Lake officials to discuss low-water plan tonight

Rangers from Lake Mead National Recreation Area will host a meeting tonight, Oct. 12, about the park’s proposed low-water amendment to its general management plan.

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

Park officials have been developing a plan to address operational needs for Lake Mead in the event that water elevation decreases below 1,050 feet. The plan is designed to provide a long-term strategy for addressing operational needs to maintain lake access and to provide safe and diverse recreational opportunities.

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/.
