As pointed out by Carnac in an earlier post and confirmed again today at the Martin Relicensing meeting, the Alabama Power Company has no plans to request waivers from FERC to adjust winter drawdown level. There will be no change in the flood control guideline until 2013 (if then).

I can vouch for APCo's position. Don't really understand the position or reasoning (it appears they may be afraid to ask FERC for a temporary approval), but they said they will only include any change in the re-licensing application to be submitted in 2011 and effective in 2013.

You could be right au67, but I wouldn’t bet on it. I don’t think we will see a change this next winter, but with another couple of years of low water, watch the Lake Martin pressure put on the FERC. Don’t forget the FERC is a federal agency. ANY federal agency is subject to pressure from congressmen and powerful contributors to political parties. Lake Martin has enjoyed a fairly stable water level for a lot of years and therefore has never had to organize to fight the system.
Now I know LTL doesn’t believe anything will change, but I use as an example the group of homeowners on Smith Lake mentioned in the last link. Alabama Power says one thing but is it not strange that since this Smith Lake organization has been applying pressure, the actions of Alabama Power doesn’t seem to match their words. As I stated several months ago, Smith Lake is historically lowered 14 feet, but if you look at their water level charts you will see that their lake has been down less than 8 feet every day of 2007. If you don’t believe pressure from the right people doesn’t count, just ask Coach Shula. Just my opinion. Only time will tell.
