Permit changes announced for Walter F. George Lake
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, Flint Project Management Office in Fort Gaines, announced changes to the special events program that took effect Jan. 10. The major change to the policy includes the implementation of a non-refundable minimum base of $50 for a special event permit. One permit may cover up to a maximum of 10 events at Walter F. George Lake (Lake Eufaula) within the calendar year. This change is being implemented in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers national policy on the permitting of special events.
Each year the lake issues over 60 special events permits. Special event permits are required for special activities that impact use of the facilities at Walter F. George Lake. The permitting process allows the Corps to manage events held at the project, thereby minimizing impacts to recreation visitors and other permitted activities.
Request to hold a special event at the Walter F. George Lake may be obtained in person in Ft. Gaines or by calling Sarah Robinson, special event coordinator, at the Project Management Office at 229- 768-2516.
