I continue to be amazed at the logic of some on this forum. To post a comment that the Corp of Engineers is responsible for the majority of the shift in water level on Smith Lake is beyond logic.

I'm glad to see a number of members of this forum refute comments of this type. I hope tthat APC is listening to the folks on Smith Lake and is considering that this is not a fight by a few individuals who have been labeled as Developers but an uprising by the populous on Smith Lake and the counties of Walker, Winston, and Cullman.

TVA was comfortabale with the impoundment systems at the Kingston Plant for years. Now that millions of gallons of sludge has been released, there exists a major environmental release with thousands of acres being condemned. What is APC planning to do at its coal fired plants like Gorgas? Will they continue to do only that that is required (as with cooling towers at Gorgas) and continue to wait on agencies such as FERC to prod them for change.

I suspect that battle plans are already being formulated by the various environmental and government agencies (including TVA) for legislation to prevent occurences of this magnitude in the future. Even TVA is very sensitive to local governments and public opinion. Should county and city governments in the areas surrounging Smith Lake be more vocal?
