water supply, recreation and nonFederal hydropower. Top of 

conservation pool was originally set at 

elevation 515. 

Following construction of Ray Roberts 

Dam upstream, the conservation pool of 

Lewisville was raised from elevation 

515 to 522 on November 30, 1988. At 

elevation 522, the lake inundates 

approximately 29,600 surface acres. Top 

of flood pool is elevation 532 which 

inundates approximately 39,200 surface 

acres. Downstream of the dam, 

approximately 2,000 acres of Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) owned lands are 

currently leased by the Lewisville Lake 

Environmental Learning Area. A former 

fish hatchery is also operated by the 

government for national research on 

controlling nuisance aquatic plants. 

The risk associated with the Lake 

Lewisville project was first evaluated in 

2005 after the Corps instituted a 

Screening Portfolio Risk Assessment 

(SPRA) program to assess the risk of all 

694 dams in the Corps’ portfolio. The 

SPRA report completed in July 2005, 

was reviewed by Corps senior dam 

safety officials who concluded that the 

risks associated with the possible poor 

performance of the dam were above the 

Corps’ tolerable risk guidelines. As a 

result, additional studies of the project 

were initiated. These studies are 

currently ongoing, and will evaluate 

appropriate ways to minimize risk 

associated with the project. While the 

Corps completes in-depth studies of the 

project to determine appropriate 

permanent methods for correcting 

potential problems, interim risk 

reduction measures have been 

implemented. In anticipation of possible 

permanent corrective actions at the 

project, and in order to fully comply 

with National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) requirements, the Corps is 

preparing a project report and a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

to identify the environmental impacts 

associated with any alternatives to 

repair and reduce risks at the Lake 

Lewisville Dam. The general study area 

will be the Lake Lewisville proper and 

floodplain from Ray Roberts Dam 

downstream to Interstate Highway 20 in 

Dallas County. 

DATES: A public scoping meeting will be 

held on August 20, 2013 beginning at 

7:00 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at 

the Medical Center of Lewisville— 

Grand Theater Black Box Theater Room, 

100 North Charles Street, Lewisville, TX 

75057. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions pertaining to the proposed 

action and DEIS can be addressed to: 

Ms. Hollie Hunter, Environmental 

Project Manager, CESWF–PER–EE, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth 

District, P.O. Box 17300, Fort Worth, TX 

76102–0300, (817) 886–1849. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The study 

area lies within an area of rapid growth 

in the Lewisville, Grapevine, Dallas, 

Texas corridor along the Elm Fork and 

Mainstem floodways of the Trinity 

River. 

Alternatives will be developed and 

evaluated based on ongoing research 

and data collection and past studies 

conducted by the Corps. Preliminary 

alternatives considered will include 

dam modifications necessary to reduce 

risk to acceptable levels, and will 

include consideration of any required 

hydraulic, environmental or recreational 

mitigation. 

The public will be invited to 

participate in the scoping process, 

invited to attend public meetings, and 

given the opportunity to review the 

DEIS. The first public scoping meeting 

will be on (see DATES and ADDRESSES). 

Subsequent public meetings, if deemed 

necessary, will be announced in the 

local news media. Release of the DEIS 

for public comment is scheduled for 

September 2014. The exact release date, 

once established, will be announced 

through mailings to known interested 

individuals, agencies and officials and 

in the local news media. 

Future coordination with other 

agencies and public scoping will be 

conducted to ensure full and open 

participation and aid in the 

development of the DEIS. All affected 

Federal, state, and local agencies, 

affected Indian tribes, and other 

interested private organizations and 

parties are hereby invited to participate. 

Continued coordination will also be 

conducted with the U. S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS). The USFWS 

will furnish information on threatened 

and endangered species in accordance 

with the Endangered Species Act. In 

addition, the USFWS will also be 

requested to provide support with 

planning aid and to provide a Fish and 

Wildlife Coordination Act Report. The 

State Historic Preservation Office will 

be consulted as required by Section 106 

of the National Historic Preservation 

Act.
