U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, lower Zorinsky lake to Control
Zebra Mussels
A multi-agency team conducted a
controlled winter lowering of the reservoir to elevation 1090 feet
mean sea level. Any zebra mussels exposed to the air are subject to
drying out and or freezing, which is lethal. The environmental assessment
determined that there would be no significant long term impact to the
environment from this action.
Zebra mussels are an invasive species that can multiply
exponentially and have adverse ecological impacts such as out-competing
fish for food supply in lakes, attaching to boats and covering everything
in sight.
The
city has closed access to Zorinsky Lake as a safety measure due to
the drawdown of the lake and potentially unsafe ice conditions. For
questions regarding the closure of the lake, please contact the City
of Omaha Parks and Recreation Office at (402) 444-5902.
The final environmental assessment can be viewed at: http://www.nwo.usace.army.mil/.
Copies of the EA can also be obtained at the Millard Branch, Omaha
Public Library, located at 13214 Westwood Lane, Omaha, NE 68144.

Boating is one of America's fastest growing recreational
activities. Over 50 million people each year go boating for fun and
relaxation using over 10 million boats. Nebraska alone has in excess
of 84,000 power boats. This does not include nearly an equal number
of vessels that do not require registration such as canoes, row boats,
sail boats and inflatables.
In an effort to promote safer boating practices,
the Game and Parks Commission offers The Nebraska Boating Safety Course.
An excellent way for the "whole crew" to learn more about
boating.
