we're on the same page. When someone post a comment on the forum it is read by many people with varying backgrounds and knowledge levels. To better answer your post, I explained further my earlier post to help clarify the situation for all.

Remember, in December 2006, APCo took the lake down to 478'+, because that's what they had always done and they didn't know that they would not be able to raise the lake to 490'--if they had been at 485' the lake would have filled even though the drought still happened. To exacerbate the problem the Corps continued to dredge the Alabama River and demanded more water from Martin to float the dredge and away we went to 475'. Hopefully, we've learned a few lessons--like raise the winter level and always be prepared for a drought.

BTW, the Corps was dredging so that one wood pellet plant could ship by barge on the Alabama--the pellet plant filed bankruptcy the next year, so all was wasted.

Learn from the Boy Scouts -- Be Prepared.
