribution of early forms of
the polio vaccine. Inactivated (Salk) and
early live attenuated (Sabin) forms of polio
vaccines were inadvertently contaminated
with SV40. In addition, different adenovirus
vaccines distributed to some U.S. military
personnel from 1961 to 1965 also contained
SV40. The viral contamination occurred because
these early vaccines were prepared in primary
cultures of kidney cells derived from rhesus
monkeys, which are often naturally infected
with SV40. Infectious SV40 survived the vaccine
inactivation treatments, and conservative
estimates indicate that up to 30 million
people (children and adults) in the United
States may have been exposed to live SV40
from 1955 through 1963 when administered
potentially contaminated polio vaccines.
Millions of people worldwide were also potentially
exposed to SV40 because contaminated polio
vaccines were distributed and used in many
countries. These data led the Institute of
Medicine to conclude that “the biological
evidence is of moderate strength that SV40
exposure from the polio vaccine is related
to SV40 infection in humans”. Do an internet
search for polio vaccine and simian virus
for more information not in the paper.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 3:24 PM AKDT on June 04, 2015
...Significant rises possible on area rivers and streams Saturday night...
With the first of two significant rain events nearly over...area
rivers have responded with only modest increases in stage. The
very dry ground from record dry weather this past may has allowed
most if not all rainfall to either infiltrate down or become
absorbed by vegetation rather than become runoff.
Additionally...close coordination with the river forecast center
and adjustments to watershed models to account for a lack of
higher elevation snow pack has resulted in diminished forecast
stage levels for the major rivers and streams. In summary, some
minor rises over area streams and rivers will occur Thursday
night.
Looking forward...the potential of heavier rainfall Saturday
night with the next system will cause the ground to approach
saturation so rises in the Chilkat, the Taiya, the Situk are
forecast...but are expected to remain at or below action stage. In
the Juneau area...Montana and Jordan creeks will be faster to
respond to moderate to heavy rainfall. These systems
are...however...also forecast to remain at or below action stage
at this time.
- 1500: .11" of Rainfall to this point

- 0548 ADT: NWS: Glacier Dam Release into Mendenhall
Lake Ending.
JUNEAU BOROUGH AND NORTHERN ADMIRALTY ISLAND-
INCLUDING THE CITY OF...JUNEAU
NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 5:48 AM AKDT on June 03, 2015
...Glacier dam release into Mendenhall Lake ending...
The Glacier dam release of Suicide Basin which drains into
Mendenhall Lake and River has ended for this event. Due to the
rapid influx of water the Mendenhall Lake crested at 7.6 feet at
1130 PM Tuesday night. It has since fallen below 7 feet and is
continuing to recede quickly. Flood stage for the lake is 9.0
feet. Overall the lake level rose 3 feet since Saturday. Water
levels will remain high in the lake and Mendenhall River through
Wednesday however they are expected to continue to fall through
the day.
The Suicide Basin will remain under careful observation to see if
it refills for another release later this summer.
This will be the final statement for this event.
Bezenek
- When the Bank Secrecy Act was enacted in 1970
to counter the Mafia (and wrongly held up
by the U.S. Supreme Court, it WAS challenged
on constitutional grounds), the amount of
$10,000 was specified in the law (and in
a later amendment $5,000 transactions could
be cause for Suspicious Activity Reports).
If the law was properly updated to take into
account inflation, the amount would be some
$100,000 today. In 1970 our full size (huge)
station wagon was a bit over $5,000, the
equivalent today... $40,000 to 50,000. You
can't even buy half of most cars for $10,000
today. The State Office Building in Juneau
cost $12 million dollars in 1974 but would
cost at least 10 times that today. But...
the powers that be in government want the
noose on the American people to be drawn
ever tighter because they want power and
control. "You are all guilty until YOU
prove yourself innocent."

...LOW IMPACT GLACIER DAM RELEASE ONGOING ALONG THE MENDENHALL
RIVER...
THE GLACIER DAMMED LAKE IN SUICIDE BASIN RELEASED ON SUNDAY AND
HAS BEEN SPILLING INTO THE MENDENHALL LAKE AND RIVER FOR THE PAST
2 DAYS. THE MENDENHALL LAKE AND RIVER HAS RISEN ABOUT 2 FEET AND
IT IS CURRENTLY JUST UNDER 7 FEET ON THE USGS LAKE GAUGE. THE
FORECAST CREST IS 8.7 FEET AROUND 10 AM WEDNESDAY WHICH IS JUST
BELOW MINOR FLOOD STAGE OF 9.0 FEET. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF

MEANS THERE IS MORE ROOM FOR WATER IN THE BASIN AT LOWER LEVELS.
