Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is also advising residents, cabin owners and travelers that due to recent mild temperatures and snowmelt, the company may be required to release water in the below-noted locations. Releases may begin at any time in the coming days.

• Star Lake area of central Newfoundland at the Star Lake Spillway into Star Brook and then Beothuk Lake  
• Burnt Pond and White Bear River area of central and southern Newfoundland at the Burnt Dam Spillway.
• Granite Canal area accessed from central Newfoundland at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure or at the Granite Overflow Dykes along Burnt Dam access road into Grey River. Releases at the overflow dykes may wash out the road to Burnt Dam, located 15.5 km from the Granite turn-off.

People are advised to use these areas with great caution as water levels and flows will be higher than normal and may be unpredictable.
