CRITICAL UPDATE REGARDING LOWER ACF NAVIGATION AND DREDGING
Crucially, because the NOI frames this as a Supplemental EIS (and therefore an extension to their 1976 and 2017 Environmental Impact Statements) and explicitly says that neither of its two preliminary action alternatives for disposal of dredged material would require additional authorization, the NOI strongly signals that, as long as it can dispose of the resulting dredged material, the Corps will expand the navigation season – unless the SEIS concludes that some other factor or factors are significant enough to stop it from doing so. For that reason, it is imperative that the SEIS takes into account all impacts on all other authorized purposes of the ACF – including the effects on recreation and water supply at Lake Lanier. The NOI states that the Corps will accept public comments only through September 28, 2026 – a mere 45 days after the NOI.
THIS MEANS IT IS CRITICAL THAT CITIZENS SUBMIT THEIR CONCERNS IN WRITING BY THE DEADLINE REGARDING EXPANDED NAVIGATION THROUGH THE AVENUES PROVIDED BY THE CORPS.

URGENT Lake Lanier Alert
Please Refrain From Using Lawn Fertilizer
Some boaters and lake goers have reported - what appears to be - harmful algal blooms. Please DO NOT enter the water in areas where you see what looks like green paint splattering the water or shores. These algal blooms can be especially harmful for YOU and your furry friends!
​
Wondering how and why these algal blooms are appearing? Due to an unseasonable warm fall, lack of rain and the lake turning over + combined with our affection for green lawns... It’s quite literally, a deadly combination.
Most common in shallow waters and should dissipate with rain. The algal blooms come and go, so if you see these - stay out of the water AND please be sure to report the sighting!
If you See Something, please Say Something via the “Report a Problem” form on the LLA website, lakelanier.org/report-a-problem/
The toxicity of these reports haven’t been confirmed, but the severity of the concern is worth alerting and we advise you visit the lake with caution. A sample from these reports has been taken to the Gwinnett County Water Resources Laboratory and we hope to be able to offer an update on the results in the upcoming days.
