Iowa
City, IA. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, has been
revising the Coralville Lake Lakeshore Management Plan which is now referred to
as the Coralville Lake Shoreline Management Plan. The draft plan is now
available for public review and comment. We will be hosting an open house on
Thursday, February 18, 2016 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Coralville Lake
Office located at 2850 Prairie Du Chien Road NE, Iowa City, Iowa. The purpose
of the open house is to informally meet with individuals and groups to discuss
the proposed Coralville Lake Shoreline Management Plan revisions.
Attendees will have an
opportunity to learn about how the Corps will manage private development (i.e.
boat docks, paths, steps) on public lands and waters. They can ask questions
and provide comments to the plan prior to it being formally approved and
adopted.
During the open house,
maps showing current and proposed changes to shoreline zoning will be available
for viewing and comment. Corps staff will be available throughout the event to
answer questions and discuss the proposed changes. Limited copies of the draft
plan will be available at the open house so we recommend it be viewed prior to
the meeting via our website or at the Lake Office.
The Shoreline Management
Plan is not a plan for flood risk management or water level management
associated with major facilities such as a dam, gates, a spillway or outlet
works. These items are addressed in other documents.
