PLAINVIEW, Ark. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nimrod-Blue Mountain Project Office is advising landowners adjacent to public lands around Nimrod and Blue Mountain Lakes that contract maintenance crews will be conducting boundary line maintenance along a 20-mile section of government boundary at Nimrod Lake and a 17-mile section at Blue Mountain Lake. Work is currently underway at Blue Mountain Lake.
Work will be conducted on the USACE boundary line near the City of Magazine on Blue Mountain Lake and sections of boundary located east of the City of Plainview, along State Highway 60 on Nimrod Lake.
The maintenance work is being conducted by CLETO MENDEZ LLC under contract from USACE. The contractor is reestablishing the existing USACE boundary line. Work includes locating survey monuments, clearing brush along the boundary line on the public land side, replacing and painting boundary line posts and painting trees in between the survey monuments to serve as reference points. The public may see maintenance crews working around their neighborhoods and walking on the public land behind their homes or properties.
Residents may also notice uniformed USACE park rangers inspecting portions of the boundary line during the coming months as the contract maintenance work is performed.
Missing boundary monuments will be reestablished at a later date by USACE officials. Encroachments and trespasses onto public property will be documented.
These include mowing, unauthorized paths, tree cutting, personal property stored on public land and structures such as sheds, houses and decks for USACE officials to review.
The Nimrod-Blue Mountain Project Office manages Nimrod and Blue Mountain Lakes as well as the surrounding public lands to meet the needs of human and natural communities for present and future generations.
