Coirps of Engineers seeks public input on Draft Environmental Impact Statement for its updated Master Water Control Manual for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has filed the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for its updated Master Water Control Manual for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin and is now looking for public comment on the plan.
The Master Water Control Manual is the guide used by Corps of Engineers to operate the five reservoirs on the Chattahoochee River – which impacts residents from North Georgia to the Apalachicola Bay.
The updated manual includes updates to account for a 2011 federal court decision allowing Lake Lanier to supply drinking water for the Atlanta area.
The public will have 60 days to comment updated Master Water Control Manual.
The updated manual can be downloaded – we’ve posted the link on this story at oysterradio.com and on the Oyster Radio facebook page.
There will also be a number of public meetings on the updated Master Water Control Manual where you can also make public comments.
The closest to our area will be on Monday, November 9th at the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research reserve Nature Center at 08 Island Drive in Eastpoint.
