Looks good, Mike. I have already donated some stuff. The fin I lost back in March over at Two Mile.
Seriously, with things tight for everybody in this economy, making Lanier a better dive spot will benefit everybody in the area. I could see it being used more for Advanced and Specialty training with different items placed in the park. It would always be a work in progress.
Maybe one day they could lay a layer of gravel on the bottom at the park to really help with vis and cut down on silting, if that's even possible or feasible. That is the main complaint of why more divers don't dive Lanier, poor vis.
If the vis and the sites to see were improved, as they said in the movie, Field of Dreams, "Build it and They will come".

What about the recent court ruling? Would that have anything in it to stop this?

Nope, that's about water usage for consumption.

I agree with the Kraken, I don't see anything in the ruling that would prevent this.
