The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has extended the public comment period to the B.
Everett Jordan Lake's Master Plan update until January 18, 2008.

The original Master Plan for the project was published in 1982. The new document is
the first major update of that initial plan. The Master Plan guides development and
management of all project lands, surface waters, recreational resources, natural and
cultural resources. In doing so, the plan must reconcile public desires with resource
capabilities and the management policies of the Corps and its managing partners.
The plan is not primarily focused on management of water flows from Jordan Dam and
is not intended to address concerns raised by the current drought situation affecting
much of North Carolina.

The subjects on which the Corps is seeking input from the public in this forum are
primarily the publics' interests and desires related to future recreational development,
natural resource conservation and cultural resource protection.

Anyone who wishes to examine the draft Master Plan may see the plan by visiting the
Corps' B. Everett Jordan Visitor Assistance Center at 2080 Jordan Dam Road,
Moncure, North Carolina, 27559; the North Carolina State Parks Office for Jordan Lake
at 380 State Park Road, Apex, North Carolina 27523; or by visiting Corps' B. Everett
