What changes will come from the new water level rule curve?

You'll still have to spend money to prove that you don't need flood insurance

We don't know yet. FeRC was supposed to have filed their Draft environmental Assessment by Oct 8, but they are still working on it. The eA will give us FeRC's idea of what the Rule Curve should be. After they file then all the special interests will have an opportunity to comment, file suit in opposition , etc. The wonderful Corp of engineers has already asked that implementation be delayed till they update their 50year old operating manual, so the process could turn into a mess. Let's hope for the best. APCo requested a seven foot drawdown in the winter, and some, maybe, maybe plan for a fall extension of the summer pool. The HOBOs requested a five foot drawdown and an extensil of summer pool till Oct 15. Hopefully, the final rule curve will be somewhere in the middle. Oh, and GA ePD has stuck their noses into the process also. FYI, the Coosa Relicensing process is six years past due with no end in sight.

I don't think anyone knows for sure. My understanding is that they will request 483' as the new winter pool. A lot of commenters wanted the draw down to start later in the fall and the filling to begin earlier. No idea whether that will be incorporated into the new permit but it would be nice.
