A few people mentioned earlier in the summer that Alabama Power had requested that winter pool level be changed to 462, but at that time, no one knew if it would be approved or not.

Has anyone heard if this will be the new level, or will we go back down to 460?

I was at the last LMLPA meeting and the AP rep stated that they had applied for license to change the winter level to 462 but did not know when or if it would be approved.

Talked with APCO about the faster than normal drawdown.  The response I go was nothing out of the ordinary going on with Logan Martin, they are following the curve down for the normal drawdown. It may just seem fast since rains and resulting flows allowed us to keep it pretty much full during the latter part of the summer though September.  As far as a temporary winter pool vaiance, there are no plans for one this year. Current climate predictions are for a normal to wetter winter period. Of course, APCO always watch weather conditions and adjust as they can in cooperation with the Corps of Engineers and other regulatory agencies.

I hope that answers your question.
