You are correct, Logan Martin was built for two reasons, flood control and power generation. I am fairly sure APCO does not flood Logan to spite the land owners. I was informed on this forum that Lay is considered a Run of the River, not a Reservoir. There is also Gaston Steam Plant to be considered, if at all possible APCO will not allow it to be flooded. The damage to the steam plant would be unbelievable if it were to flood, I know, I worked in that plant many times in my career.

I still remember an article concerning work at Neely Henry this spring but for the life of me I cant find it again else I would post the link.

Fact is, this flood was minor compared to others I have seen. I don't like it when it floods but I accepted the fact several years ago that it will and I watch the posted elevations closely so as to take care of what needs to be done if the lake begins to rise or, for that matter, fall.

We have new neighbors next door and this was their first flood. Being retired I am able to drive up and let them know what is going on and did so this time. Its a learning experience, dealing with the flooding, and we have to help one another out during such times.

Last years late full pool irritated the heck out of me and I stated so on this forum. If memory serves me correctly the LMPA had a great hand in communicating with the powers that be and the lake was allowed to come to full pool. It is my intent this year to pay dues and join but living on a pension will dictate when I do. I appreciate all the LMPA has done.

Wishing you all well and have a great Summer.
