The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District has begun the public scoping period and is seeking public comment regarding the development of the Fort Peck Lake Shoreline Management Plan through Sept. 30, 2021.
An SMP establishes policies and guidelines for the protection and preservation of the environmental characteristics of the shoreline while maintaining a balance between public and private shoreline uses.
Fort Peck Lake is located in northeastern Montana on the Missouri River near Glasgow.
A scoping period is the process of determining what content of the SMP update should focus on. This process is used as an opportunity to gather input from the public, stakeholders, non-governmental organizations, state and local agencies, and Tribes about what the vision for land management at Fort Peck Lake should address.
Health and safety are a top priority of USACE. A virtual public scoping meeting will be held via WebEx at 6:30 p.m. MST; 7:30 p.m. CST, Thursday, Sept. 16.
