The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (USACE), has officially released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the update of the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin (ACT) Water Control Master Manual (Master Manual). The Master Manual includes appendices prepared for individual projects in the ACT Basin and is the guide used by USACE to operate a system of five federal reservoir projects in the basin—Allatoona Dam and Lake, Carters Dam and Lake and Carters Reregulation Dam, Robert F. Henry Lock and Dam and R.E. “Bob” Woodruff Lake, Millers Ferry Lock and Dam and William “Bill” Dannelly Lake, and Claiborne Lock and Dam and Lake. USACE also has authority for flood risk management and water management control at four Alabama Power Company (APC) projects—Weiss, Neely Henry, Logan Martin, and R.L. Harris. Water Control Manuals for two APC projects—Neely Henry and R.L. Harris—are included in this update. USACE is updating the water control plans and manuals for the ACT Basin in order to improve operations for authorized purposes to reflect changed conditions since the manuals were last developed. The purpose and need for the updated Master Manual is to determine how the federal projects in the ACT Basin should adjust operations for their authorized purposes, in light of current conditions and applicable law and to implement those operations through updated water control plans and manuals. The updated plans and manuals will comply with existing USACE regulations and reflect operations under existing congressional authorizations, taking into account changes in basin hydrology and demands from years of growth and development, new/rehabilitated structural features, legal developments, and environmental issues. The DEIS and appendices are available to the public for review in the following formats: Online as PDF documents at the ACT Document Library Public Review and Comment USACE invites all interested parties to submit comments on the DEIS. The public comment period will commence with the publication of this notice and will end 60 days after its publication. Comments may be submitted via the following methods: Onsite at open houses through comment cards or the court reporter Open Houses Open houses will be held at the following locations and times: Monday, March 25
