Based next to Blakely Mountain Dam at Lake Ouachita, the Ouachita Project Office oversees the operations of Lakes Ouachita, DeGray and Greeson.  Within area of responsibility are 5 critical missions:  Flood Damage Reduction, Hydropower, Environmental Stewardship, Water Supply and Recreation.   These lakes and the missions they fulfill have a powerful impact on the people and economy of Arkansas. 

No one mission is more important that another.  All work together in a delicate tapestry to benefit the people of this state, and the Nation.  We welcome visitors to our lakes, and urge them to keep in mind the multiple missions and responsibilities of our projects and staff.

Today, we face the difficult task of matching service to funding, amid a growing list of critical maintenance items for our facilities.  We are working closely with our stakeholders, the Arkansas Congressional delegation and local officials to find long term solutions to those problems.  Together we will succeed in keeping these lakes and facilities open and operational for generations to come.

For more information please, feel free to email our Public Affairs Office (CEMVK-PA@usace.army.mil) or the lake office directly at (lake.ouachita@mvk02.usace.army.mil).

Thanks for visiting!
