Back to EpisodesAlabama Bill Seeks to Reopen Public Lake
Description
Alabama State Representative Shane Stringers House Bill 484 seeks to declassify reservoirs on public waterways as critical infrastructure, following the arrest of a man for fishing on Big Creek Lake in Mobile County. The lake, which supplies water to 350,000 people, was closed to boating and fishing in February 2025, leading to Stringers bill. The measure aims to protect public access and boost tourism without endangering real infrastructure, despite concerns about nearby hazardous materials. The bill was amended to exclude coastal waterways within 50 miles and was carried over for further debate.
