I'm glad that terms like Rule Curve, Gorgas, etc. are etched in your memory and a few others on this forum who were satisfied with the Status Quo prior to two years ago. Did the opposition to the permitting process with FERC result in change?

Some of the commentators on the forum remind me of the situation prior to the November election. Attempts were made to define members of the Tea Party as un American, Racists, etc. because they wanted change. Don't rock the boat - Be satisfied with what you have - don't dare take off the blinders - this is not our lake - We might pis% off APC and they would not let us use their lake - FERC will not listen to the little guy.

Without the efforts of a few with a deep interest in the quality of life on Smith lake, we would have seen water levels of 494 feet or less and several property owners would have easy access to shorelines. They might also enjoy seeing the pretty stumps in the water and might consider the development of obstacle courses for our grand kids while the water is at 496 in August to see if they could navigate the stump fields. Never mind that they might have been maimed or killed. How dare we ask a major utility to consider a cooling sources other than the deep waters of Smith lake.

I still submit that water level control for the period 10/20 thru 11/30 of this year was fantastic. Look at the blown up portion of the curve for this period and it is practically flat. Something changed! What?
