I think Chris Craft is staunch supporter of a (much) lower winter pool level for LM. If you go back and read a thread from almost exactly this time last year entitled "watch the water level over the next several days" you will see what I mean. It doesn't make him right or wrong--just one person's opinion, like yours and mine. I personally think that a higher level will be beneficial for the lake area in the long run, and I think APCO can manage these (heavy rain) situations appropriately, just like they did last year at this time. However, we do know there is very little they can do under extreme drought conditions. Regardless of what either of us think, FERC has mandated that this is what the winter water level will be until the next licensing term comes around.
I do have to add that I find it a bit ironic that a person whose user ID is synonymous with very large, expensive boats would be advocating for a much lower lake water level. But hey, to each thier own.
