Member Photos 11 LHA has stated in the position paper that “ The Lake Hartwell Association (LHA) highly recommends and supports the concept that the States of Georgia and South Carolina, and including the Federal Government, should enter into an agreement concerning the management and operation of the water resources in the Savannah River Basin (SRB). It would be in the interest of all parties to support this proposal. LHA also suggests that the time to undertake this activity is now before any water disputes occur which may result in long-term litigation and potentially negative consequences to one or more parties.” Governor Purdue announced that the committees would meet to talk about how to equitably share the Savannah River Basin wa- ter resources. The officials hope a water sharing agreement will avoid future multi-million dollar lawsuits that have been ongo- ing for about 14 years between Georgia, Florida and Alabama over the water in the Chattahoochee River. LHA has stated “ Ideally, if the negotiations among the parties were successful, an agreement would take the form of a Savannah River Basin Compact. A Compact is a specific form of interstate arrangement, provided for in the U.S. Constitution and used to create binding, enforceable agreements between states. A Compact is created when the legislatures of the respective states and the Congress of the United States all enact identical Bills that encompass the agreement and those Bills are signed into law by the respective Governors and the President.” We at the Lake Hartwell Association are very supportive of this action by the governors and, of course, will continue to work towards a successful agreement. We feel it is a significant step towards protecting the water in the lake for the future residents, businesses and visitors. Until next time - let’s keep the lake “clean and deep."

Hains, Committee Chair Dr. Steven Klaine Dr. Mark Schlautman ABSTRACT The Upper Savannah River watershed has numerous impoundments, and the three largest hydroelectric reservoirs, from north to south, are Hartwell, Richard B. Russell, and J. Strom Thurmond Lakes. During the summer months, these reservoirs undergo thermal and chemical stratification, which results in the formation of cool, hypoxic/anoxic hypolimnia and warm, oxic epilimnion. To maintain fisheries habitat, the United States Army Corps of Engineers operates a hypolimnetic oxygenation system in the forebay of Richard B. Russell Lake. The purpose of this system is to improve the water quality of the releases from Richard B.
