I for one am not a fan of going the route of getting a tree hugger involved because once the pay attention to one aspect of out lake next thing you know it will be multiple others.

I know a handfull of the LMLPA are paying attention to this forum this year and I would like to suggest an angle that may be easy to gather data on.

LMLPA has a few volunteers around the lake that monitor the water (toxic levels maybe) - Is there an abnormal rise in any of the toxic levels when boat traffic rises and the water level is below 463 compared to when the level is above? If there is that may be the leverage we need to force the water to stay above 463 year around.

APCO shoreline management is highly aware of the toxins deep in the sedement and will go to great lengths to make sure that any seawall or such is monitored to reduce any unnecessary runnoff and proper removal of any unneeded dirt taken from the lake.

I have had a crappy day and am probably rambling so I hope someone out there can make heads or tails of what I am trying to make a point about. I may read this in the morning and clarify a few things then.
