Just read this in APCO's response to the DEIS:


..." because staff’s conclusions in the DEIS seem to indicate some uncertainty as to what degree recreational, economic, environmental and operational benefits and impacts will be realized by implementation of Alabama Power’s proposed lake level changes, to the extent staff still has those concerns after analyzing these comments, Alabama Power suggests an adaptive management approach to addressing these concerns. Specifically, we suggest an alternative interim implementation proposal.

As an interim measure, Alabama Power would implement and evaluate its proposed higher winter pool elevation of 484 ft msl and conditional fall extension for a period of 10 years following issuance of the new Martin license. This 10-year period of study should provide samples of varied hydrologic conditions (drought, flood, etc.) to further evaluate impacts to both upstream and downstream resources. A 10-year period would also likely include several instances where the criteria for the conditional fall extension would be met so that the study could include analysis of impacts associated with this proposal. "

Might just work.
