SECTION XIV- CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
14.01 CONCLUSIONS
Wappapello Lake became operational in 1941. Since that time, it has been a tremendous influence on the Southeastern Missouri region. Its authorized purpose has provided flood control on the St. Francis River Basin, with collateral uses of fish and wildlife conservation and recreation added by subsequent legislation.
Management of the park and recreation areas and water and land use allocations at Wappapello Lake as outlined in this plan will provide quality public facilities. All lake resources will be continually monitored to preserve and protect these resources at a high level of quality.
14.02 RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that this updated plan be approved as a basis for further resources and public use management through 2010.
