Help Save Table Rock Lake for Divers

[nagel]

Hey all,

I'm trying to get the word out to as many local Table Rock divers to maybe attend one of the these meetings. It appears the Corps would like to hear input on making Table Rock Lake better. It sure would be great if they would consider putting in a suitable shore diving area and maybe even allow some of the local dive shops / divers to put in some platforms and dive attractions.

If you are in the area, can you go and put in a good word for us?

TABLE ROCK LAKE MASTER PLAN REVISION

The Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, plans to revise the Table Rock Lake Master Plan. The Master Plan guides the classification and management of government-owned or leased lands around the lake and may affect future recreational opportunities and natural resource management.

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) an Environmental Assessment of potential impacts of the draft plan will also be prepared.

We want to hear from you!

Please attend a meeting or visit Little Rock District - Table Rock Lake
for current information.

Got an email from one of my buddies that attended one of the meetings:

Meeting was short and to the point. Very general explanation of the Corps desire to update their "master plan". Must have been 800-900 people at the Reeds Spring meeting. No chance to actually voice individual concerns. They did, however, have comments cards available and I completed one from a divers viewpoint needing consideration for developed dive sites. I suggest an email to the corps by Dec. 14 which will do as much good as anything.
