Dear LHA Members,
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\nReduced Flows Update<\/span>
\nAs you know, LHA has been asking elected officials to urge the Corps to maintain reduced flows from
\nThurmond Dam (from 3600cfs to 3100cfs)\u00a0during extreme drought conditions or at least until adverse impacts
\nwere reported. Several legislators and other leaders have contacted the Corps in support of the flow reductions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In spite of these efforts, the Corps announced it would end the 3100cfs flow reductions on 1 February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response, Mike Massey, LHA Legislative Chair for South Carolina, sent an\u00a0email to US Congressman Gresham\u00a0<\/a>
\nBarrett\u00a0<\/a>(SC) asking him look into the “inconclusive” data used to justify increasing flow rates to 3600cfs.\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\nCongressman Barrett investigated and\u00a0shared his findings in a letter<\/a>\u00a0that is now posted on the LHA website.\u00a0\u00a0
\nPlease read his letter in its’ entirety to gain an understanding of the role that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\u00a0
\nAgency (NOAA) Marine Fisheries Service plays in the Corps management of our precious water resources.<\/p>\n

Action Requested
\n<\/span>Members are encouraged to contact Mary Glackin, Deputy Under Secretary for NOAA, at (202) 482-4569\u00a0
\nor email her at\u00a0mary.glackin@noaa.gov<\/a>, to inform NOAA of the adverse impacts of their decision to increase
\nThurmond Dam flow rates and to enlist their support for reduced flows during Extreme Drought conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please share this email with\u00a0 friends and neighors and encourage them to contact NOAA and also their\u00a0elected officials.
\n<\/a>
\nTo send a note of thanks to Congressman Barrett for his support to date, please click on\u00a0this link to his official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We will keep you posted on any further significant developments.<\/p>\n

As always, thanks for your ongoing support!\u00a0\u00a0
