“This legislation brings much-needed clarity for families and property owners at Table Rock Lake," said Burlison. “Whether it’s protecting septic systems essential to their homes or preventing costly relocations due to past property line discrepancies, these provisions offer practical solutions and peace of mind to homeowners.” 

This significant provision within the WRDA allows for the continued presence of eligible structures, including septic systems, dwellings, and minor encroachments, on Army Corps of Engineers land around Table Rock Lake.  

"This is a victory for the families who call Table Rock Lake home," Burlison emphasized.  

This passage marks a significant achievement in protecting the property rights of constituents and ensuring that local communities can thrive without undue regulatory interference. Representative Burlison looks forward to the President signing the bill to provide the needed relief and clarity for Table Rock Lake property owners.
