Please take 3 minutes to possibly affect Lake Martin for the next 40 years

We only have 12 days left to positively affect Lake Martin for the next 40 years.  FeRC has provided a method to comment to them and let them know that we favor the 7 foot winter pool and the extended full pool into October.  It only takes 3 minutes!  Do you have 180 seconds to help?  Please do this before August 13th.

Here's how to eComment to FeRC:

1. Go to this website by clicking on this link:  FeRC eComment Site

or copying this address and pasting it in your browser:

http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp

2.  Click on the orange button at the top that says "eComment does not require registration, click here to proceed"

3.  Fill out your information and click Authorize.  It will send you a link to the email address you typed in.

4.  Go to your email account and click on the link it provides

5.  Select the project by searching for Lake Martin's project number:   P-349-173

6.  Once you search it will offer Lake Martin as a result.  Select it.

7.  Type your comments in the white box.  Feel free to use the comment below, just copy and paste in the white box.

I am in full support of Alabama Power's draft eIS for the Martin Relicensing project.  In particular, I support:

Dropping the winter water down only 7 feet as opposed to 10, and extending the summer pool level to October 15, conditions permitting.

I think the economic benefits are tremendous and will benefit thousands, and I am confidant that Alabama Power has done the research to prove the potentials for below the dam flooding, in an already existing flood zone, are minimal.

8.  Submit it.  That's it!  You will receive a confirmation email from FeRC

What else can you do?

1. Ask your spouse and all non-minor family members to comment.  Remember, you don't have to be a property owner to be a stakeholder.

2.  Forward this email to any and all other family and friends that love Lake Martin.

3.  Ask them all to file comments ASAP, certainly before August 12.

It only takes 3 minutes and this affects your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren!
