We own multiple residences in two counties on Boone Lake, on Oak Grove Loop and JA Hodge Road, among others, and fully support any increase in the time the reservoir could remain at full pool.

Please extend the full pool through the beautiful fall season. Thank you TVA, BDRC, and Boone Lake Association for helping with the return to full pool thus tear!

My wife and I are in our late 70’s and we have waited 7 years to be able to use our lake property with water!!! My husband said when this happened he’d not live long enough to see the water back❗️ Now it’s back. Please consider leaving it up until October 1st

We would really appreciate being allowed to enjoy the lake during September.

I agree with the October date even 1 November would be good. I heard from BLA board member that Boone Lake is "NOT" a water shed lake due to its small size. Watauga and Holston are water shed lakes.

Thanks for considering this policy change. I would really appreciate enjoying the lake and marinas later in the season. Thank you!

TVA put out a graph that it would stay full pool this year and next year. They need to be held to their own released public information. Some of us have to live with the consequences of the promises we make. I think they should give us water this September.

Kudos to TVA personnel & contractors for the overall job they have done on the Boone Lake Dam Repair Project. Please consider delaying the drawdown to allow us to continue use of the lake through September. Thanks!

Thank you to TVA for the excellent job they have done in bringing Boone Lake back to summer levels which includes brush control, clean up, restocking and communication with the public.

It would be so great to get the boat from the lift and enjoy the beauty of our wonderful lake in the Fall. When you start taking the water level down after September 1 this is not an option.

We have done without our beautiful lake for so many years now that I think it would be a good gesture to keep our lake up longer like everyone is asking. Thank you

I believe the whole dropping of the water 20 ft normally is a very outdated policy that’s been in effect since the 50s? Surly we have enough technology today that simply lowering 5 ft would allow for any such flood mitigation.

We would love to see the draw down pushed to October. It would give all home owners and visitors more opportunity to see the beautiful change of season colors on Boone lake. And help the local marinas that have struggled the past 7 years stay open a little longer. We need the economic boost after the lake being down and then covid last year !
