would be lighted. He mentioned that someone had voiced concern
that unlighted poles could be a navigational hazard. Lancaster
said some poles (heavy traffic) would be lighted. Some poles will
have a reflective sign. The wildlife commission has assisted in
determining which poles should be lighted.
Lancaster said the lake was becoming more and more congested.
Duke Power/Crescent Resources has predicted that all of its
property will be gone in ten years. Also, Lancaster said the
commission was estimating that the current 11,000 permanent slips
on the lake would increase to 24,000 in the next three to five
years. Lancaster stated that boating laws had not changed since
1959 and that the marine commission needed to aggresively start a
safety program for the lake.
