Also it might be annoying if someone builds a house on that 200 feet of federal
land between you and the lake, once it becomes state land and they sell it off.
I understand your concern with management also. Although the Mississippi river
and Lakes Superior and Michigan seem to indicate that the problems are not
insoluble. The corps would still control the lake.
