Lake officials to discuss low-water plan tonight

The meeting is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Heritage Park Senior Facility, 300 S. Racetrack Road, Henderson.

Recommendations regarding the scope of the environmental assessment will be accepted through Nov. 5. They may be submitted by mail to Lake Mead National Recreation Area, compliance office, 601 Nevada Way, Boulder City, NV 89005 or online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/.
