  • Lake Texoma Water Management Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)
    Lake Texoma Water Management Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: Why is Lake Texoma so low? A1: A combination of factors is contributing to the current lake level. Even though there was substantial rainfall last May-July, there has been very little precipitation since. We need to have significant rainfall across the entire watershed that feeds Lake Texoma to bring water levels back up. In general, a persistent exceptional drought for the last three years has gripped much of the Lake Texoma watershed. Inflows into the lake for 2011 were the lowest since its construction and 2013 saw the second lowest inflows. Evaporation of water is also a contributing factor. On an average year, Lake Texoma loses approximately six feet (74”) of water to evaporation. When the Lake Texoma basin does not get enough rain, the combination of evaporation and ongoing water usage will cause the lake level to drop. The primary ongoing water usage from Lake Texoma is for municipal/ industrial water supply and hydropower, which are critical in meeting needs for water and electricity. The lake is designed and required to allow authorized project purposes such as water supply and hydropower to continue during drought periods. By this design, Texoma has historically maintained an elevation of 612 or above, approximately 85 percent of the time. Q2: Why are there water releases from Denison Dam during drought? A2: The Flood Control Act passed by Congress in 1938 allowed for the construction of Denison Dam for the authorized purposes of flood control and hydropower production. Other authorized project purposes, such as water supply and recreation were added later.

  • Estimating Spawning Times of Alligator Gar (Atractosteus Spatula) in Lake Texoma, Oklahoma
    46 Estimating Spawning Times of Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) in Lake Texoma, Oklahoma Richard A. Snow Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, Oklahoma Fishery Research Laboratory, Norman, OK 73072 James M. Long U.S. Geological Survey Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078 Abstract: In 2013, juvenile Alligator Gar were sampled in the reservoir-river interface of the Red River arm of Lake Texoma. The Red River, which flows 860 km along Oklahoma’s border with Texas, is the primary in-flow source of Lake Texoma, and is impounded by Denison Dam. Mini- fyke nets were deployed using an adaptive random cluster sampling design, which has been used to effectively sample rare species. Lapilli otoliths (one of the three pair of ear stones found within the inner ear of fish) were removed from juvenile Alligator Gar collected in July of 2013. Daily ages were estimated by counting the number of rings present, and spawn dates were back-calculated from date of capture and subtracting 8 days (3 days from spawn to hatch and 5 days from hatch to swim- up when the first ring forms). Alligator Gar daily age estimation ranged from 50 to 63 days old since swim-up. Spawn dates corresponded to rising pool elevations of Lake Texoma and water pulses of tributaries. ©2015 Oklahoma Academy of Science Introduction In its native range, Alligator Gar spawns from early April through the middle of June The Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) is in conjunction with seasonal flooding events the largest freshwater fish species in Oklahoma (Etnier and Starnes 1993, Ferrara 2001, Inebnit and the third largest in North America (Page and 2009).

  • Frequently Asked Questions About Southwestern's Vegetation
    One West Third Street Tulsa, OK 74103-3502 918-595-6600 www.swpa.gov Frequently Asked Questions – Lake Texoma Hydropower Generation April 3, 2014 Question. Why is Southwestern generating at Lake Texoma when the lake is so low? Answer. Southwestern is generating only a minimal amount to meet short-term peaking and critical power needs. The year 2013 marked the lowest generation year in the 70 year history of Lake Texoma and Denison Dam. The year 2011 was the second lowest. In fact, SWPA has been operating in drought mode since January 2011, generating only 25% of average. Since May 2012, generation has been even less, about 19% of average. Question. What gives Southwestern the right to generate at all? Answer. Southwestern is one of two project users which pay into the U.S. Treasury for water storage in Lake Texoma. The other is Municipal & Industrial (M&I) water supply. As an authorized user of the project with designated water storage, Southwestern has the right to use the water storage for which it has paid. That said, however, Southwestern and its customers have voluntarily reduced generation to save storage during the drought responsible for the low Lake Texoma elevations. Question. Who are Southwestern's customers at Denison? Answer. The entire output of the project is marketed to Rayburn Country Electric Cooperative and Tex-La Electric Cooperative, both of which are not-for-profit rural electric cooperatives serving electrical load mainly in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. Question. What is ERCOT? Answer. ERCOT is one of nine Independent System Operators (ISO) in the United States.

  • Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma
    Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma Lowell Caneday, Ph.D. 6/30/2017 Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. Chang-Heng (Hank) Yang This page intentionally left blank. i Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan (RMP). On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Julie Roach, manager of Lake Texoma State Park. Assistance was also provided by Kris Marek, Doug Hawthorne, Don Schafer and Ron McWhirter – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Merle Cox, Regional Manager of the Southeastern Region of Oklahoma State Parks also attended these meetings and assisted throughout the project. This RMP supplements and updates an earlier document from 2009. Due to the events of the time, the 2009 RMP focused on other possible properties that could be considered for expansion and development within the Oklahoma State Park system. Given the events and circumstances present in 2017, this RMP focuses on the future of the properties remaining within the boundaries of the extant Lake Texoma State Park. The October 2016 kick-off meeting followed critical discussions between the Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO), OTRD, Pointe Vista, and other parties regarding properties formerly included in the original Lake Texoma State Park. Attending this kick-off meeting on behalf of Pointe Vista and Catfish Bay Marina was Ryan Chapman.
