level) around the project reservoir (Lake of the Ozarks). Property
within the boundary encompasses all 57,460 surface acres of the project
reservoir and 2,118 acres of lands adjacent to reservoir and downstream
of Bagnell Dam. The lands proposed to be removed consist of five
separate sites throughout the project reservoir and represent less than
one percent of the project's total acreage. These five sites primarily
consist of hay fields, cattle pastures, private camping areas, isolated
ponds, and forested and riparian areas. Ameren UE states that the
underlying lands at these five sites are not needed for project
operation and maintenance or other project purposes, including
recreation, shoreline control, or protection of environmental
resources. Ameren UE also states it would continue to retain the right
to flow water over the lands proposed for removal should the need
arise.
