    FINAL OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT BULL SHOALS LAKE ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI Prepared by U.S. Army Engineer District, Little Rock, Arkansas September 1973 Summary Sheet ( ) Draft (X) Final Environmental Statement Responsible Office: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District Little Rock, Arkansas 1. Name of Action: (X) Administrative ( ) Legislative 2. Description of Action: The operation and maintenance of Bull Shoals Lake consists of hydroelectric power generation, flood control, operation and maintenance of parks, and management of land and water resources. 3. a. Environmental Impacts of the Operation and Maintenance Program. - The generators at Bull Shoals produce much needed electrical energy without air pollution. Generation has created a downstream environment that is dependent on cold water releases. Lake fluctuations change the environment along the shoreline with respect to fish spawning and vegetation survival. The heavy recreational use of the lake results in changes 1n the local environment. The flood control operations preserve and stabilize the downstream environment. b. Adverse Environmental Effects of the Operations and Maintenance Program. - Power generation and flood control regulation result in lake fluctuations that adversely affect vegetation along the shoreline and the fish in the lake. Operation of the parks results in solid waste and sewage disposal problems. Overuse and encroachments cause timber damage and destruction. 4. Alternatives to Present Operation and Maintenance Programs. - The alternatives to the present O&M practices would be modification or total cessation of hydroelectric power generation, flood control, recreational activities, and management practices. 5.

The Corps of Engineers Report says it all. It’s evident that portions of the spillway chute were founded on clay which it is surmised probably shrank during the 5 years of drought and created voids. When water was let down the chute it filled the voids with water and created uplift. It’s surmised that the water coming down the chute probably did the rest of the damage and ripped apart the spillway. Obviously, the thinness of the concrete, design deficiencies, and maintenance issues were factors. Question: Did DWR think the chute was founded on rock?)

ARKANSAS ABSTRACT Water qualities of two natural streams (Buffalo and Kings Rivers), one new coId-tailwater (Beaver), and two old coId-tailwaters (Norfork and Bull Shoals) in northwestern Arkansas were studied from July 1965 through October 1968. The essential difference between the old cold-tailwaters and natural streams is a change in water quality which allows the development of a new productive ecological environment.

Arkansas Trout Fishing River reports on Orvis.com Fly Fishing Fishing Reports under Resources or anglersfishinginfo.com Prior to 1950, trout fishing was limited to the state's only major cold-water stream, the Spring River. The Spring begins as the 58-degree, 9-million-gallons-an-hour flow of Mammoth Spring, which is located in AR at the MO state line. Rainbow trout were first stocked on the Spring around the turn of the century. With the completion of Norfork Dam on the North Fork of the White River in 1944 & Bull Shoals Dam on the White River in 1951, the groundwork was laid for major expansions of the state's trout fisheries. The AG&FC decided to introduce trout into the combined 97 miles of oxygen-rich, cold-waters below the dams. Cooperating with federal officials, they placed 39,216 rainbow trout into the streams in 1951. Stocking efforts received a boost in 1957 when, as mitigation for the loss of warm-water habitat, the U.S.
