RE Spillway Runoff (2)I’d love to hear what he says. Michael and I have been talking the last
couple days about how he might use the old 42” line and drain to the
river. It would bypass the Billingsley’s property entirely. Good for
everyone. We considered that in design and didn’t think it real possible
and I’m still skeptical, which is why I haven’t brought it up in our
meetings. Michael is working on some ways to connect to it at a lower
elevation downstream from the dam either by gravity or with a more
realistic siphon. I’m not sure whether we’ll get to feasible or not, but
if James has been a help to him, more power to him.
If this gets anywhere, we’ll need to look at the pump station near the
river and understand how it drains out. I’ve never seen it and am not
sure how that has been done in the past.
Thanks,
John

Hi Kieth,
It has come to my attention that Billingsly has become difficult
regarding the methodology how the lake is to be drained. I appreciate
his concern. I talked with Michael of Archer this morning and I have an
idea that could save thousands upon thousands of dollars and make
Billingsly happy as well. I would like to meet with you and discuss my
idea. I know I got Michael's attention and I hope you allow me to talk
to you in depth about it.
This coming Monday is not a good day, but the rest of the week I
am totally free.
Thanks,
James
P. S. I left the quarterly dam report with Michael at your office bldg.
I would normally have done it in Jan., but I have to spend time and
effort walking down both dams, and I gave my hip more time to heal
before tackling the task.
