I've read the present license. I know how the process worked last time and I know, first hand, how the process now works. My information comes from direct involvement with the Alabama Power Company in its relicensing efforts. This is the first time in the history of this lake, my friend, that FERC is requiring Alabama Power to get input from ALL stakeholders in developing the application for its new license. And the license spells out the lake level curves.

At the time of the previous licensing APC worked only with the Corps and a few of the largest entities. This time the Corps is only ONE of many stakeholder organizations that will submit input to the license application. Other stakeholder organizations include, but are not limited to, Alabama Fish & Wildlife, Lake Watch of Lake Martin, CALM, and LMRA.

At the time of the previous license barge traffic on the Alabama River, way down south in this state, was significant. There aren't nearly as many barges working down there now. Since the previous license this lake has had much development and has become a significant recreational attraction. Lake Harris (Wedowee) didn't exist. Its construction has changed things, concerning flood control, drastically. That is one of the main reasons that the Alabama Power Company is interested in having the new license application include a higher winter pool level. Other reasons should be obvious even to you.

You would be better informed if you became active in a lake organization. Sitting on the couch and playing with your mouse hasn't taught you what you need to know if you are going to be a positive factor in protecting this lake or influencing the relicensing process. You won't listen to me and I won't bother trying to educate you further..... :).
