Riley blames Corps, asks for relief

Gov. Bob Riley wrote to Army Secretary Pete Geren on Monday asking the Corps both to release more water from a federal reservoir in Georgia and to allow Alabama Power Co. to release less water from the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin.

Riley said although the Corps' reservoir operation manual for Lake Allatoona indicates that the minimum water releases from that reservoir should have been much greater during the last six months, despite Alabama suffering its worst drought in 100 years, the Corps has maintained that lake at a level that the manual describes as reflecting normal to wet conditions.

He asked that beside allowing more water to be released from Lake Allatoona, that Alabama be allowed to release less water from its reservoirs in the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin to avoid crashing the Alabama Power reservoir system and undermining the power grid, as its lakes are falling to all-time low levels.
