State officials expect the
Sanctuary Pointe mega-development to get the green light from
the South Carolina Budget and
Control Board in January.
A needed vote on the project
was on the agenda of the board’s
December 12 meeting, but the
meeting was adjourned before
the vote was taken.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engi- and Control Board approves the
neers gave its blessing to the proj- sublease, which will be between
ect on November 26, according to the development corporation
and the state, parks agency and
Corps spokesman Billy Birdwell.
Birdwell said that on that day the corporation can begin the dethe Corps of Engineers provided velopment phase outlined in the
agreement, Birdwell said.
The 325-acre tract lies near Exit
1 on Interstate 85, on the Tugaloo
River branch of the lake.
Details of the development
plan that have been revealed call
for a hotel and conference center, a restaurant, golf courses
and cabins, courtesy slips and a
resort harbor area. The development site has about three miles
of shoreline.
The original plan called for a
marina with 300 slips, but a marina is not in the agreement the
Corps of Engineers has approved.
One stipulation of the agreement outlined in the corps’ consent, according to Birdwell, is
that if Sanctuary Pointe LLC
wishes to provide marina services the corporation may do so only
through a separate agreement
with an existing marina operator
on Hartwell Lake.
“The Savannah District must
review and approve any such
agreement,” Birdwell said. “Any
proposed agreement will also be
subject to the existing marina
operator’s lease with the government.”
Because the corps owns the
lake and its shoreline, developers and the state must work out
agreements before setting up
docks or long-term boat storage.
In December 2010, Larry Rich,
operator of Harbor Light Marina
and a then 13-year leaseholder
from the corps, expressed his concerns about the possible harm
the proposed marina could have
on his business. The cove at the

Therapeutic Tubs
Georgia resident Deryl Odom, of
Augusta, ministers to the spiritual and physical needs of people in his home town and
across five states. As a pastor, Odom serves
the congregation of Salem Baptist Church in
Lincolnton, near Augusta. He extends that
ministry through his business, Therapeutic
Tubs of Augusta, LLC. “The reason I like
the tub business is I can extend my ministry by going into homes and evaluating the
needs of senior citizens,” Odom said. His
tub business serves clients in Georgia, Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee, North Carolina,
and South Carolina. In his therapeutic tub
business, Odom sells walk-in bathtubs and
showers manufactured for safety, comfort,
convenience, and enjoyment for those who
are elderly, seniors, disabled or physically
unable to bathe in a standard bathtub. He
offers nine styles of tubs to fit a variety of
needs. “I have wheelchair accessible tubs
as well as walk-ins,” he said. “We know
it’s expensive to go into a nursing home or
an assisted living facility and these tubs allow people to stay in their homes longer.”
One out of three adults falls each year, according to Odom. He said his tubs can help prevent
most of those falls. “I like to think of these
tubs, with all the features, as a medical piece
of equipment,” Odom said. “Let us transform your current bathroom into a more useable and comfort safety zone for your bathing
and relaxing enjoyment. Our team of experts
will assist you in choosing just the right tub
that will work best for you. We offer a full
line of soaker tubs, whirlpool tubs, air jet
tubs and combination tubs with total access
for easy bathing experiences. Our work is
fully guaranteed and our product line carries
one of the best warranties in the industry.”
“When I evaluate a client, I consider their
financial and future needs before making a
recommendation,” Odom said. There is no
charge for Odom’s evaluation and he stands
behind his work. “The tub shell, seal and
frame on the tub are guaranteed for life.
After completing each evaluation and if
the customer is pleased with Odom’s recommendation, crews install the tubs in existing bathrooms, transforming an unsafe
space into a more useable, comfortable one.”
“Our goal is to provide you with the best
product at a fair price. A satisfied customer is our greatest asset. We will strive
to live up to, and exceed your expectations
by closely working with you on your bathroom remodeling project,” Odom said.
Odom sells tubs from several manufacturers and is an authorized dealer for HydroDimensions. Through HydroDimensions, Odom said he is pleased to offer tubs
made in the United States and he feels good
about that partnership. “I offer a quality product for a fair price.” He also feels
good about the benefits of his tubs. “People
can benefit from water therapy, air therapy, chromotherapy, and aromatherapy.”
“Give us a call today and we will be glad
to go over all the options available to
transform your current bathroom into
a truly modern bathing environment.”

