I mentioned this in an earlier thread, but it is worth repeating.

Obtain a copy of the July "Lake Magazine". There is an excelent article which sumarizes the study/analysis conducted on the future of Lake Martin and various recommendations. (Article Title: "$3.4 Billion and Growing" and is on page 34)

This study was initiated and paid for by a coalition of Lake Martin organizations. I believe the study has been provided to Alabama Power to use in their future relicence with FERC. (???)

The article discusses a proposal to increase the number of days when the Level of Lake Martin is kept at full pool by 62 percent. It would stretch the full pool period from April 1st to Oct. 15th. Currently Alabama Power maintains a full pool from May through August. (with exception like now and other recent years - LOL)

Some of the above maybe a personal assumption, so read the article and form your view. There are many issues discussed to include future developments, property values, economics for the area, and etc.

I would also recommend eveyone join and support any one or all of the various Lake Martin organizations supporting the Lake whether it be LMRA, HOBOs, and others. This way your views can be expressed. Discussing it on this Forum might be interesting, but it will not change or influence anything
