Shoreline Management
The proper management of shoreline development must balance the interests of a number of stakeholders and is vital to the life of the lake.
Bartlett's Ferry Dam Circa 1930
When Georgia Power began upgrading the spillway gate system at Bartletts Ferry Dam in 2018, it was determined that the original gantry cranes, which had been in place since the dam’s completion in 1925, would have to be replaced. This initiated consultation with the Georgia and Alabama State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPO), as well as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Since the cranes could not be preserved in place, extensive archival documentation in the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) was conducted prior to their removal.