Corps looks at lake level, new Keowee deal could help Hartwell
By RAY CHANDLER
OCONEE COUNTY – Boat docks sitting
on mud flats or dry land have become common scenery around Hartwell Lake and
some residents have questioned whether
they still live in waterfront homes, but U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers officials have
said recently that everything possible is
being done to keep the lake levels up.
Meanwhile, developments upstream
could mean that in the most severe drought
scenarios more water will be available
from Lake Keowee to bolster Hartwell
Lake’s falling levels.
Jeff Lineberger, Duke Energy’s director of hydro strategy and licensing, said
on December 20 that part of a new lake
use agreement Duke will negotiate with
the Corps would allow the reduction of
Lake Keowee an additional 5 feet from its
now minimum established operating level
of 795 feet above mean sea level. Full pool
for Lake Keowee is 800 feet above mean sea
level.
Duke, according to Lineberger, is prepared to make the projected millions of
dollars of new investment in the cooling
water intake of the Oconee Nuclear Station to enable the plant to safely operate at
the lower lake level. The plan. Lineberger
said, is part of an overall revamping of
the company’s lake management plan that
takes into account the new realities of
dealing with prolonged drought conditions
in the Savannah River Basin.
The proposal will be part of the draft
agreement submitted as part of Duke Energy’s relicensing application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for
the entire Keowee-Toxaway hydroelectric
project, which includes the Bad Creek Reservoir, Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee,
all of which ultimately feed into Hartwell
Lake. Duke Energy’s license for the Keowee-Toxaway project expires in 2016.
Over 700 residents of communities
around Lake Keowee have signed a petition opposing the new minimum lake level, but Lineberger and other Duke officials
say that even in the worst case scenario,
Drought Level 4, that the lake would only
be below 795 feet mean sea level about 0.4
percent of the time.
What is most important, they say, is that
in that worst case scenario, more water
will be available for the downstream flow
that keeps Hartwell Lake’s level as high as
possible.
In October, as Hartwell Lake’s level
fell toward 14 feet below full pool and a
Drought Level 3 condition, completion of
an impact study by the Corps of Engineers
allowed reduction of the outflow to Lake
Thurmond to 3,100 cubic feet per second
once the level fell to 16 feet below the 660
feet above mean sea level full pool.
Col. Jeff Hall of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers said he had initially made an informal request to reduce the flow from its
earlier 3,800 cubic feet per second to 3,600
cubic feet per second.
The corps has been discharging water
from the lake system, which includes lakes
Thurmond and Russell, at about 3,800 cubic feet per second since October 2011.
Normally, discharges would be at 4,000 cubic feet per second, but Hall authorized the
Hall has authorized that outflows remain
at 3,800 cfs until the reservoirs recover to
within four feet of full.
According to National Weather Service
lower amount because of dry conditions
predicted for that winter.
Corps officials are looking to winter
rains to refill Hartwell Lake and, according to Hall, have modified the usual release
procedure to facilitate the refilling.
Typically, the Corps increases outflows
as the reservoirs refill. Based on increasingly dry winters, however, in recent years,
predictions, the chances are 66 percent
that the upper Savannah River Basin will
have average or better than average rainfall over the winter months.
Hydrologists with the Corps of Engineers and state agencies point to increased
dryness in the soil and vegetation as impeding the normal amount of runoff that
could be expected to end up in the lake.

On February 1, Duane Parrish, director of the parks department, said a lease
agreement between his agency and the developers was close to completion, subject
to corps approval.
Bringing the developers, the state and
the corps together to make the Sanctuary

arduous task, Parrish said, but he expects
the result will be worth it. He described

Rich said at the time that he had no problem with development installing day- or
overnight-use docks but objected to longterm, leased storage space for boats.
He said he would consider
that a violation of his own
lease agreement with the
corps, which involves two
marina properties on 43 acres
of leased corps land, enough

