Lake Lanier Info

Lake Lanier was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950’s. The Corp currently has the responsibility to manage, preserve and protect the lake's environment while providing for a balanced use of the lakeshore.

Homeowners need the Corps permission to install a dock on their property or to do any work on public property.

Lake Lanier is one of 464 lakes in 43 states constructed and operated by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The problem is Gov. Sonny Perdue. He sold his soul to Bush and when he went to Bush for help, guess who gave him the finger and said work it out with the Gov's from Ala.and Fla. Sonny needs to be "removed"from office immediately and replaced by someone who can think ahead and plan accordingly. I can't believe more people haven't sued the Corps.for their general "sloppiness"in coltrolling our lake level and the release of water for Fla.& Ala.. What are these states going to do when the well runs dry and we can't release any more water over the dam ?Further, what is Georgia going to do ? My suggestion is to start a drainage canal from the Tenn.river down and along I75 until it reaches an area just north of both Lake Allatoona and Lanier, then run split off canals to both lakes and hope for the best. California did this many years ago and the canals are still in existence and performing very well to this day. Time for Sonny to get serious about this problem and use that surplus tax money he has to help all of us.
