		Today, this northernmost dam on the river is one of only 50 or so in the country still operating a water-powered mill.
		Dams still play an important role in Columbus today, as four in the city and five more to the north provide hydro power and help control floods that traditionally inundated the area.
		Dams have been built on the Chattahoochee River since the early 1800s, but construction on the ones that truly changed the face of the river didn't begin until the mid-1950s.

	Coppermine Dam on the St. Croix River
		Acting on a suggestion from historian Scott Neilsen of Superior, Wisconsin, I visited the remains of the Coppermine Dam which is located several miles downstream of the Gordon Dam on the St. Croix River.
		As the severe summer/fall drought brought down the water levels considerably, a fine opportunity presented itself to observe the underpinnings of this rock dam which was built for logging purposes around 1860 – possibly as early as 1853.
		Aiding my location of the dam was an aerial photo from the Terraserver site which is shown here.

	Bass fishing in Georgia, from the mountains to the sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Largemouth bass are plentiful during the fall on this reservoir.
		In the fall, bass often are caught in shallow to medium-depth water near structure and dropoffs in the coves or off the main channel.
		Fall is the best time to fish for stripers in Georgia's coastal rivers as they are moving down river as water temperatures change and they are feeding on the abundantly available bait, such as shrimp and menhaden, in estuaries.

	Chattahoochee River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Several lakes, including Lake Lanier, Lake Walter F. George West Point Lake, and others are controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, providing hydroelectricity, flood control, drinking water, recreation, and navigation.
		Several smaller and older lakes and dams also provide these services on a much smaller and more localized scale, including Bull Sluice Lake and Morgan Falls Dam.
		These were the highest levels seen since 1990, and the second highest ever since Buford Dam was built upstream.

		Prior to the development of the dam, the river was a warm-water fishery.
		The hatcheries generally stock their trout in streams found in their vicinity; however, other hatcheries may be called upon for trout should one hatchery not have what is needed at the time of the stocking.
		Below Morgan Falls, 100,000 fingerlings (evenly split between browns and rainbows) ranging 2-3 inches long are released each year.

		The river’s flow is controlled by two dams (Buford and Morgan Falls) also known as “tailraces” and have a significant effect on the best times to fish and where.
		The late fall through early spring is a wonderful time to fish this river that hosts lots shoals and is a broad enough for long casts.
		Because the river is a controlled by the power generation schedule a dam, it fluctuates between a wadeable-stream to a boat-only access, flow.

		Shoal bass are native to the Chattahoochee and the extensive shoal habitat downstream of Morgan Falls Dam likely sustained a healthy population prior to construction of Buford Dam in 1958.

		Looking back toward the dam, you should also be able to spot the end of a long concrete stilling wall (looks like the K-rail they use for highway dividers) that juts out from the dam.
		For those who might be interested in the history of the dam and power plant, it went into service in 1904 and at that time was the largest hydroelectric plant in the southeast, and was a major supply of power to the City of Atlanta.
		The lake behind the dam is a lesson in siltation, as the river has built new banks for most of the length of the lake.

		The dam was constructed from 1902 to 1904 of cyclopean masonry concrete.
		From July 1959 to August 1960, the project was extensively modified by installing the spillway piers, spillway bridge, radial gates and hoists, new steel head gates and hoists, and constructing concrete wing walls at the east and west abutments.
		The dam consists of a 680-foot-long spillway structure, a 20-foot-long trash gate section, and the 195-foot-long intake and powerhouse.

		Biagi stated that the section of the river between Buford Dam and Interstate 285 is classified as trout waters.
		Biagi stated that because of the complexity of the system, with the artificially cold water coming from the dam, it was decided to pursue river-specific temperature standards.
		He further stated that in 2002 the directors of WRD and EPD recommended to the board, and the board approved, that river-specific criteria be developed.

	URGENT - VIRGINIA - OCCOQUAN RIVER DAM AT OCCOQUAN IN DANGER OF FAILURE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		We had a major dam failure in GA about 20 years ago (again it was an earthen dam not a concrete one) where the local authorities were warned repeatedly that the dam was in poor condition and just ignored it because they didn't want to "cause a panic".
		The USACOE investigation found that the dam was in poor condition, but that overtopping was not a factor (they were undecided between a landslip adjoining the dam and "piping" or low level breach of the dam due to tree root infiltration and old abandoned structures in the body of the dam.)
		I take it from your post that the dam in question is not a flat faced type like the picture I posted at the top of the thread but rather one with a sloped front that is designed for overtopping.

		The Chattahoochee River from Buford Dam to Roswell Road is the most heavily-stocked stream in Georgia and receives about 150,000, 9- to 10-inch trout each year.
		The annual average water temperature in the river below the dam is about 55 degrees, and the temperature generally stays below 60 degrees even in the heat of summer.
		The air temperature was nearly 90 degrees when we launched the boat, but while we were anchored at the shoals and near the bridge, a cool breeze off the water kept things pleasant.
