In that case, it would have been out of APC's hands; the water doesn't get much higher than 490 before it starts spilling over the top of the dam.

What they probably would have done had the lake been at 489 is done a lot of releasing in the days before the storm got here, just in case.

(And then they would have prayed that the storm DID hit and dump a lot of water on the area; otherwise they would have lowered the lake for no reason, which would have upset of bunch of people on lakemartin.com, and of course they exist only to please those people. ;-) )
