See link below for latest news on the variance approval by FERC to raise the winter level of Lake Martin. Many thanks to all those HOBOs who wrote to FERC in support of APCo's variance request.

483,don`t mean nothing, if they need the water they will take it They said 490 ft. in the past what is it now? Does that tell you anything Genus. Floating a boat is not the purpose of the inpoundment. When will you people understand that? It`s a crap shoot.

Do we still have to have a lot of rain to do this, or will the flow reduction by itself be enough?

Flow reduction helps hold what we have, but we've got to have rain to see the level rise. This approval is the first ever (I believe) increase in winter level from the 480' mark.

Way to go Jesse and HOBOs! And despite plenty of nay-sayers (some on this Forum), this happened because of hard work by a lot of people. Of course it remains to be seen whether the rain-gods will smile on us next spring, but for now this is great news.
