Burlison Welcomes Army Corps Workshops to Help Table Rock Lake Landowners Resolve Boundary Issues
Washington, D.C. — Congressman Eric Burlison (MO-07) today welcomed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' announcement of a series of in-person workshops to help Table Rock Lake landowners identify and resolve long-standing boundary disputes on federal land.
The workshops follow updated guidance and new authorities that allow the Corps to address certain pre-existing boundary concerns through a clearer, more streamlined process without delaying shoreline use permits. Eligible homes or improvements that have existed for years may now have a defined path toward resolution, including continued use as allowed by law.
"For landowners around Table Rock Lake who acted in good faith, the uncertainty and inconsistent enforcement have caused real stress," said Congressman Burlison. "These workshops are a step in the right direction and show a much-needed shift toward clarity, fairness, and common sense."
According to the Corps, the sessions will be held as drop-in workshops, allowing landowners to meet one-on-one with agency staff. Registration is optional, but landowners may submit information in advance to help the Corps review their property and outline next steps.
Workshops are from 4:30-7:00 p.m.
- February 17 — Dewey Short Visitor Center, Branson, Missouri
- February 18 — New Testament Christian Church, Reeds Spring, Missouri
- February 19 — United Methodist Church, Shell Knob, Missouri
Congressman Burlison has worked consistently with Army and Corps leadership to ensure enforcement practices at Table Rock Lake align with the law passed by Congress in 2024 and the Corps' stated mission of serving the public.
"There is still work ahead," Burlison added. "I'll remain engaged to make sure these changes are implemented fairly and that Missouri homeowners get the certainty they deserve."
