Corps of Engineers seeks 10% cut in flows from Lanier

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced a plan to decrease by 10 percent the amount of water released from Lake Lanier. The change would apply under most conditions.

The move is seen as an acknowledgement by the Corps that its current reservoir management plan is flawed.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife has until June 1 to review the new plan and its impact on federally protected species of wildlife.
