Sorry guys, but I've been silent too long. AP is not to blame. I believe you will find that the Corp of Engineers regulates the winter and summer pool levels. They have been petitioned to raise the winter pool to 463. If what I have heard is true, the corp said they would consider it AFTER the recertification of the damn. I have no idea when that may be.
As far as the statement that the lake was full pool 4 weeks this summer is untrue. I live on the lake full time and I disagree. I won't get into a pi**ing contest but am aware of the levels everyday. It was full pool, ok just shy of it by inches, until just a few weeks ago. If you look at rainfall totals for the eastern part of the state and Northern Georgia, you will find we have not had much rain. That directly impacts the lake levels.
Having lived on the lake full time for 8 years and off and on for over 30, I find it funny when people complain about the levels. If one buys property on the lake without due diligence on their part, reseaching lake levels etc., shame on you and you shouldn't complain. Move where there is no flucuation in the levels like Lay Lake. I love my lake and no I don't like it when the lake is low and I sure as hell don't like it when it floods. But I live with it. The ones who complain when the lake is low, just wait til it's 8 feet over full pool. I'm sure you will blame Alabama Power for that also. Love it or leave it.
