DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

Corps of Engineers

Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplement

to the Final Environmental Statement

(DSFES) for the Operation and

Maintenance Program Wister Lake,

Poteau River, OK

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The purpose of the DSFES is

to address raising the top of

conservation pool since filing of the

Final Environmental Statement on 13

October 1973.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

David L. Combs, Chief, Environmental

Analysis and Support Branch, Tulsa

District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

P.O. Box 61, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74121–

0061 or telephone 918–669–7660.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Wister

Lake was authorized by the Flood

Control Act of 1938 and is operated for

flood control, water supply, low flow

augmentation, water conservation, and

sedimentation. Construction was

initiated 10 April 1946 and the project

was placed in operation in October

1949.

Wister Lake is located in the northern

foothills of the Kiamichi Mountains

adjacent to the Ouachita National Forest

in LeFlore and Latimer Counties of

Oklahoma. The damsite is on the Poteau

River approximately 2 miles south of

the town of Wister, Oklahoma. As

originally authorized at conservation

pool elevation 471.6 feet National

Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), the

lake contained 27,000 acre-feet of water

storage with a surface area of 4,000

acres.

In 1974, an operational plan was

implemented at Wister Lake to

seasonally raise the conservation pool

from elevation 471.6 to 478.0 feet NGVD

between June and December. This

seasonal increase in elevation continued

each year thereafter on a temporary

basis until it was made permanent in

1978. In 1983, Public Law 98–63

directed the Chief of Engineers to raise

the permanent conservation pool level

from elevation 471.6 to 474.6 feet NGVD

and to raise the conservation pool

seasonally between 1 June and 1

December to 478.0 feet NGVD. The

Water Resources Development Act of

1996 further modified the project and

permanently raised the top of

conservation pool to elevation 478.0 feet

NGVD.

Reasonable Alternatives To Be

Considered Include

a. No action

b. Continued operation of the project

with environmental compliance

Significant Issues To Be Addressed In

the (DSFES) Include

The potential impact of raising the top

of conservation pool on other project

purposes, fish and wildlife resources,

water quality, recreation, cultural

resources, Federally listed threatened

and/or endangered species, and

mitigation requirements.

List of Affected Parties

A mailing list has been developed for

various notices concerning preparation

of this supplement. This list includes

local, state, and Federal officials having

jurisdiction, expertise, or other interests

in the action: environmental interest

Scoping

Comments received as a result of this

Notice of Intent will be used to assist

the Tulsa District in identifying

comments may be forwarded to the

above noted address. To be considered

in the DSFES, comments and

suggestions should be received no later
