The Senate Resolution urges the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to thoroughly evaluate the One Lake project, which proposes to create a 1,500-acre lake by dredging and damming the Pearl River near Jackson, Mississippi. The resolution highlights concerns regarding the project's potential impacts on the river's seasonal flow, temperature, and overall ecosystem, including risks of saltwater intrusion, habitat destruction, increased pollution, and adverse effects on navigation and recreation. It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive assessment of the project's technical feasibility, economic justification, and environmental acceptability, particularly considering the downstream effects on the Pearl River Basin.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the Corps to consider all available data and alternatives, including those outlined in a recent Notice of Intent to Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement. It stresses the importance of conducting detailed economic and environmental impact analyses that encompass all river-dependent industries and municipalities, as well as compliance with the Clean Water Act. The resolution requests that the Corps provide a consistency determination to relevant state agencies and ensure that the project design addresses any potential adverse impacts or includes appropriate mitigation measures. Copies of the resolution are to be sent to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and members of the Louisiana congressional delegation.
