    Public Meeting will address Oologah Lake Master Plan

    TULSA, OK, UNITED STATES

    The Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will host an informational meeting related to the Oologah Lake Master Plan at the Home RV Park and Event Center in Oologah, Oklahoma, Feb. 27 from 6 - 8 p.m.

    The purpose of the meeting is to inform the public about master plans and explain how they assist in potential revisions.

    The current master plan was published in 1977.

    No formal presentation will take place but Tulsa District park rangers and staff will be available to answer questions and provide visitors with maps and other visual information related to the process of revising the master plan.

    The Home RV Park and Event Center is located at 8013 E. Hwy 88, Oologah, OK 74053.

    A master plan is a strategic land use management document that guides the comprehensive management and development of all recreational, natural, and cultural resources throughout the life of the water resource development project. In general, it defines how the resources will be managed for public use and resource conservation.

    Master plans do not address detailed technical operational aspects of the lake related to flood risk management, the water conservation missions of the project, or the shoreline management program which specifies what private uses are permitted along the shoreline.

    The master plan study area will include Oologah Lake and all adjacent recreational and natural resources properties under federal control.

    After the meeting, information from the event, including the existing plan, will be made available via the Tulsa District website at https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Master-Plans/.

    Comments must be submitted in writing and may be submitted in-person at the workshop or by post to:

    Bobby J. Parkey
    Oologah Lake Manager
    8400 East Hwy 88,
    Oologah, OK 74053.

    Or email comments to: CESWT-OD-NO@usace.army.mil

    Any revision will address land classifications, new natural and recreational resource management objectives, recreation facility needs, and special topics such as invasive species management and threatened and endangered species habitat.
