CoolHandFluke Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 I have been told it will end up like fellows, or at very least electric motor only lake. The 2 lakes they have proposed are both almost twice the size of Fellows. Fellows is 800 acres these are both around 1500.
CoolHandFluke Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 They have also thrown out the idea of piping water from Stockton to joplin ( too expensive). Instead the plan is to pump water out of Shoal creek into the new lake during high water for storage.

In other words four times more than needed. Should be some environmentalist that could find at least a couple endangered critters living in those streams. Have they banned car washes and closed down the semi truck wash? if they haven't they aren't in need of more water they just want to take that Federal grant and ti do that they have to build it. Does this need voter approval?
CoolHandFluke Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 NO. They already have approval for Eminent domain. I feel bad for the farmers in that area. The Army core of Engineers will build the lake, but I would be surprised if it is finished in the next decade!
tjm Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Find a mad tom or two and will shut it down under the ESA. tho1mas 1
dan hufferd Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I live in the area, i can tell you many of us don't want our land condemned.
MoCarp Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 They have been planing a lake since the 60s in that general area this one is a baby they should make one at least 20k some people will get run off their land but this lake has been needed for a very long time MONKEYS? what monkeys?
Quillback Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I would go for electric only, that lake will be just big enough that it will attract gas motor/fiberglass tournaments. I'm a glass owing, gas powered boat owner myself and I don't hate tourneys, but it would be nice to have some lakes around that don't get hammered by tourneys every Saturday. It's probably not part of their agenda, but if they planned from the get go to create fish habitat before flooding the lake it could be a dynamite fishing lake. snagged in outlet 3 1