Drought response thick
through winter
By JESSICA SIBLEY
CLEMSON – For the scads of attendees
at the Lake Hartwell Association’s annual
meeting in October, the news of a serious
drought was nothing new.
However, it was uplifting to many when
Col. Jeff Hall from the Army Corp of Engineers spoke at the podium about a plan
that would overturn the drought concerns.
“I understand that the federal government
is in control over what is done with our
lake levels, but it’s up to the people to keep
pushing our legislatures to turn those
mandates around and start saving our
backyards,” said Cindy Pueller, Anderson
resident.
Hall agreed, as he spoke about Lake Hartwell being 20 inches below normal levels
for the last year and a half, which is blamed
for the ‘Drought 3 Response’ effort that is
now in place. Instead of releasing upwards
of 4,000 cubic feet per second, as part of
the reservoir system with lakes Thurmond
and Russell, Hartwell is averaging about
3,500 cubic feet per second.
A small victory, as Hall told visitors that
the Corp was given clearance to slow those
releases even further, to 3,100 cubic feet per
second, if it hit 16 feet below full pond.

CURRAHEE CLUB RANKED AMONG
“BEST RESIDENTIAL GOLF COURSES”
IN AMERICA BY GOLFWEEK MAGAZINE
The stunning mountain golf
course at Currahee Club (www.curraheeclub.com) in north Georgia has been
recognized as the #62 Best Residential
Course in the United States and #3 Best in
Georgia, according to Golfweek magazine’s
annual ranking that was released this fall.
Designed by acclaimed architect, Jim
Fazio, the golf course is the centerpiece
of Currahee Club, an award-winning and
breathtaking 1,200-acre community framed
by both Lake Hartwell and the foothills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just a short
drive to the historic town of Toccoa, Ga.
Currahee’s golf course debuted in 2004
and earned a coveted spot on Golfweek’s
“Best New Courses” list for the two-year
period from 2004-2005. Its ranking had Currahee sharing the spotlight in the Top 12
with such other elite courses as Bandon
Trails, Forest Creek Golf Club and Trump
National.
Located just 90 minutes north from Atlanta, the 7,500-yard Currahee Club golf
course gracefully weaves through the community, at times offering dramatic elevation changes and majestic, near 100-mile
views across Lake Hartwell and the Blue
Ridge mountains.
“We are thrilled with the national-class
recognition gained from Golfweek magazine,” says Currahee Club managing director, Andrew Ward. “Their evaluation
certainly matches the view of our club
members, who are generous with their
praise of the architectural pedigree and
pristine course conditioning they encounter daily.”
Golfweek magazine annually releases a
series of golf course rankings, including
Best Classic Course, Best Modern Course
and Best Resort Course. In compiling these
lists, Golfweek has distinguished itself from
other publications in terms of the depth of
dents and members at Currahee Club enjoy
a perfect blend of golf, mountain, lake and
club. And an extensive collection of amenities, including a 48,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, will
be complemented by a comprehensive new
Amenity Center Campus currently under
construction and set to open in May 2013.
The new center will offer an infinity edge
swimming pool, grand lawn, tennis courts,
a sports club and grill, community garden,
playground and more. Residential offerings
at Currahee Club are varied and include
beautiful mountain Manor homes and
charming Cotswold-style cottages. Homes
range in price from $300,000 to over$1 million. Currahee Club is part of the Arendale
Hospitality portfolio of properties.

HYPOTHERMIA CAN KILL YOU
and other survivors.
Try to board a raft or floating platform as
soon as possible to shorten the immersion
time. Body heat is lost many times faster
in water than in the air. Since the effectiveness of the insulation worn is seriously
reduced by being water soaked, it is important to be shielded from the wind to avoid
a wind-chill effect. If able to climb aboard
a survival craft. Use a canvas or tarpaulin
as a shield from the cold. Huddling close to
other occupants in the craft will also conserve body heat.
3.
If unable to get to get out of the water, unnecessary swimming will pump out any
warm water between the body and the layers of clothing and will increase the rate
of body-heat loss. Float as still as possible
with legs together, elbows close to your side
and arms folded across the front of your
life jacket. Try to keep your head and neck
out of the water. Another heat conserving
position is to huddle closely to others in the
water making as much body contact as possible.
4.
Keep a positive attitude about your survival
and rescue. This will extend your survival
time until rescue comes. A will to live does
make a difference.
Hopefully you will never have to use any of the
above techniques.
Added note. My last article concerning joining
the US Coast Guard Auxiliary yielded 3 new potential members to our Flotilla 25. We will have
a boating safely display set up at the Greenville
Boat Show (Jan. 24 to 27, 2013). Stop by our booth

