I highly doubt this will be happening anytime soon. A drawdown of that magnitude would have significant impact in many areas. For example, the Weirs Channel is only about 5' deep in many spots so it would be essentially dry. I imagine there would be negative environmental impacts as well.

I've been coming to the lake more than 20 years and have never heard of or seen a drawdown any greater than the normal 'low' winter levels we've been seeing. The data on Bizer's lake level page shows data from 1984-2007 and it is clear it has not happened during that timeframe.
