The claim is that opening locks will bring economic boom and commerce up the Kentucky. That's a load of crap. In KRA meeting minutes, they briefly addressed a fisherman's concern about the invasion of carp. They blew it off, stating "they're already there".

1. Why are millions spent on locks that will only benefit a few?
2. Where is US Fish and Wildlife and environmental studies for Asian carp invasion?
3. Why is Fish and Wildlife quite about the opening of 4 locks and the impact of carp?
I hear what you are saying locks providing a way for the carp to go further up the KY River.

I am not totally familiar with what the KY River does when it floods.
Question: Does the dam become submerged when it floods providing a passage over the Dam?

Let me know.
