WHY: A master plan is a strategic land- and water-use management document. It guides the comprehensive management, conservation, and development of recreation, natural and cultural resources at Corps reservoirs and provides a vision for future management. Youghiogheny River Lake’s current master plan, last updated in 2007, requires revision due to changes in corps regulations and community needs. The master plan revision will classify government lands around the reservoir based on environmental and socioeconomic considerations; public input; and an evaluation of past, present, and forecasted recreations trends. Revisions to the current master plan aim to balance recreational development and use with conserving natural and cultural resources.
Media can contact the Public Affairs office at CELRP-PA@usace.army.mil.
