You are right about the Corps. Brain fart there. I have been in favor of the 5ft draw down for quite a while now. Actually anticipating it was one of the deciding factors in purchasing the place I have. At 485 I will have year round water. But it won't be 40 years till the chance comes round again. I agree the current rule is over 40 years old, but re-licensing happens every 15 years I think (it may be 20), and that is when such issues are addressed. DARE Park is a result of the last re-licensing. APCO was informed they had to provide more public recreation facilities at that time.

But it seems a little crazy to be wasting time and resources to try to get a change to 485 this year, when we can't even maintain at 480. It is no secret that I am about the only person here who thinks APCO has done a good job with what they had to work with this year. I still chuckle when I see folks who are CLUELESS as to how the waterways are managed, but come here, and anywhere else they can get someone to listen, and complain.
