ROGERS, Ark. -- The Army Corps of Engineers is advising landowners adjacent to public lands on Beaver Lake that work crews are currently conducting boundary line maintenance in the vicinity south of the Monte Ne, working north towards the Prairie Creek area.
The work will be ongoing for the next several months. Landowners in Horseshoe Bend, Escalapia Hollow, Beaver Shores, Serenity Point, and Avoca Hollow will likely see contractors working along the boundary line adjacent to their property.
Wilco Contracting, Inc. of Yellville, Ark. will conduct the work under contract with the Corps. All workers and vehicles will have identification as a Corps contractor.
The firm is re-marking the existing Corps 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. Missing boundary monuments will be reestablished at a later date by Corps personnel.
Encroachments on public property such as excessive mowing, unauthorized paths and tree cutting, personal property stored on public land and structures such as sheds, houses and decks will be documented.
The Corps manages Beaver Lake and the surrounding public lands to meet the needs of human and natural communities for present and future generations.
For more information, contact Deputy Operations Project Manager, Michael Hurley at 479- 636-1210, extension 1716, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
