So today I was given direction to make an addition to the map including a conceptual layout for a grading plan of a site above the proposed pool elevation boundary. Meaning: someone wants to create a huge paved parking lot right above the valley (the size of a shopping center!).

So did I. But, nothing, nada on this group. Even did a quick search on the ky.gov site.

Oh yea, and the paved area is titled: "Muir Lake Development"

I swear on Ray's life, this is what an engineer gave me direction to do this morning.

I'd call Rick. I'm sure he would know if something like this was being proposed.

I sent Rick an email already this morning but he's at the gorge already.

http://www.adv-res.com/ keep coming up in google, but nothing directly related. The are big time into advaced oil and natural gas recovery (which is what the oil and NG fields around the red are).

Any chance KNARP is a cover name for something else?............

Depending on the water level it could make the approach to the climbs a lot easier.

what I mean is can they take private land from people to make a resevoir the same way the government can take land for interstate highways?

A recent US Supreme Court case could be interpreted to actually give private developers near "emminent domain" powers. That is not my area of practice but I think it arose in Virginia(the state not the climber)
Of course there are lots of other hurdles like archaelogical and protected species type stuff.

I am still skeptical that this is a putup job.
