Roy Blunt Reservoir

Allstate Consultants leads the North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission’s development of a 2,350-acre drinking water reservoir as the owner’s representative, a project that will deliver up to 7 million gallons per day to 10 counties while fostering recreation and economic growth in underserved communities. Allstate’s award-winning Source Water Protection Plan (SWPP), recognized as the Missouri Rural Water Association’s SWPP of the Year, underscores its commitment to water quality and sustainability.

Key contributions include:

• Funding Assistance: Helped secure both grant and loan funding for planning, design, dam construction, lake bed preparation and cleanup, raw water line construction and treatment plant improvements. 
• Land Acquisition: Negotiated over 80 real estate transactions, acquiring 4,000+ acres without condemnation, including the relocation of the town of Boynton.
• Environmental Stewardship: Led EPA Brownfield efforts on 4,550 acres, managing Phase 1 and 2 assessments, abatement, demolition, and annual cleanups in the lakebed and Pollock, MO.
• Engineering and Permitting: Oversaw NEPA and US Army Corps of Engineers 404 permitting, subsurface exploration, and geotechnical recommendations for the earth dam and raw water infrastructure.
• Infrastructure and Recreation: Planned lake infrastructure, roadway replacements, utilities relocation, and recreational amenities, including a marina, boat ramp, parking, and accessible facilities.
• Environmental Mitigation: Planning and design of mitigation projects for impacts to endangered species, waters of the U.S. and cultural resources.

Allstate’s comprehensive oversight as owner’s representative ensures the project’s success in delivering water, recreation, and economic benefits to the region.
