Blue Mountain Dam and Lake sit below Mount Magazine, the highest point in Arkansas. Since its completion in 1947, the lake has provided a wide range of recreation opportunities. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District manages the project with the authorized purposes of flood control, water supply, environmental stewardship and recreation.
Pittsburgh and Buffalo districts’ staff will update the public on the project’s status, upcoming site activities, and other topics of public interest for the Shallow Land Disposal Area (SLDA) site such as safety, environmental testing, emergency response, and the start of physical excavation.
