Tulsa District
Published Dec. 1, 2020

TULSA – The 30-day public comment period for the review of the draft Lake Texoma Shoreline Management Plan revision begins Dec. 2 and will conclude Jan. 2.

The Tulsa District is providing a virtual public involvement presentation to promote public education and input related to the draft Lake Texoma SMP. Virtual presentations are available at https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Locations/Tulsa-District-Lakes/Oklahoma/Lake-Texoma/.

Links to the draft shoreline management plan, finding of no significant impact letter, public comment forms and shoreline management presentations, are available on the Tulsa District website at https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Shoreline-Management-Plans/.

The Shoreline Management Plan addresses 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 Shoreline Management Plan is intended to be complimentary to the 2017 Lake Texoma Master Plan. The current Lake Texoma SMP was implemented in 1996. The updated SMP will incorporate changes to federal laws and regulations related to public land management.

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

Jake Ellison
