At the July 2004 Board Meeting, your Directors decided to ask Alcoa
to take action to move buoys that have been incorrectly placed, in the
Associations view, around Eagle Point Nature Preserve. This is an area
of the lake near Emerald Bay and Panther Point, and the buoys are blocking
a large area of the lake. For more detail, read the letter we sent to
Alcoa . . .

The Association advises Alcoa on January 31, 2004 of concerns about below normal precipitation, below normal river flows, and the potential to repeat the problems of 2002 if the lake levels are not brought up and power generation (discharges) are limited to inflow rates . . .

In April 2003 the State of South Carolina complained to FERC that HRLA’s position on proposed operation of High Rock Lake was “troubling” and charged we wanted the lake maintained for “aesthetic and recreational reasons”. See HRLA’s response to SC’s complaint. Please note, SC has never answered our questions, or responded to issues the HRLA presented to them . . .
