Whereas, the Fort Worth District, U.S. Armey Corps of Engineers (USACE) worked
in partnership with the North Central Texas council of Governments along with 11 other state and
local entities to develop the future water related development policy incorporated into the Draft

Whereas, the Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) has been prepared in
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, the Council of
Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, and the
USACE implementing regulations; and
Whereas, the policies and conclusions included in the PEA will allow recreation
opportunities at Lewisville Lake to expand for generations to come while maintaining a reasonable
amount of boater safety, user enjoyment and water quality, and protecting the natural resources of
the lake/and
Whereas, any additional growth in the carrying capacity of Lewisville Lake has been
restricted to the area of the lake with the least use; and
Whereas, USACE's policy to require the various entities requesting authorization of
development projects affecting the carrying capacity of the lake to work together to come to a
consensus and resubmit their requests so that the total carrying capacity of each zone will not be
exceeded represents a reasonable approach that balances both the need for water quality and
recreation.

Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Proposed Development Activities on Federal lands