Many of us still boat on the water during the winter months. However, whether fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or pleasure boating, we
all must be particularly cautious while on the
water. First of all water traffic is significantly
reduced and assistance from another boater may
not be readily available.
The surface water temperature in our Upstate lakes (Hartwell, Keowee, & Jocassee) drops
to the low to mid- 50s. The water temperature
in our smaller lakes and streams drops even
lower. Should one fall overboard the danger of
hypothermia (loss of body heat) is significantly
increased during these colder weather months.
For example a person in water temperature of
50 to 60 degrees F. will suffer exhaustion or unconsciousness in 1 to 2 hours and has an expected
time of survival of 1 to 6 hours. In water temperature of 40 to 50 degrees F. those times reduce
to 30 to 60 minutes and 1 to 3 hours respectively.
During the cold weather months you should
wear a life jacket (this should always be done).
Ensure you have a whistle fastened to that life
jacket and never be on the water alone.
In the event you fall or get ejected into the water here are some water survival techniques:
1.
Immediately upon entering the water, become oriented to the surrounding area. Try
to locate your sinking boat, floating objects,

Fishing forecast for January, February, and March 2013
By PRESTON HARDEN
Professional Guide, Lake Hartwell
www.bucktailguideservice.com
Photo of Dan Kelly and his catch in December 2012.
Winter fishing on Lake Hartwell
can be good if the weather cooperates. We
are blessed with a mild climate compared to
most of the country. Stripers, crappie, and
bass are active on most winter days. Stripers are easy to find by looking for seagulls
and loons. They move up the lake and into
creeks. They follow the baitfish to shallow
water.
Plan to go on calm mild days, especially after a warming trend. Use small baits that
mimic thread fin shad. Trolling umbrella
rigs will also catch winter fish. Bass will
still eat in cold weather. Crappie bite even
on the coldest days with tiny jigs and small
minnows. Fish for crappie in major creeks,
around docks over 20 feet of water. Try to
get tiny jigs or minnows in the shade of the
docks.

Be careful with low lake levels, as there are navigation
hazards that are not marked.
Wear a life jacket when the
water is cold because hypothermia can set in within a
minute. Even a good swimmer will become numb and
unable to swim within a few
seconds. Even with a life jacket, have a plan to get back in
the boat with wet clothes on.
By March, as the days get
warmer, most fish moved
close to the bank. The shallow water warms fastest. The
best times are afternoons.
Throw small baitfish imitations close to the banks in the creeks. Fish
the windblown banks. This is my favorite
month of the year.

First Quality Manufacturing Corporation
Comes to Lake Hartwell
Anderson Regional Water is a primary
partner in assisting the Anderson County
Economic Development Office in recruiting new businesses to the service area. As
new jobs are created, more citizens move
into the service area and become water
customers to one of 14 member water
agencies. In the case of large industrial
customers, the water supply is one of the
primary factors in the relocation decision.
For industrial water customers, water supply is examined from many angles: quantity available, reliability, water quality,
types of service available and cost. Anderson Regional Water strives to maintain
adequate water withdrawal and storage
rights to meet quantity and reliability factors. The Board of Directors and management maintain policies to contain cost.
Also, Anderson Regional Water works
with many partners in trying to maintain
the overall quality of Lake Hartwell.
In 2010, the area was being investigated by
a new industrial customer, First Quality
Tissue, SE LLC (First Quality). First Quality is a privately held manufacturing corporation specializing in paper and tissue
products. Anderson County appeared to
have many of the critical ingredients necessary to lure First Quality with it’s up to
one thousand new jobs and the installation
of up to $1.0 billion in capital investment.
The availability of a site, development incentives, transportation networks, affordable energy, labor training programs and a
highly motivated potential workforce were
strong factors in their decision. One of the
final factors was water supply. As one of
the key variables in their manufacturing
process, reliability and cost of water were
important factors.
During initial meetings, it was apparent
that treated water, while readily available,
would not be sufficient to the industrial
needs of the manufacturing process. Anderson Regional Water stepped forward
with a proposal to bring untreated (“raw”)
lake water to the site. This proposal provided the desired water quality and was
able to meet acceptable cost parameters to
help secure the deal. The proposal to bring
raw water to the site helped fulfill both the
immediate mission and a long-term goal
of the water system by providing a second
intake and potential water supply to the
service area.
The new intake located at the end of
Sloan’s Ferry Road off of Dobbins Bridge
Road on an extended peninsula used by
the SC Department of Natural Resources
as an enforcement boat launch area, has
no immediate residential neighbors and
is located with nearby access to relatively
deep water making it a near ideal location
for sitting a water supply intake. The new
intake structure sought to minimize the
impact on the lake by using a relatively
new approach to construction. The structure is actually constructed on land with
only an access tunnel protruding into the
lake bottom. This approach minimized
the environmental impact of construction
and eliminated the need for cofferdam construction and a permanent structure and
restricted area located in the lake.
Once operational, the new facility will
have the capacity to deliver between 24
and 30 million gallons of water per day to
the service area. Over 43,000 feet of large
diameter water transmission lines have
been installed capable of delivering up to
18 million gallons to the industrial center
of Anderson County. With up to 8 million
gallons per day of contracted demand, the
intake and transmission lines provide a
continuing potential to attract future raw
water industrial customers or conversely
with the addition of a small treatment
plant the potential to supply 80,000 - 100,000
future citizens with treated water. At full
24 million gallons per day operation, the
maximum impact on lake elevation is less
than 6 inches per year assuming zero inflows, zero wastewater return flows and
no change in the Corps lake release rates.
Actual impact should be significantly less,
in most cases not measureable, as 12 - 15
million gallons of wastewater flows will be
returned to a Savannah River basin that is
receiving at least some natural inflow.
The overall project has provided Anderson
County with a menu of water supply quality and costs that is an advantage in industrial recruitment not available to most other areas. Recognizing the potential impact
on future economic development, Anderson County government contributed over
$900,000 to the project cost to fund upsizing
of the transmission mains and installation
of additional delivery points. The balance
of the project costs are to be funded via a
contribution in aid of construction agreement and federal grants..

