CORPS CLAIMS TO DISCUSS CHANGES FROM DROUGHT PLAN WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS???

I recently heard a rumor that Lake Hartwell was being dropped sacrificially so Thurmond would have more water for the upcoming national fishing tournament.  So I took a look at the Corps declarations on what the lake levels should be and then current data on where they actually are. The declarations page says Hartwell should be at 652.7 and Thurmond at 322.7 which would be a perfect balance. However the actual level at Anderson is 652.1 and at Plum Branch is 322.7.  Surely the Corps consulted with Lake Hartwell stakeholders before allowing this deviation from true balance??
