Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area Shoreline Management Plan/ Environmental Assessment

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is many things to its 1.5 million visitors every year: miles of open water for boating and fishing, secluded coves for camping, and scenic backdrop for rest and relaxation. In an effort to preserve the qualities you enjoy most, the National Park Service has completed a Shoreline Management Plan. It is now available for public comment.

Individuals or organizations wishing to provide written comments during the review period can submit them one of three ways: electronically on
the PEPC website, in person at one of the open houses, or by mail no later than November 11, 2009.

Your role in this process continues to be extremely important. I encourage you to critically review the alternatives and determine if the issues that
Lake Roosevelt faces, such as providing adequate public access to the lake as visitation increases, cleaning up our beaches and day-use areas, and
balancing the ecological health of the lake with the needs of the large boating community, are adequately addressed in the alternatives.
