I agree that we should probably keep the feds as far away from our lake as possible. Witness the cluster that is now shoreline permitting (the Corps of Engineers is now involved and permits are taking forever to get processed).

I think we're on the right track and we stay the course. We've made a LOT of noise this year. I guarantee that this will resonate as APCO gets into their water management planning for next year.

The FERC adjustment to throttle Jordan was a huge win. Mike Riley with the LMLPA is passionate about lake levels, and has done a great job. I guarantee that while he is at the helm, this issue will continue to be at the forefront of LMLPA's agenda.

We've got to be vocal, and continuously be vocal. Join LMLPA. Come to the meetings. APCO will be there on July 19. Let them hear us, loud, clear, and repeatedly. The squeaky wheel gets oil, for sure.

And sound off on their Facebook page. They do pay attention to it, and they do react to feedback on that forum. www.facebook.com/alabamapower

Three Alabama Power representatives were at LakeFest last weekend, talking to vendors and local business people about the lake and lake levels. It seems like they've heard our rumblings, and are paying attention. They've even backtracked a bit on the "no summer pool" statement from earlier: http://www.dailyhome.com/view/full_story/18609568/article-APC-trying-to-preserve-water-to-fill-lakes?instance=home_news

There's my 2 cents. I appreciate the dialogue.
