Altus is the Jackson County seat and the home of Altus Air Force Base in far southwestern Oklahoma on the North Fork of the Red River, where land clearing demand centers on county seat commercial development, Air Force base community residential growth, and agricultural land management in this major cotton and wheat farming county of the Southern Great Plains. Jackson County's terrain has flat to gently rolling red clay plains of the Southern Great Plains with the North Fork Red River creating distinct bottomland conditions, and Oklahoma DEQ OKR10 NPDES permit coverage is required for disturbances over one acre.
Eastern red cedar and native salt cedar along the North Fork Red River corridor are the primary invasive species management challenges in Jackson County, with cedar establishing on marginal agricultural land and salt cedar colonizing the Red River tributary bottomland. Sericea lespedeza is established in Jackson County's disturbed areas and road right-of-way throughout the county.
Forestry mulching is appropriate for Altus' Jackson County Great Plains terrain, processing cedar and salt cedar on rural agricultural and residential parcels efficiently. The North Fork Red River corridor benefits from mulching's compatibility with Oklahoma Water Resources Board riparian buffer guidelines for this regulated waterway.
Altus lot clearing in Jackson County requires OKR10 NPDES permit coverage for disturbances over one acre, with North Fork Red River floodplain boundaries requiring Oklahoma Water Resources Board review for fill and grading.