Editors note: As the deadline for this article approached, EPA’s report on their recent Supplemental Remedial Investigation
of PCBs had not been released to the public. This article represents information
provided by Craig Zeller, EPA Project Manager for the Twelve Mile/Lake Hartwell
Superfund site, to Larry Dyck, an LHA
Board Member.
A Supplemental Remedial Investigation (SRI) was carried out this summer.
The purpose of the SRI was to investigate
PCBs in new areas and under conditions
that were not included in the original Remedial Investigation (RI) conducted back
in the early 1990s. The original RI provided data on PCBs in channel sediments and
in fish and formed the basis for the EPA
remedy (clean-up)---a monitored natural
recover. The need for this supplemental
remedial investigation arose as a stretch
of the Twelve Mile River was opened-up
following dredging of channel sediment
and removal of two dams. Dam removal
set up new conditions that needed to be investigated (free flowing river and residual
floodplain banks). Agreement to perform
the SRI also afforded the opportunity to
analyze risks to wildlife such as fish eating birds and mammals and animals that
burrow into contaminated floodplain sediment.
Scope of the SRI
The investigation took up
several issues:
(1) PCB-based health risk to
canoe and kayak paddlers
using the opened-up river,
created by the removal of
the two small dams;
(2) PCB-based health risk
to persons who might picnic along the banks of the
river opened-up after dam
removal;
(3) An assessment of the
total PCB-content in floodplains remaining after river
dredging was completed and
dams were removed;
(4) An ecological assessment
of PCB risk to wildlife that feed on contaminated fish (note: wildlife risk was not
included in the original Remedial Investigation);
(5) An ecological assessment of PCB risk
to wildlife that burrow into contaminated
floodplain-banks that are exposed following dam removal.
Results of Human Health Risk to those
recreating in the river
Paddlers (adults and children): EPA determined the PCB concentrations in sediments from throughout the newly opened
river, as well as from sandbars and beaches

