Wow! We were considering purchasing property on Lake Martin, but armed with the information that in times of draught, Lake Altoona will remain at normal levels while everything downstream suffers, it looks like we need to pay the great state of Georgia a visit.

I applaud the Govenor's effort. One important point: Lake Allatoona and Carters Lake in Georgia both feed into the Coosa system. Releases form there will not put more water in the Tallapoosa; however, it would help with the need to release water to the Alabama River. Of course, that is provided APCO doesn't mismanage the extra water from the Coosa (as in refill all their Coosa lakes).

From what I have read from the corps letter the total discharge has fallen on the sholders of the Tallapoosa. They stated that the Coosa lakes could not release any more water because then the water level would fall below the turbines and they would not be able to generate electricity.

We need to demand that the winter level be set at 485 feet.

Lakeman,

I think you are exactly correct. With the possible exception of Logan Martin, the water level in the Coosa lakes can only flucuate about 2-3' and still generate electricity. Martin obviously can still generate at 10-plus feet low.
