The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District extended the comment period for the Lake Eufaula Shoreline Management Plan supplement to Nov. 10.

All comments received from the beginning of the comment period through Nov. 10 will be considered and included in any final document.

Information related to the draft SMP supplement, draft environmental assessment, draft Finding of No Significant Impacts, and public comment forms are available on the Tulsa District website at https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Shoreline-Management-Plans/.

The existing 2013 Lake Eufaula SMP established the rules and guidelines that govern private shoreline uses, such as private boat docks, vegetation modification, and similar uses of USACE federally owned fee property.

The supplemental update is intended to be complementary to the 2013 Eufaula Lake SMP. The proposed update changes vegetation modification permits in limited development areas, which would allow the public to mow a 6-foot-wide meandering path through the 45-foot shoreline vegetation buffer, with approval required from the Eufaula Lake Manager.

The supplemental update does not propose changes to shoreline allocation.

Comments and questions pertaining to the proposed supplement can be addressed to:

Lake Manager, Eufaula Lake

All comments regarding the SMP supplement must be in writing and can be submitted via mail or email to the above addresses.
