I beg to differ. If Lay isnt a reservoir why exactly was a dam built in order to "reserve" water behind it?

I understand that Logan Martin is the main flood control lake on the coosa due to the surrounding terrain and Ive also heard the arguement that Lay must be held high due to Gaston Steam Plant which also doesnt "hold water" because Gaston was built previous to Lay being raised in the 60s.The lower levels of the Steam Plant are now below water level and the intakes come out of the floor of the basement level there. Ive spent some time there.

Also last year Logan Martin was held for several weeks at 3 feet below full pool. Couldnt
it have just as easily been held 2 or 1 foot below full pool? Possibly at full pool?

Another question, If Logan Martin is a reservoir as you say, then why not maintain it at a higher level in the event that this reserve is required?

I think you answered the question in your responce. Property prices are the answer. Money equals influence!
