The new colonel stated he is an advocate for lake interests. Our congressman in both SC and GA claim to be advocates as well. But we are on the verge of another disaster for lake levels and all that entails. The Corps is doggedly following the plan that has reeked disastrous results for our recreational infrastructure repeatedly over the past 10 to 15 years. And our congressmen sit idly by while we go into this madness once more.
Apparently the thinking is we are not in trouble until the lakes drop 10ft or more. It is true that actual destruction to our recreational infrastructure doesn't occur till then. But once you drop more than 2' and continue with releases from Thurmond above 3600cfs a drop of over 10ft will occur repeatedly in our current weather pattern. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION. NOT AFTER THE LAKES ARE DOWN APPROACHING 10FT BELOW FULL POOL. Matter of fact action to prevent disastrous lake levels has to occur well before the lakes drop to the levels we are at now.
