Project scope
Plan: The proposed action is rehabilitation of Stigler Lake Dam and an associated raw-water pipeline for the Stigler Water Treatment Plant during dam construction. The FONSI describes connecting an existing waterline to the plant, and also describes a new pipeline segment running from an existing raw-water pipeline to the plant. It does not further clarify the precise configuration of that connection.
Reported status and procurement
- Reported development
Plan: During dam construction, the treatment plant would be unable to take water from Stigler Lake. The proposed 12-inch-diameter pipeline would convey raw water approximately 5,135 feet from an existing pipeline originating at Lake John Wells directly to the treatment plant to maintain its operation. The source does not report that construction has commenced or been completed.
- Procurement availability
- Unknown / not established
Reported regulatory context
Reclamation issued a FONSI, finding that the project is not a major Federal action significantly affecting the human environment and that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required; the EA considered No Action and Proposed Action alternatives. The source reports USACE authorization on May 23, 2025, for discharge of fill material into waters of the United States under Nationwide Permits 3 and 58, and states that Section 404 requirements and ODEQ-approved Section 401 Water Quality Certification conditions apply. The City is required to obtain an OKR10 Construction Stormwater Permit before construction and to develop and implement a stormwater pollution prevention plan. On January 8, 2025, SHPO agreed with the assessment that there are no known historic properties affected within the APE; on February 10, 2025, OAS agreed with findings concerning the absence of effects on prehistoric archaeological resources. These are qualified findings: if historic properties or resources are encountered during construction, the City must halt work in their vicinity and notify Reclamation; work may resume only after Reclamation completes SHPO consultation and any appropriate protective measures are implemented. The FONSI reports these determinations and requirements but does not establish the current status of every required permit or condition.
Reported financing
The City applied for and received a federal grant through Reclamation’s Drought Resiliency Program, and Reclamation says it is providing project funding. The source gives no grant amount, disbursement details, or total project cost.
A source report alone does not establish current progress or an open buying window.
Project summary
The Stigler Lake Dam Rehabilitation Project is proposed by the City of Stigler in Haskell County, Oklahoma. A June 2025 FONSI describes planned seepage-control and slope work, spillway rehabilitation, and a proposed raw-water pipeline to maintain treatment-plant operation during dam construction. Reclamation reports providing project funding and that the City received a grant through its Drought Resiliency Program. The FONSI reports USACE authorization dated May 23, 2025, and requires the City to obtain an OKR10 Construction Stormwater Permit before construction.
Evidence limits and unknowns
The June 2025 FONSI does not state whether construction has started, is ongoing, or has been completed.
The FONSI requires an OKR10 Construction Stormwater Permit before construction but does not state whether it has since been obtained.
The FONSI identifies FNI's 2023 design contract but does not identify a construction contractor or report procurement status or packages.
The source gives no grant amount, total project cost, or funding disbursement details.
The FONSI describes the pipeline connection both as connecting an existing waterline and as a new segment from an existing raw-water pipeline; it does not clarify the precise configuration.
The supplied evidence covers the June 2025 FONSI; it references an attached or incorporated environmental assessment, whose full text is not separately included in the supplied pages. Graphical content was not interpreted (u0001–u0008; EA reference at u0003).
The FONSI reports permit and consultation determinations as of its text but does not establish whether requirements or conditions have changed since June 2025.
