    TULSA, Okla. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District established a 30-day public comment period related to the disposition of Optima Lake, Texas County, Oklahoma beginning Oct. 3 and will host a public meeting to assess the economic, social, and environmental impacts of disposing of the federally authorized project.

    The USACE will host an informational, open house style meeting at the Texas County Activity Center, 402 N Sunset Lane, Guymon, OK 739421, Oct. 5 from 5 – 8 p.m.

    Nor formal presentations will take place, but subject matter experts will be available to answer questions.

    Optima Lake was established with the purposes of flood control, water supply, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation. The Disposition Study will evaluate whether the project is still serving its authorized purposes and investigate potential adverse and beneficial impacts of disposition and other alternatives.

    A video presentation about the Disposition Study is available here.
