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).
