Questions may be directed to the USACE Lake Manager, 3740 FM 1670, Belton, Texas 76513, (254) 939-2461. Please note that only written comments regarding the Master Plan revision will be considered.
The Master Plan study area includes Stillhouse Hollow Lake proper and all adjacent recreational and natural resources properties under USACE administration. Revision of the Master Plan does not address in detail the technical operational aspects of the reservoir related to the water supply or flood risk management missions of the project. Stillhouse Hollow Lake is a multi-purpose reservoir constructed and managed for flood risk management, water supply, fish and wildlife, and recreation.
This is a revision from the current Master Plan, last updated in 1970, which is no longer useful for addressing changes in regional land use, population, outdoor recreation trends and USACE management policy. Key topics addressed in the revised Master Plan include revised land classifications, new natural and recreational resource management objectives, recreation facility needs and special topics such as invasive species management and threatened and endangered species habitat. Please view the video presentation and review the Stillhouse Hollow Lake draft master plan revision document and participate in the successful revision of the Master Plan.
