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.
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.
