i live a mile from the lake, and its SUX how it is.. you barley can enjoy it with a boat, you have to watch for the bottom, stumps, rocks, etc now.. no wakeboarding, unless you deal with wakes, and if you fall, you face the danger of hitting the bottom!

they really need to do somethign!!!

its funny how many boats are sitting 20 feet from the water in dirt.. lol

[§treet_§peed]

check this right.. people say animals first i say those phucers can survive without our help after alll they have been here way longer than us so they will be good.. i don't kno how long i and many others could survive with pepole who rarlely take showers anyways not even having a cance to take on at all.. STINKKy FAT ASSES FTL..

You know the property owners at Lanke Oconee are loving this. One is Lake Oconee will never go dry(Unless we go into some sort of mega thousand year drought). The reason is Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair provide the water for a Nuclear Powerplant in South Georgia. It's why it always stays full. They wanted to release a lot of water a while ago to save a woodpecker or something like that. But the Nuclear Scientists looked at the enviromentalists and basically said that without this water the nuclear reactor will go your bird will die anyways.

So for the Lake Oconee people(Which is where everyone is moving to now who wants a lake house) their property value is going to skyrocket even higher.

I also don't think Lanier is going to go go dry to the point that you have nothing but the Chattahoochie runing through it. But to a point where the dam can't use the water to make power or take up water. Just let the hooch flow I think.

[itsjustdee]

i wonder how many dead bodies are in lake lanier or how many cars...lol

[Stormhammer]

this made me lol

[Jimmy B]

dee, you REALLY dont want to know.. especially if you ever swim in there.. i do at least a few times a week in the summer, and everytime it crosses my mind, i dont stay in the watter to long.. lol
and try not to fall on the wakeboard eather!!

This problem has nothing to do with mussles, gulf Sturgeon or any other living species. Florida has been fighting in court for 10+ years to get GA to increse water flow on the hooch. They lost every case they brought before the court until they used the endangered species defense. Due to federal law GA was required to supply the river system with more water. They used the mussles and gulf sturgeon as an excuse.

They needed the higher water level to float barges farther up river and to supply a power plant just below lake seminole with more water. They did not want to invest the money to extend the water intake pipes for the coal burning power plant. They just figure out a way to raise the water and not spend the milions of dollors on the upgrades.

This is not a new issue but Florida finally won the battle. Everyone blames the Corps of Engineers but they have their hands tied by federal law. The environmentalists are the real bad guys here. This problem also affects Lake West Point as well. Hopefully they will pull the exemption on car washes and shut them down during this crisis. What people aren't talking about is the long term affects this will have a Lanier. The water level has been lower then this before by almost 5 feet. The difference is we did not have the processed water being dumped into Lanier. At some point in the near future the ratio of clean water to processed water will no longer be safe to drink. Depending on how long this lasts this ratio will only get worse.

The environmentalists say we can lose the Surgeon or mussles which really have not use as far as food goes. What about the damage this low water will do the fish in Lake Lanier and West Point? During the last drought the largemouth bass population took a big hurting because it spawning habitat was high and dry. Now we have even lower water levels and the increase polution into the lake. Nobody can say what is going to happen to any of the fih species inthe lake. Again this was never aobut the endangered species, they were just the means of for Florida to get what they want.

holy **** heres the fish theyre trying to save

I live on Oconee. But like I said the water is a little down right now. I don't want Lanier people on the lake, because they actually live on the lake, whereas over 50% of the ppl on oconee visit their lake houses once every few months, so the lake is always empty.

[Crazy Asian]

i heard there's a abandoned town in the middle of lake lanier. Sounds freaky.

lol in a week or so we can probably walk across the lake to it LOL

[Stormhammer]

yup, before the engineer corp built lake lanier and filled it there used to be a lake, town was disbanded, lake was built and filled ( FYI - lake lanier is man made )

[Crazy Asian]

DUDE RANDOM WE SOHULD SO DO IT!!!