Investigation of PCBs
where paddlers might pullout their canoes
or kayaks. Paddlers were estimated to be
spending 33 days/year on the river and to
potentially consume 100 mg of contaminated sediment each day.
Those who picnic: this population of
adults and children was estimated to have
56-day trips to the river. Like the paddlers,
they too were modeled to consume 100 mg
of sediment with each visit. PCB sediment-concentrations ingested were in the
range of 0.22 – 0.54 ppm (note, this value
is quite low, but was expected considering
sediment in the river and along bars and
beaches is sandy---sand is a poor binder for
PCBs).
Health risk estimates for the two recreational groups was reported at a risk-level
of 1 person in 10 million to 1 person in 100
million. This is essentially a nonexistent
health risk. (Red flags for human health
occur when the risk is calculated at 1 person in a thousand, and precautions are
invoked when risk is between 1 person in
10,000 and 1 person in a million.) THESE
RESULTS INDICATE THERE IS ESSENTIALLY NO HEALTH RISK TO HUMANS USING THE RIVER FOR RECREATION…GREAT NEWS!
Results on PCB concentrations in
floodplains
(Background) EPA collected
multiple samples along 9 transects of the
floodplains that were opened-up following
dredging of the river and dam removal.
These floodplains had been spot-sampled
Drought response thick
through winter
Now, in the colder months, the slower release option is close to becoming a reality.
With less water being released, Hartwell
stands a chance to recover over the winter months when heavier precipitation
in 2011 by both the Lake Hartwell Association and its environmental partners, and
by Pickens County. The 2011 sampling
focused on sediments with fine-grained
particles that are known to retain PCBs.
High PCB values of 54 ppm and 170 ppm
were obtained by the two sampling groups--these values are as high as any ever discovered in the original 1990s Remedial Investigation.
(EPA Data and tentative conclusions) EPA estimated from their data
that in total about 800 lbs of PCBs occur in
the 5-6 acres of floodplain evaluated. PCB
concentrations varied among samples,
most were in the 1-5 ppm range, a small
percentage in the 10-15 ppm range and
the highest concentration detected was
54 ppm. Interestingly, the highest PCB
concentration was a variety of PCB that
was not utilized by the Sangamo electrical
plant, the company that is responsible for
polluting the Twelve Mile and Lake Hartwell Superfund site. THESE DATA WILL
NEED TO BE EVALUATED RIGOROUSLY IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHAT
ACTION-RECOMMENDATIONS ARE
REQUIRED.
Hartwell. Using local fish contamination
levels the model will incorporate impacts
to wildlife discovered from another contaminated system, a waterway downstream of a major PCB manufacturing
plant in Anniston, Alabama. WE AWAIT
THE RESULTS OF THESE MODELING
STUDIES.
Assessment of PCB risks to wildlife
(Fish Eating Animals) EPA’s
Office of Research and Development is undertaking modeling studies. The studies
use two animal species; a mammal (mink)
and a bird (the kingfisher), both eat fish as
their primary food source. The model will
use PCB concentrations found in fish located in the Twelve Mile River arm of Lake
(Burrowing Animals) This is a
new wrinkle in the evaluation of wildlife.
Now, with the removal of the dams, PCBcontaminated floodplains are left as uplands and will become home to new groups
of animals. These are burrowing animals
such as earthworms, moles, voles, mice
and shrews. EPA will undertake a modeling evaluation of burrowing animals
using the shrew as the primary subject
and then follow the movement of contamination from the shrew to the predatory
red-tailed hawk. The evaluation will use
PCB-concentration data from the transect
studies and rely on results obtained from
and run off from the mountains stand to
quench the depleting waters from our basin. A total of five inches of rain in the
coming month or two would stand to bring
the levels back to acceptable heights, Hall
added.
For the last decade, Hartwell winters have
been less than bountiful when it comes
to rain, but predictions show an equal
chance of heavy precipitation and dry-
ness throughout these crucial upcoming
months.
Overall, the services on the Savannah
River Basin, including Lake Hartwell,
generate more than 5,000 jobs and bring in
nearly $5 million in recreation and visitation each year.
In addition, officials spoke about how important it is to recycle trees and shrubs
into the lake for the improvement of fish
studies of the Kalamazoo River where a
dam was removed downstream of PCB-using industry. WE AWAIT THE RESULTS
OF THESE STUDIES.
Final Comments
Much remains to be learned from
the details of the Supplemental Remedial
Investigation. We look forward to reviewing the document.
The Lake Hartwell Association is pleased
that we have attracted the attention of
EPA to continue its investigation of PCBs
in our lake and one of its tributaries. It
is through the vigilance of local people
who belong to organizations like LHA that
questions about contamination are raised
and protection of our natural resources is
advocated.

“If we all work together, we can help turn
this drought situation around and it’s important for you (our community) to stay at
the forefront of this issue with the Army
Corp,” said Hall.
