yes gradual . ..in the sense they won't open every damn gate at once . ..but they will make sure the pressure on the front side of the spillway ensures that as each gate is opened, the power of the torrent flowing through will create a dynamic flow pushing the possibility of silting and sedimentation deeper (and MOST importantly) broader into the basin.

Who gives a damn....any sediment buildup will NOT stop the water from flowing thru it. If anything, the water will cut trenches thru the sediment and eventually wash it away.
It is NOT the reason they are waiting. THey are waiting because of all teh slackers that didn't heed the warnings. They will open it slow anyway to allow all the wildlife to escape and reach higher ground. We are in the middle of spring i.e offspring.
