Savanah River lakes about to come under assault
So if the COE only controls a little strip of land, what are they going to
transfer to the state? Sounded like a whole bunch of land surrounding the res. was federal property. With the exception of campgrounds and ramp/parking areas, it is only a small strip of land, defined by elevation below a certain point above sea level. On my property, it translates to about 200 feet from the waterline. It depends on the topology. I don't know the acreage, perhaps in the many thousands, but quite literally in the shape of a thin, hollow slice, ghosting the border of the waterline, across many counties, and two states. Roads and utilities to the land would require ridiculous easements. Any development would take place very close to the lake, and would obviously be more envrionmentally impactful than the buffer the COE currently has established. It's heavily wooded and very clean land because the COE does a nice job of preventing people from messing it up. -- Rich Stern www.nitroowners.com - The Nitro and Tracker Owners Web Site www.mypontoon.com - The Pontoon Boat Web Site www.fishingreportdatabase.com - The Fishing Report Database www.mysporttrac.com - The Sport Trac Web Site |

So the COE has the job of enforcing regs on tens/hundreds of miles by 200 feet or so of land? Sounds like a big job. Perhaps they could sell it to the folks who adjoin it? Then it's not their problem, the state gets its tax base, and the existing property owners don't get abused. I know that having the gubmint provide it free is a nice little perk, but most of it doesn't really serve the common good. If a random individual from Minnesota were to show up, what would he be allowed to do on this public land? Can I hike? Camp? Have a party? Use the Beach? Del |

Yes to all of those questions. The COE manages to surrounding land so the
lake does not fill up with silt. They also make sure that there are plenty of public access for boat ramps, public parks and beaches and areas for fishing and camping. The COE manages the surrounding land to insure the long term benefit for everyone, not the short term benefit for a few. "del cecchi" wrote in message ... "Rich Stern" wrote in message ...
