Rock Creek Lake SRA (Dundy County)
An aquatic habitat project was completed at Rock Creek Lake in the early 2000's. A
sediment basin was constructed during this project to prevent sedimentation within the
reservoir. Sediment was last removed from the basin in 2018 and needs maintenance again.
Additionally, the sediment basin design does not allow the efficient removal of sediment and
should be redesigned.
Goals: Habitat
Tasks:
a. Remove sediment from sediment basin to maintain water quality with the lake.
b. Stabilize banks upstream of the lake to reduce future sedimentation.
c. Improve removal of accumulated sediment by redesigning the dike.

Sutherland Reservoir SRA Inlet (Lincoln County)
Located 30 minutes west of North Platte, Sutherland Reservoir has an inlet system that is
very popular with shore anglers pursuing Walleye, White Bass, and Wipers. Angler access is
difficult and could be improved like the inlet projects completed at Johnson and Maloney
reservoirs. Further additions of habitat along the inlet will enhance anglers fishing
opportunities.
Goals: Habitat, Access
Tasks:
a. Improve angler access along the inlet of Sutherland Reservoir.
b. Enhance in-lake fish habitat using cedar trees and rock shoals.
