Deadline nears for ACF water control manual comments

The deadline to comment on proposed changes to the master water control manual for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin is coming up soon.

The public has until January the 14^th to comment on the manual which spells out how water from the river system is managed.

The public comment period was reopened in October because of a 2011 court ruling that allows Lake Lanier to be used for drinking water for the City of Atlanta.

Before the change occurs, the Corps has to update its water control manuals, so this is the time for the public to comment on the proposed changes and to detail any impacts they feel the changes will have to the area and the fishing industry.

Comments can be submitted online through January 14th.
