MDC Seeking Public Comment on Environmental Assessment For Public Lake and Stream Access Sites

In partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Missouri Department of Conservation is seeking public comment on a draft Generic Environmental Assessment regarding the public lake and stream access program in Missouri.

MDC has used federal aid in Sport Fish Restoration funds, administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to construct and improve fishing and boating accesses on Missouri’s rivers, streams, and lakes since 1991.

The Sport Fish Restoration requires states to allocate 15-percent of their allotment for the acquisition, development, renovation, improvement, or operations and maintenance of boat accesses.

The Draft Generic Environmental Assessment for Public Access Sites in Missouri is here.

Comments should be submitted by December 31 to Laura Ruman via email at [email protected]
