Lake Harding; VERY IMPORTANT meeting for all residents of Lake Harding. Please read the message from the president of the Lake Harding Association followed by the meeting agenda.
To: LHA Members
From: LHA Board
... Dear Members,
As you know Georgia Power Company (GPC) is currently re-licensing our lake with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). During this re-licensing FERC has the power to change how GPC operates the lake. The Lake Harding Homeowners Association's primary concern is the water level and thus the value of our property. The board has been in contact with many of the involved parties (stakeholders), and we are concerned that a coalition of up river interest are trying to convince FERC to include Lake Harding in drought management plan. For multiple reasons the federal reservoirs must release 40,000 gallons a second from Lake Seminole into the Apalachicola River Basin, and this burden falls on Lakes Lanier, West Point, George (Eufaula), Seminole and Flint River. The upriver stakeholders want us to share in their misery with this mandate. We contend as the LHA that our lake is privately owned and operated, has no reserve capacity by design and was built to produce electricity. GPC has asked FERC to renew the current license with no changes.
LHA would like to thank the Chattahoochee River Wardens (Chattahoocheeriverwarden.org) for their help in producing this fact sheet. They are a valuable resource for the association. Please take the time to read the following information and feel free to share it with your non-member neighbors. Please encourage your non-member neighbors to join the LHA to help us support the groups that support us.
Thank you
Dr. Donald C. Neal
President LHA
