MOBILE, Ala. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District announced that the West Point Lake Project Management Office will continue to accept public comments on the Shoreline Management Plan update until June 7th.
Comments can be submitted online at http://www.sam.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil Works/Recreation/West-Point-Lake/Shoreline-Management/ or in person at the West Point Lake Project Visitor Center.
The West Point Lake Shoreline Management Plan governs the use of the shoreline by adjacent property owners to promote safe and healthy public use of the shoreline, while conserving the lake’s natural resources for current and future generations.
The update will mark the first time in 25 years that the project is reviewing the entire Shoreline Management Plan. The current plan was finalized in 1993, with only minor updates occurring in 2004 and 2010.
The process to update the Shoreline Management Plan is expected to take approximately 2 years and will review the environmental impacts of proposed changes. Please note that comments and concerns about lake levels or water management are out of the scope of this SMP update and should be addressed with the Mobile District Public Affairs Office at (251) 690-3241 or by email at CESAM-PA@usace.army.mil.
