MILFORD, Kan.
—
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District at Milford Lake will host
an open house to review seasonal plans for lake elevations at the Milford Lake
Conference Center in Acorns Resort, 3710 Farnum Creek Road, Milford, Kansas,
May 4 from 2-4 p.m.
To
broaden understanding and provide opportunity for public input, the informal open
house will provide interactive stations to describe how and why these plans are
authorized, highlight the major benefits to fish and wildlife and recreation
and provide opportunity for one-on-one interaction with staff from the Corps
and the Kansas Water Office.
To
enhance on-lake fish and wildlife and recreation benefits, many Corps’ lake
projects follow these plans to operate either a little above or below normal
pool level on a seasonal basis. The plans at Milford Lake are cooperatively
agreed upon between the Corps, the Kansas Water Office and the Kansas
Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.
Comments
and questions regarding the open house should be directed to the Milford Lake
project office at (785) 238-5714.
