We got some good news from the DMT meeting this afternoon – specific targets for the lake level in the near term. APGI has a target to bring Badin Lake up to 1.75 feet below full over the next week and to 1.5 feet below full by mid-month. There may be some fluctuations on weekends because they expect to have divers checking the dams then, and they have to completely shut off the flow while the divers are in the water.
The long term concern is that this is just a “bump in the road” with the significant rain we got over the last four days. Although we (at Badin Lake) got about 4.5 inches of rain, most of it went to our South and East. The upper Yadkin River basin to our North-West didn’t get nearly as much, and long-term prospects are still for below-normal precipitation.