[Jimmy B]

i heard there's a abandoned town in the middle of lake lanier. Sounds freaky.

accually there are 3 towns, remember in the 30', 40's towns were alot smaller than they are now..

there is still buildings, town hall, stop signs, even the high school staium is still up.

all they did was relocate the cemetery, and agbout 30-75 feet from where the lake was "slated to stop" they cust and buldozed trees.

[§treet_§peed]

actually that fish a a GNAR and they are in lake lanier they eat meat

[§treet_§peed]

did you know that 99x has a **** the mussels campaign going on right now?

This is an urban legend. When the lake was built all wooden structures were torn down. There are very few buildings that remain at the bottom of Lanier. There is no football stadium at the bottom of this lake. Any tree that would stand higher then 30 feet from full pool was cut down to the 30 ft mark. There is still entire forests under the water. You can still find a few trees that stand above the water line. For some reason they left a cluster of trees out int he front of Young Deer creek that should be right at the surface now. All of the towns that were in the flood zone were very small. Cumming and Gainesville would of been where the high schools were. Another urban legend is the movie theatre at the bottom of the lake. Also there is no catfish the size of a VW in this lake either.

uh huh!!!

i caught one

damn. u sure do know your g'ville history

[NEONRACER]

lol I heard this story growing up on the lake. You always hear of someone hooking into one of these fish then losing it in the "trees" by the damn. Funny thing is when they built the lake all of the trees within sight of the damn were cut down. lol

[SL65AMG]

Why is that? I've lost my brain cells from countless hangovers and other things. Lol

the water cycle

[§treet_§peed]

how the **** does any of us know this to be true? somebody gotta have some old timer in the family that was around when lake lanier was built and actually saw the area. go ask them.

[Stormhammer]

^^^ because its all documented Grant lol

[pure insanity]

documents can all be forged up or just simply lied on. there has been way to many stories about all the stuff that is still down there for some of it not to be true.

The beauty to a conpsiracy theory is you can't ever debunk it becuase to prove so is nothing more than another conspiracy theory.

But the story of Catfish the size of Cars at the bottom of the dam is impossible. The problem is at the bottom of the dam there is no/very little oxygen in the water. Which means for a fish the size of a car that would require a vast amounts of oxygen there is none. Plus very little life down there period for a catfish to feed on.

I drove over Lake Lanier the other day. Yeah it's down but not to the degree everyone fears. I don't see a day where we see a big pit and nothing but the chattahoochie flowing. Though from my perspective that would be cool because I heard years ago there was good kayaking down there.

We made the big news... the lake looks pathetic. : (

apparently no one on Barrett parkway knows what waterban means. Last night i drive past starbucks. Sprinklers on blast. then drive past Kaufman tire going home from walmart, Sprinklers on blast. And i cant use a bucket of water to wash my car

Dude there was nothing but very small towns and farms in the area at the time. Everything made of wood is gone, they tore them down to re use the lumber. You still have foundations and brick structures since they could not float to the surface later. You can still find a few road beds and old damns for ponds.

This lake is not going to dry up, there is still plenty of water in the lake. If the lake continues to fall at the current treand in 90 days the lake will be down 44 feet. It will not fall to this level but this is just an example. There is still plenty of water as deep as 130+ feet right now so you will still have 100+ feet of water in much of the lake.

The damage is the level at which the damn cannot make power and at what level the processed water ratio gets out of hand. It is not going to dry up. Although it is getting to the point where we can no longer hold tournaments on the lake. There is a lot of other things to consider with the low water level. Marinas losing money, parks losing money, homeowners losing money. Boat prices are dropping and sales are ****. Guides will no longer be able to operate their business. The effects of this disaster reach further then people think.

A local business owner on the lake said that business is down $20,000 from last year. Nobody wants to come and see the mud.

well we could all get drunk and take a piss in lake lanier

[On_Her_Face]
