Green River Lake: Pilot Project for Sustainable Rivers
A 1998 meeting of a small group of scientists and engineers from The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Louisville District led to a cooperative effort to modify regulation and operation of Green River Lake. This initial cooperative effort led to the national Sustainable Rivers Project between TNC and US Army Corps of Engineers. Green River is home to 71 mussel species and 151 fish species contributing to its rank as the fourth-most biologically diverse river in the nation. Improved passage of water through the Corps dam to more closely mimic naturally occurring flows, as would occur without the lake, benefits the life cycles of many aquatic species. The two most critical physical factors are water volume and temperature. The successful documentation of environmental benefits to the Green River, especially reproduction of endangered species of mussels, led to the District Engineer signing a Finding of No Significant Impact on March 13, 2006, recommending the continuation of the three-year experimental regulation of Green River Lake as the permanent method of operating this multi-purpose reservoir. Division Commander's approval was received on May 17, 2006. Continued monitoring will determine the long-term success of this effort and/or the need to make further changes.
