    I spoke with the operation manager at the corp this morning about this. He said it is not looking promising on bringing the lake up to normal summer pool this year. Because of the endangered minnow, it will be awhile
    before the federal wild life makes and carries out a plan to save them. Even after they get done, then it is sent to the general in Indiana, then he makes the final decision on when to start raising the lake up. If its to late
    in the year, he won't raise it at all. So instead of it being 723, he said it will be around 700-705 for this year.

    I'm not a biologist, but if Tuxedo Darters are in the headwaters now, I would think they were there when the lake was lowered for the dam repair. So if the lake was at 723 before the repairs started and the Darter was there, how is returning it to 723 going to endanger them? Just asking....

    Because that makes too much sense

    Thought about that, too, John. I think it has to do with them moving "down" the Big South Fork river, over the years, after the lake was allowed to drop to 680. And I think they're afraid that letting the lake go back to original pool, all in a short length of time, might put them in jeopardy. I'm just speculating, but that's what it sounded like when they said federal agencies knew the darter was in the area, but did not know that it would expand into areas caused by the drawdown.
