HAVANA, Ark. – The Corps of Engineers, Nimrod-Blue Mountain Project Office announces that Waveland Swim Beach on Blue Mountain Lake has been retested and officials have determined that it is safe for public use.

Two acceptable water samples from a beach are required by the Health Department prior to reopening a swim beach. The swim beach was temporarily closed because of higher than acceptable E. coli levels that were found during routine testing conducted by the Arkansas Department of Health.
